A lightbulb that lasts 35 years, has no toxic chemicals and uses hardly any power? That's green.
Talk about a green gift that just keeps on giving...
It's called the "Pharox" light bulb and although at first it seems like just another another piece of hardware to fit an emerging niche market of the ‘transforming technology’ genre, on closer inspection it does offer a remarkable way to reduce a massive carbon footprint when used in large numbers, so I thought it worth a mention.
What makes the Pharox better than the other Flourescent bulbs on the market, is its quality of light, lower usage of power and longevity. In fact, it looks like those of us fond of saying; ‘they don’t make things to last anymore,’ will have our day yet again. Certainly where the Megalev Turbine is concerned and the Lemnis Pharox Light Bulb, and most probably why free energy doesn’t appeal to the corporate world.
Anyway – there are many more things out and as many still vaulted – but let’s face it, civilisation has to start somewhere. It seems to me that with the amount of lights around the globe, next to cars, the humble light bulb is probably one of the best places to start, and as a part of the Clinton Climate Initiative, that is exactly what the Pharox is doing.
Lighting uses about 20% of worldwide energy consumption, adding about three times that to carbon emissions by the time a conventional bulb is discarded to landfills.
A quick comparison on energy consumption of 3.4 Watt bulb (40W) burning for a minimum of four hours per day:
50 incandescents = 8 flourescents = 1 Phorax
Not to mention that it has a life span of up to 50,000 hours, or approximately 35 years and can replace not only conventional lights, but Halogen and older versions of LED lights, outdoors as well as indoors.
That’s good news considering in the US alone, there are over 4 billion light sockets.
In another ‘landmark energy bill’ President George W. Bush signed last week, Americans are now required to use up to 30% less energy per household. With over 4 billion light sockets in the United States, the switch-over is estimated to lower household utility bills by more than $18 billion a year. That’s great news when you are mindful that those dollars are generated by the earth’s resources.
To clarify it further, the implementation of CFL bulbs alone as a result of this bill, will be enough to save enough electricity to have powered all the homes in Texas in 2007. According to Alliance To Save Energy, that is the equivalent of 100 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions at power plants throughout the country.
That’s just a 30% reduction replacing a few household incandescent bulbs with fluorescent bulbs (CFL)… can you imagine the savings if everyone went directly to 'Go' .. to the Lemnis Pharox bulb .. bypassing the entire CFL deal?
Lemnis Chairman, Frans Otten
The Pharox LED bulb is this year's must-have item for anyone going green. Even switching one bulb to a Pharox can help reduce your carbon footprint and create cost savings over CFL or traditional bulbs.
Like conversion to LPG, the Pharox bulb will cost more up front (currently 23 Euro = AUD$38.16), but save on energy costs over its lifespan to ultimately cost far less than a traditional incandescent bulb … oh, and the peace of mind that the air may stay clear for a little longer ... not to mention more money in the kitty each quarter as the energy bills go down.
The new Pharox bulb, is available in the United States at Upscale Lighting.
In Australia, of course, you will have to enquire and probably write to the Minster for Climate Change and Water the Hon. Penny Wong. I know I will … going to draft a letter now.

It's not that much when you look at 35 years use and savings of up to a 50th of current incandescant lighting costs. Even for me on CFL it's another 8th off the bill, each quarter... and that will be the same, no matter what source the energy comes from?
The big saving is that they don;t pour mercury into the landfills and gases into the environment.
That is awesome, I agree.
It'll be interesting to see how much we will end up paying by the time they are shipped down-under, the GST and middle-man crookery added.

Perhaps the Government will pay someone they know to do a consultancy on this, paying them some of the zillions they should be using to clear up however much is left before the final self destruct.

That is so true and the reason why so many are not *laughs* but for the one brave enough to be fearless, I'm sure $240 billion from 4 billion light sockets will afford an early retirement... now if we could just find an enterprising Australian who wants to earn approx $750 billion - maybe more?
( is the maths right here, it seems awful high but I'm working on 1.5 billion sockets x 50 dollars eah bulb = $750 billion)
I'm sure there is a market in there in one lifetime for someone...and in time ... accessories?
Coloured bulbs for the BBQ area, Christmas lights and of course the big one... solar powered Pharox lighting... there is already a variety for councils for traffic lights, and street lights.. oh it really is endless and will generate much capital.

