Under the ban, the United States, but the price of incandescent rose

You may have heard the news that "the incandescent lamp is dead," and when you see the news, it is no longer in the United states. The United States government has begun to enforce the law banning the production and import of incandescent lamps. From the beginning of January 1, 2014, the old technology will slowly disappear from the land of the United states. The 40 and 60 watt light bulb was once thought to be the most popular light bulb in the United states. The Government recommends that people use energy-efficient light bulbs.

However Interestingly, the United States only prohibits 40 Watt and 60 watt incandescent lamp. That is, you can actually buy 43, 72 or 150 watt incandescent lamp as a substitute. GE General Electric Company John Strainic said: this act is indeed a lot of loopholes.

So, what happened in January 1, 2014! In fact, the price of ordinary light bulbs has gone up. The so-called "light bulb ban" is just one of the provisions of the energy independence and Security Act signed by President Bush seven years ago. Because, at that time, the survey found that the most popular 40 and 60 watt light bulb, in fact, people only use it to the effect of the 25%, so you only need to buy a light bulb of 43 watts, you can reach the effect of 60 watts.

However, when the restraining order comes, as long as 25 per cent of the 43 watt incandescent lamp, now need $1.5. Although expensive, but in theory it can help you save electricity. The original 60 watt light bulb needs $3 a day for lighting up to $8, and now only $43 for the $6. Of course, incandescent (halogen) life, much less than the current LED lamp.
