EU lightbulb prohibition

DOTZAUER RECOMMENDS: High-Voltage Halogen-Bulbs

Unfortunately we have often learned that media coverage is unliteral informing about the European Commission's proposals for a regulation progressively phasing out incandescent bulbs with  "Wolfram-wire" starting in September 2009 and finishing at the end of 2012.  As a result this step shall be helpful to the environment as well as to everyone of us, because we will save energy, CO2 as well as money. But this proposal also results in a massive uncertainty of the population.

Getting into panic, panic shoppings as well as changing current or even having doubts about buying new crystal chandeliers are definitely displaced, because until the year 2011 everyone will still have the choice between "clear" 40 W or 60 W light bulbs or the already existing energysaving alternatives. For all our clients, who want to change to energysaving alternatives  we are recommending the high-voltage Halogen-bulbs of OSRAM. There`s no optical difference to the conventional bulbs, but they cut electricity costs to 70 % and electrical life is doubled. They are availabe in candle or bulb-shape for E14 and E27-socket,  dimmable, without mercury and a perfect alternative especially regarding light colour.

Due to the fact, that they achieve light capacity with less energy, please pay attention to the number of watts:

Number of watts of conventional light bulbs	Number of watts of high voltage Halogen bulbs
25 W	18 W
35 W / 40 W	28 W
60 W	42 W
75 W	52 W
100 W	70 W
150 W	105 W

 

Until year 2011 lightings industries are massively forced to develop new energy savings alternatives and release them on the european market. The main focus is already on LED technologies. LEDs (light emitting diodes) offer large energy savings potencial. Further they have an extremly long electrical life, are insensitive to shocks and universally usable. Due to expert opions, replacement of all conventional light bulbs to LEDs will lead to an energy saving potencial which is comparable to 12,5 million tons of coal or 68 billions of automobile batteries each year.
