Since September, the EU starts a ban on the sale of incandescent lamps of 100 watts – Europe is gradually moving towards energy conservation. Major British supermarkets have decided that the pull is not, and has already imposed a ban from this month.Thousands of residents of the United Kingdom have rushed to find, NTV.Protiv transfer of energy-saving light bulbs at the British several reasons. Who is afraid of mercury that they contain, some annoying that they are not lit at once, others simply do not like external vid.No experts are on his. Under normal light on the coverage is 5% of the energy and energy efficiency – almost vsya.Napomnim that since 2012 the EU will be completely banned the sale of conventional incandescent lamps. According to the decision taken by EU energy ministers, traditional light bulbs will be gradually withdrawn from circulation experts consider lighting, which was already 130 years old, very inefficient.

New types of light sources are more expensive than incandescent lamps, but they consume less power and are longer.
