I'll stick with HID's, nice and bright. Just need to make sure I remember to turn off the outside one otherwise I'll end up with a Boeing 747 parked in my front room.
I have had great luck with CFLs. And LED. The Straight PL types from Philips invention started the CFL revolution. Straight are slightly more efficient, bending the glass causes some of the phosphors to not perform to optimum, by a tiny amount, but it certainly shrunk the lamp to fit everywhere.
Sidieblooming - A fluorescent light has to have mercury to work. It is the mercury in vapor form that strikes the phosphor coating of the lamp that makes it glow and give off light. The guy that invented the CFL at GE, tired a number of different ways to make them work with other elements and some of them did give off light, but they never reached the same level of lumen per watt that the standard mercury filled CFL makes.
We had a major change in our electric company pricing structure years ago. My one bedroom apartment electric bill went from around $22 dollars a month to nearly $50 bucks, with no change in my consumption. As I grappled with trying to make sense of it all, I made the decision to switch out all the 40 to 100 watt light bulbs I used with lower wattage CFL equivalents. Yep, it was a few bucks, but the lower bill, with the new pricing, I received from that point on was worth it. These bulbs do have an impact on your usage.
There are testing laboratories which carry out a huge variety of test conditions for all kinds of light sources we see everyday to find out how they behave. They use a halogen sniffer, the same one garages use to detect halogen leaks from a car engine, and that thing started screaming when it was held above the CFL lamp. I've seen it on a serious TV documentary about the light bulb cartel founded in 1925-1947-Today. That's why light bulbs don't live more than 2000 pre-designed hours!
I am not sure if CFL's are going out of style. I still have incandescent bulbs in my house. But when they burn out I am replacing them with CFL's. They seem to last forever. But when they do burn out I dispose of them by going to Home Depot. It's the right thing to do.
In a documentary someone held a halogen detector from a car workshop to detect oil fume leaks aobout 20cm over a CFL, and this thing was chanting in a high tone. A colleague of the company I work for told me that he noticed a pretty bad smell after replacing light bulbs by CFL's.
they are more efficient but they only give a narrow range of the spectrum. I like the simple incandescent light bulbs better because their light is more natural and warm with no flicker.
I hate to say this, for the ones that think all Phillips light bulbs are made in Europe are wrong! The incandescent plant lights are manufactured in China :(
You say your LED bulbs are way more efficient than cfl's? Where do you get them. Manufacturers are still making LED lights which are maybe 20-50% better because consumers will buy them. Cree can manufacture LEDs that are 4x better but consumers aren't demanding them.
I bought e149698 bulbs at home depot about 7 years ago, they are all automatically controlled to come on every day at sunset, and turn off 2.5 hours later. In addition to this, there are motion sensors that have the lights come on for 4 min intervals, and this occurs about 3 times every night. With the short cycling included, I would estimate any one bulb has about 7500 hours on it. I have never had to replace any of these type.
The circuit board does not contain any hazordous materials because it's contained in the bulb.Wear a dust mask if you break one and wash your hands after.
I know that lead free solder is banned in medical electronics and in aerospace electronics, they have to use good old 60:40 or something similar in those. One other problem it often has is the formation of tin whiskers apparently, the lead puts a stop to it. It's no big seal using lead free solder on a copper water line, even though the old lead stuff never really harmed anyone there either, but the last thing you want is a piece of navigation gear shorting out from tin whiskers at 40,000 feet.
SLAVE LABOR Please TCP prove no Chinese people who are incarcerated in China have no hands on, no involvement in the production of ANY (you hear me) ANY, not one breath spent by anyone in prison working on any part of your beautiful product. Bravo. Lead on your own. Build Peace live better everyday
You won't believe how Subjective the members of the TH-cam are. I am an engineer and I can say this. CFLs are good idea at some places but not at the other. It’s excellent idea mainly at places where it’s hot and Air Conditioners are used all the time. In this case, if the package says each bulb will save you $50 in electricity. It will actually save you more than $150 in electricity due to the reduced cooling cost from your AC.
dummies who pay $35USD for 6 light bulbs that really suck. and much more mercury, and other poisons, in seafood than in CFL lights. LEDs are a joke for real lighting!
Like I said, once I heard them mention in the video that they use RoHS compliant lead free solder the ballast circuit board I knew that they were crap, its the same reason a lot of TVs and other electronics won't last more then five years before failing. One CFL I have had some luck with are the Phillips branded ones for some reason, maybe they make their own? The UL number on those is E 130360 Another is a Syvania brand one with a UL number of E 137657.
the incandescent light bulb works on the basis that the filament is bombarded by electrons which vibrate it and thus cause it to emit light. However it releases more heat then light just because heat itself is vibration of the atoms. no matter wat alloy u use more heat will be released
The CFLs that light up instantly soon go black at the ends and fail after a short life. The material that coats the cathodes (filaments) gets ripped away and coats the inside of the tube black. The ones that start dull and take 1-2 seconds to come up to full brightness last WAY longer. Their filaments get to full heat before much voltage is applied to the ends of the tube. We set up a 10 watt conventional tube on an electronic ballast using this method and got 300,000 starts before we gave up.
It is in a solid state which makes it much more difficult to harm anything as it can be picked up and disposed of, and it's 1.5mg. Someone that weighs 70kg (about 154 lbs) would need 20-60mg for it to be lethal, that is the absolute minimum...but it can be as high as 57mg or more/kg of body weight which is 4g. This would be lethal to small animals at most.
pcross84 It's actually not terrible unless it's been methylated. Granted, it's not GOOD for the environment, but there are many elements and compounds that are significantly more persistent and much more toxic.
A vast majority of consumables are made in China these days because their labor rates are cheapest and they have an inexhaustible labor force willing to work for about $5000 a year. Consumers always seem to consider price above all other criteria. Some comparable electronic components made in the EU or the US cost 3 to 5 times as much as the Chinese counterparts.
I am confident that I have never had a CFL last for 10,000 hours! Additionally, what happens ten years from now when we have dumps full of these CFLs and their mercury?
I replied to the other guy's comment already (he was wrong), but I seriously doubt broken incandescent bulbs emit tungsten - it's a metal with a famously high melting point (3,422 degrees Celsius) and solid at room temperature (unlike mercury). To get gaseous tungsten you'd have to heat it to the boiling point, which is 5,555 deg. C (normal lightbulb operating temperature is usually about 3000 deg. C)
I think the glass is just held while the screw rod is allowed to unscrew just like a screw (excuse the overuse of the word screw for nothing else came to my mind).
The mercury in a CFL is not all that harmful unless it mixes with water and becomes Methyl mercury. If CFL's are disposed of properly, the danger can be managed.
@stickedU You're joking, right? It takes more energy to produce a CFL than it does to make one incandescent light bulb. And there are far less hazardous materials used.
YAY! Let us promote our product as green and innovative, but let us outsource manufacturing to China; a heavily coal-based economy with slave-like factories.
You're so right about slave-like factories. Chinese factories give crap wages to its employees especially the labor work, but demand its employees to always work so hard and overtime without being paid extra and call it loyalty.
Technology Connections video made me curious about the manufacturing of these bulbs.
Same 🤣
Yep.
Same
Same
I remember this things being advertised as the most efficient lighting way
But now....
I am proud to be the TCP distributor in Bristol, VA
I'll stick with HID's, nice and bright. Just need to make sure I remember to turn off the outside one otherwise I'll end up with a Boeing 747 parked in my front room.
Watching 2019, now CFL is vintage tech
I know right 😊 lol
Yet only Dubai has up to date efficient lighting in 2021 !
Led conquered the business.!!!!
All my light bulbs are still CFLs I don’t understand
take a shot every time she says TCP xD i'd die