I would like to think that with a little 'push' on the ministers here in Australia, we should be able to have them this year, at any rate... not the customery ten years .. really, in today's world it is a little unacceptable, isn't it? - especially where the urgency of the green issue is concerned.
However, with the emergence of the Chinese industry and its brilliant ability to accurately replicate, added to our recent dependance on it, would suggest good quality knock offs for half the price, which last just as long?
For me personally solar power is the best way to go, I agree... and the surplus used at night for a few hours when needed through our ingeniousness of being able to store such energy and reflect it. Otherwise I'm with you and Krystal on the whole back to basics issue... It's how I live my life for the most part, anyway.

who woulda thunk that a simple thing like a lightbulb...
when how cool would it be every night to gather infront of a big fire outside and talk and laugh and listen to tales of days gone by... I`m currently reading a book on India where a Western man goes to live in a village for 6 months and this is the life of the villagers. He worries about there being no electricity and what he will do for music when his guide tells him, 'dont worry my friend we sing and dance every night' BEAUTIFUL!
Sad to see it all boils down to money, but is the surest way to get the masses to do anything. I wonder what impact this will have on taxes with less money available for governments to squander elsewhere.

No mystery, I deleted them as I found eight relentless messages from you, demanding that I agree with you, tiring and too childish to even contemplate. Especially after I had said I was busy and would reply in due course. I was contemplating a post on why some of NASA's findings seem... well... strange.
Are you aware that you are stalking me?
Finding the same message by you on every single one of my posts, including sites not related to environment ... as well as the sites of other bloggers where I have left comments, is not acceptable, Steve. It is a serious offence in a non virtual world and I hope it is one within it too, because I have written to the management.
The idea of blogging is that you read, then you write your version, which you then post ON YOUR SITE, after you have voiced your opinion on my site ... now I have even less time to research my responce to you as I have spent the entire morning deleting your dribble from all those posts.
You are not meant to harass people in any world ... and since you have no posts of your own to offer on the subject, which bears any resemblence to anyone with an ounce of intelligence, I can only assume you are a professional stalker, at that!
A shame as I am genuinely interested in reading what you might have to say about sunspot activity and how scientists feel it affects our cycles of warming and cooling.
As for me making things up, I can assure you I do not fabricate reports, scientific charts or findings nor (like you) do I pin my entire argument on one or two findings either, that is just silly. NASA is a problem for the government and the answer goes deep into why I feel it is flawed, requiring more time than you are now worth Sir, to respond - after your childish foot stamping behaviour - but if I do, it will be primarily for my readers and not you, and becuase the subject genuinely interests me.
Again then, for the obviously hard of understanding, YOU ARE NOT A SCIENTIST as much as you would like to think you are. I have never claimed to be one, however I am a qualified journalist with a Masters Degree in research and *laughs* the irony, I interpret and probably write some of the press releases that you draw your information from.
You are simply NOT QUALIFIED to put up the stance that you have and should withdraw to patience, before you completely embarass yourself, if you haven't already.
AS I said to you before, I will respond to you IN MY OWN TIME, when I have it. You are not helping me want to respond to you at all and are now trying my patience to their limit. If you do not buggeer off, I will not respond to you at all, I don't care what you call me, or what public accusations you throw my way. Your comments will be treated as a nuisance and deleted everytime and eventually perhaps, you may be unwelcome on orble altogether.
Your whole position here is ridiculous and insulting in that my readers have no brains of their own, and cannot make up their own minds about the truth of what they read, or follow the many links provided (also from reputable sites), used to validate and cross reference the information.
AGAIN I repeat, you are not a scientist, okay?
Go to your own site Sir, and post your truth there and GET OFF MINE!

Every time I visit this blog I am impressed by how much research goes into your posts; thank you for giving us such an informed viewpoint, I know I appreciate it!
No, I'm not a scientist, but I am a science researcher - for a major television production company. That's why I know so much about science. I have written a book on physics, and I'm currently co-writing a television series on the evolution of stars. There, you didn't know that, did you? You never asked my profession, so I never offered it.
Throughout this I have been merely trying to get you to follow up your own point. You presented a blog on global warming/cooling, which had deeply-rooted innaccuracies. I gave you two links to websites which you said were flawed, and that you'd show how. You haven't - because they're not. You didn't delete the blog because of "eight relentless messages", because you know that's not what they were. You're being disingenuous. You deleted it because you had embarrassed yourself. And everyone who read the posts can see that. I challenge you to put the blog back up so that others may decide for themselves. But you won't, and we all know why.
I again gave you an opportunity to come clean, but you haven't accepted it. The opportunities remain. Put the blog back up, and explain how the two links I gave had "flaws".
Thank you.
Steve.

