Comments on: ESL Light Bulbs: Greener Than CFL, Cheaper Than LEDs http://www.greenoptimistic.com/2008/08/03/esl-light-bulbs/ pure green energy optimism Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:23:55 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: john http://www.greenoptimistic.com/2008/08/03/esl-light-bulbs/comment-page-1/#comment-20315 john Sat, 19 Sep 2009 16:28:00 +0000 http://www.greenoptimistic.com/?p=676#comment-20315 Pure Spectrum has now patented a CFL build that is fully dimmable(no flicker or dying out), instant on, cold to the touch, highest power factor(.96), and the energy usage is proportional to the dimming level, the light output is that of an incandescent and the price will be in the $4-$6 range. This is the answer to the NEW CFL! The have numerous patents and are manufacturing and filling orders now worldwide. Utility companies are buying them up in the droves for their free distribution program. The utility companies love them because it costs them less to deliver the power to these bulbs due to the extremely High Power Factor. ...which means the utility companies charge you less! The also have a dimmable ballast for linear fluorescents(yes, you will be able to dim fluorescents), also at a fraction of the cost of normal ballast due to the fewer parts that they use in the ballast. This will be huge, imagine a high rise office building in which the fluorescent lights dim with the amount of sunlight coming in,....daylight harvesting at a fraction of the cost...HUGE SAVINGS. Hopefully the bulbs will be on Home Depot and Wal Mart shelves soon.