Love watching these old videos on way outdated technology. It's still a neat process.

They are ting of the past, but this video will be here forever.
Also nice to see that those are US market ones because I can tell by the base and the packaging. Also I think it said 120v too.

my home use alot of white daylight CFL twister bulbs,,,
few soft white twister bulbs,,,
big save electric bill down
Ow My God ... i heard TCP in this movie like 1000000 Times :S
THOSE 15,000 manufacturing jobs should be in America.

This is like watching a video on how typewriters are made
2019 and yet i still have a box of new cfl bulbs from them never used. I use led now all over the house
I HATE LED bulbs.
@@carbonblack1002 10-4 from me on the led bulbs. the CFL bulb is better and more light from same.
@@carbonblack1002 I know LED is better but still I like the shape of it, they are so hard to find in Europe
The frequency they put out alsomcauses eye strain!
7:30 RoHS compliant yet at 6:30 it uses mercury the second thing on the list ?
They also can produce dirty electricity that can cause headaches, migraines, skin problems, eye strain, insomnia and a tired felling
Muy Bien Amigo......sique asi.Saludo Juan Jose Klöckl.Granada
am i the only one who thinks this is more of a very long ad for a specific company, and not a how-its-made video?
John Proffer Not in the slightest.
All. I. Can here is EXCLUSIVE here and there
Concerning the amount of mercury needed - yes!
All I heard was exclusive... oh man, what happens if someone else has a machine that rotates their lights.
Thanks for the 9 minute advertisement.
they are more efficient but they only give a narrow range of the spectrum. I like the simple incandescent light bulbs better because their light is more natural and warm with no flicker.

How quickly technologies become obsolete! I switched to all LED a couple of years ago.
rationalguy you’re not the only one there mate😉
That Intro though :'D
Which chemical compound is used in cfl plastic cabinet ? It seems like a soil with some liquid solution but I dont know exactly what it is ,
Hated the harsh light from those things. Thankfully being replaced by LED bulbs - way more efficient, better light and very cool to the touch.:)
You say your LED bulbs are way more efficient than cfl's? Where do you get them. Manufacturers are still making LED lights which are maybe 20-50% better because consumers will buy them. Cree can manufacture LEDs that are 4x better but consumers aren't demanding them.
but low HZ
Don't touch their heatsinks though
This is basically a TCP commercial. TCP CFLs are now discontinued with their LED bulbs.
Never heard the word exclusive so many times in a single video

At 17 years now, any of them still up?
Very good this vídeo conglatulation!
He did get a patent, GE did not make it because of the cost for new tooling. Once it leaked out, they had to make them since everyone else was.
The circuit board does not contain any hazordous materials because it's contained in the bulb.Wear a dust mask if you break one and wash your hands after.
If "minimal environmental footprint" mattered you would be producing these bulbs in the US. Js
Amazing🤔
nice

actually, LED do contain what would be considered hazardous materials, but unlike CCFLs, it's not in gaseous form...
Really cool video

Smart process......
Yes I agree 100% .What is a better alternative,.. # 1,2 and 3 apply to LED's as well...
all that investment and now everyone uses LEDs...

*How a CFL WAS Made (R.I.P)
They were always misunderstood
HOW do they remove the bent glass from the screw shaped machine? They nicely omitted that step in the whole video.
Easy! Just Unscrew it.
Easy, the screw shaped glass is unscrewed from the screw shaped form.
This seems more like an ad for TCP than a "how it's made"
You are right. Nothing but an ad.

watch this in ten years later after the upload i still have flourescent lamp and cfl works. but majority is replace by led because is more efficient
how i can start industry.and how much finance required,
thought it was gonna be about choppers