Lilla backs up everything that she says with various sources showing that she has read widely and not sprouted viewpoints which she has sucked out her thumb. Perhaps you should go to those websites, where people are actually getting paid to deal with queries like your own - this is a blogging community and Lilla is raising awareness over something which she is obviously passionate about. She has her point of view, you have yours. Join the community and present your facts - allow people to make up their own minds as opposed to slagging someone off.
I read the previous blog where Lilla asked you to bear with her as she is busy and next thing I get all these notifications in my inbox where you have gone around the site leaving your same comment. That`s really a bit childish don`t you think? Some of those people hadn`t even commented on the post in question.
Just a suggestion but social rules still apply in a virtual world - just relax - people have lives based in reality where they have mountains of things to deal with and cannot be at the beck and call of every internet user who comes their way.

You are so myopic in your view, and so concerned on making a 'killing' by trying to disprove me, without putting in the work on your own blog, that it is beyond belief.
I will say however, that NASA is a government funded body and a financial burden in that since the moon landing, it hasn't done anything of significance... but it must maintain it's hold on space because of China's emerging space platform. Also the Bush administration does not wish to ratify Kyoto or accept any responsibility for climate change/global warming. It could well be why the SSRS was set up to add muscle to NASA's claims? Corruption isn't new and I test all my sources. I don't know I haven't had the time to look into it, because I have you on my blog soaking up all my time. In fact, I ask you to answer me WHY someone would need to back NASA up in the first place to make their claims legitimate?
Added to this that the league of gentlemen of the newly formed SSRC are only proposing a theory. The Theory of Relational Cycles of Solar Activity. Not yet proved or disproved and so close on the heels of the IPCC report in which thousands of scientists from around the world took part in proving (over several years).. that humans are impacting detrimentally on the climte balance and cycles of nature - enough to topple the balance to another ice age prematurely - before the sun even remembers to have its next solar flare.
You will remember I also asked you a question about the sun on that post, which you have not answered either. Why not?
I will repeat that I do not place all my credibility on one or two press releases, but I'd like to look deeply into the SSRC and it's link to NASA before I comment further. Contrary to your view, I do not sprout unresearched material. The post in question was hard going as I was in a rush and there are cycles within cycles ...and I had trouble putting it in lay terms, that is why I used graphs to support my claims ... now you are telling me those graphs are fabricated too?
CO2 is CO2 and pollution is choking our world. I will never accept that we can just go on poisoning this planet and ourselves, because some upshot states that it is all to do with the sun. It doesn't matter, the oil is still running out and I still need oxygen to breathe, with or without an ice age.
It just doesn't add up and this new theory seems like a great way to shift people's focus and does really explain your incredible need to silence me on such a silly place as a blog.
And that is all I will say. I may re-post the Global Warming/Cooling post, just to shut you up and so that in due course we can debate your concerns... I am not above doing that.. and not frightened of exapanding my mind with relevant information. And becuase I am sick of you taking the things I said in that post 'Out of context' to suit your own twisted agenda.
Now do go and do something productive with your life other than sprouting the party line of those who pay your paycheck on my humble blog ... and be warned from now on I will not tolerate your harrasement to spend hours on orble answering you on any other post but that one, if it is reposted, okay?

What do you think of global cooling?
From The Home Front
Enviro Warrior
Dream Herald
Esoteric Bookshop
Thank you for your question.
I have a broad view and my mind is open on this one, but from studying many graphs and charts taken from ice core samples from around the world, I have come to the conclusion that, although not as regular as clockwork, global cooling (and warming) are natural phenomenon which occur in cycles, much like the El Nino, and with or without our help.
As far as I know, the term ‘global cooling’ has been about in many forms, almost as long as science itself. One early use goes back to James Dwight Dana, and his geophysical ‘Contracting Earth’ theory of shrinking and crumpling mountains, long before the discovery of plate tectonics.
More recently, global cooling again became popular during the 1970’s when a barrage of media releases talked about the downward temperatures from the 1940’s to the 1970’s and the 'coming of the new ice age.' One of the sources to seed the idea may have been a 1971 paper by Stephen Schneider, then a climate researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, US. Schneider's paper suggested that the cooling effect of dirty air could outweigh the warming effect of carbon dioxide, potentially leading to an ice age if aerosol pollution quadrupled.
The whole affair of that time ended up in a media frenzy labeled ‘the Ice Age that Never was,’ and the continuation of cooling has been drowned out by the global warming issue, somewhat muddying the waters in peoples minds, since.
The interesting point of this (and perhaps the one I was trying to make in my recent post), is the complexity of the terminology itself, because in the July 21, 1999, edition of the journal Nature scientists first suggested that their findings led them to believe that global warming can sometimes lead (or be the precursor) to cold weather (global cooling), or indeed a world wide freeze.
These findings can be read <<here>>
Alternatively, in his book, Catastrophe, David Keyes openly tracks and pin-points a volcanic eruption in Java which occurred after a period of warming, whose smoke blocked the sun for three years, causing the mini-ice age in 535AD.
In fact, major volcanic eruptions can not be ruled out as important contributors to ‘global cooling’ as they add significant quantities of sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere, lowering global surface temperatures. Conversion of the sulphur dioxide to sulphuric acid aerosol in the stratosphere takes many months, so maximum cooling only eventuates up to a year after the eruption. It may take as long as seven years before the cooling influence of the volcanic aerosol disappears completely.
There are many theories (old and new) and no one can really say for sure, wether or not we are the first advanced industrial/nuclear race on this planet, or not. Therefore we have no guide as to the role that floating oil and other harmful man-made pollutants in the air will achieve. We do know that insecticides and other chemical things are harmful to humans.
We know that particles of air born chemicals like methane and CO2 creates a heat trapping effect of the sun in what we have term the Green house effect, and that like the 1999 findings, this period of warming may well have the ability to trigger global cooling, leading into a premature freeze.
Scientific readings from around the Pacific Ocean suggest that the ocean’s surface is warming and unable to hold anymore CO2. The planet’s lungs are its trees and we are clearing forests too fast, the ice caps are melting and there can be no mistake that we are heading into a period of climatic uncertainty on this planet as a result.
The IPCC findings are conclusive that mankind is impacting on the balance of warming and cooling, causing a wobbling effect of climatic extremes, where we are getting colder winters and hotter summers, with wetter monsoons expected along the equator … one example recently in the news, was that of Europe’s dependence on the Gulf Stream and what a simple drop of 5 degrees can mean to those relying on it’s warm air currents. What's worrying is that for some years now, global climate models have been predicting a future weakening of the Gulf Stream, as a consequence of global warming, not cooling?
As my recent critic shows with his links, some scientists now believe that the Sun has been responsible for our climatic extremes for thousands of years, through its sunspot and solar flare activity. This relatively new theory is based on the fact that recently ‘..something has happened to our sun?’
Previously showing as a very low impact on the earth’s climate, the fact remains that a complete cessation in sun spot activity (like now), did also occur during the great medieval chill in Europe during the 17th Century.
If this is the case, then it will be useful to look at the growing number of scientists who believe that by heating the planet with loads of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, we may well have inadvertently diverted the next naturally occurring ice age from happening, despite the fact that things are dying everywhere and we are becoming short on oxygen.
At this stage, to me, it looks like anyone’s guess, as we look set to experience something unrecorded in our history books. A time, perhaps, when ancient universal rhythms clash with modern technological pollution and know how.
There are so many more theories of global cooling and I have so little time to list them all, but one thing I do know, ‘Global cooling’ is a term that means that the temperatures of the planet (or a part of it), are cooling down. Added to that is the fact that our brief view of history has often shown this to have occurred, after things have warmed up a little first, for whatever reason.
Who knows, by this time next year, ‘Global cooling’ may have a whole new dimension to it…and as I said earlier, I remain open (and fascinated) to the changes as they take place. However, I will be the first to stomp on excess and pollution, and its possible role in the grand scheme of things, as it unfolds. No doubts there…
