The tungsten they use does not harm humans and the effects of tungsten on the environment are limited. You can sit close to one and suffer no harm, break one and you are not exposed to any poisonous toxins. In contrast, both LED and CFL lighting contain harmful toxins.

Hayek was invited to Australia for lecture tour by economist Mark Tier. However, Hayek, at that time, had to decline, but as circumstances changed and as he did not know anybody else in Australia, he wrote a note to Sydney Economist/Barrister Roger Randerson, whom he once tutored at The London School of Economics, saying that he could squeeze in a month before going on previously scheduled visits to New Zealand and Japan. me with the good news. I then suggested to Roger that he immediately write back to Hayek and ask what his fee would be. I can still quote the answer.

Dr. John Hawk, from the St John's Institute of Dermatology, London, has similarly observed, ‘a significant number of people with certain skin disorders such as seborrhoeic eczema and lupus cannot tolerate any form of fluorescent lighting in their vicinity. [Such people] can only tolerate incandescent lighting from tungsten filament bulbs.’ the SCENIHR meeting on Compact Fluorescent Lamps, European Commission, Brussels, in October 2011. After the meeting, Dr Hawk wrote, ‘It seemed to me that the SCENIHR committee, the UK representatives and I were all of similar mind concerning the potentially adverse effects of the lamps. The lighting representatives (three lighting experts from Philips) tried to modify the overall opinion slightly towards suggesting less harm but were not hugely adamant. The overall feeling of the meeting was that the lamps had a number of potentially adverse effects, mostly for abnormally photosensitive subjects but also and somewhat for normal ones, on both skin eye. …SCENIHR committee members also suggested that the incandescent lamps may not be particularly more wasteful of energy than the new CFLs.’ In 2011 Andreas Kirchner, Environmental Magda Havas, Associate Professor at Dr. David Carpenter believes it is likely Dr R. Sarkaney, FRCP MD St Thomas’ is confident that, Owen Z. Perlman, M.D., sensitivities that can lead to skin cancer.’ spokesman of the Federation of German Engineers, re-emphasized the mercury problems of CFLs and the electromagnetic radiation they produce: ‘Electrical smog develops around these lamps. They should not be used in unventilated areas and definitely not in the proximity of the head.’ Yet, even schools are using ‘energy savers’ in study lamps that are placed close to a child’s head. Trent University, Canada, similarly warns of the dangers of Electromagnetic Field (EMF) radiation from CFLs: ‘CFL’s produce a frequency range known to produce adverse effects on one’s health. Teachers who taught in classrooms [with such lighting] had a 5-fold increase risk of cancer (risk ratio 5.1) that was statistically significant. ...studies with diabetics and people who have multiple sclerosis found that when [such radiation] is reduced their symptoms diminish.’ that up to 30% of all childhood cancers come from exposure to EMFs. Professor Anthony Pinching, Associate Dean and Professor of of Clinical Immunology at Peninsula College Medicine & Dentistry, is aware of the consistency with which a proportion of CFS/ME patients report adverse experiences in settings lit with fluorescent lights, ‘fluorescent tubes have been most likely to cause problems. Note that we are not talking a about defective fluorescent tubes, but about of problem resulting from the characteristics the light emitted when they are functioning as intended.’ Hospital, London, believes that the reasons behind people feeling ill under CFL lighting are in part due to the ultraviolet light they emit and also because, ‘there are other differences between incandescent and as the ‘spikiness’ of fluorescent lights such light. Thus, it is the spectrum of emitted UV protection is put likely that, whatever lights, there will into place with fluorescent patients who react to always be a group of and can only tolerate the fluorescent light incandescent lights.’ impacted by exposure ‘there are more people All ‘energy saving’ lighting, LED and CFL, Not all light is the same.

First, harm arising from just being close to them; this harm ranges from just feeling lethargic, to skin cancer. Second, harm from the toxins released when they break exposes people to a risk of a number of cancers in the long term —if you have any doubts about this, ask your Philips sales representative or Greenpeace campaigner to break a couple of high priced ‘energy savers’ and breathe deeply. bulbs produce healthy light; they mimic the spectrum of natural light, they don’t flicker the same as ‘energy savers’, don’t produce harmful radiation, and don’t contain harmful toxins. In contrast, ‘energy saving bulbs’ contain a cocktail of toxins, produce harmful radiation, produce a lumpy light spectrum, and imperceptibly flicker. The following diagram shows the smooth healthy spectrums of light produced by tungsten incandescent lights compared to the lumpy unhealthy light spectrum produced by LED and CFL lights. of a Rolls Royce of lighting.

Yet the same minds deny the elderly in small apartments the choice of using a healthy incandescent bulb and force them to use bulbs that will make them ill—all in the name of saving the planet! And, as it turns out, these ‘energy saving bulbs’ actually do more harm to the planet than the incandescent bulb.

Used energy savers should not be put in your dustbin. Rather, used energy savers need to be carefully packed, to ensure they don’t break, and then taken to specialist hazardous waste recycling sites—failure to do this will result in mercury vapour spewing in to the lungs of any unfortunate persons coming into contact with your broken ‘energy saver’. your home you are recommended to open all windows (tough if you work in one of those offices with sealed windows), evacuate the room, and throw away all clothing, carpets and bedding etc. exposed to mercury vapour from the bulb. Such details have been deliberately left off the packaging of these toxic bulbs—yet governments feel the need to label cigarette packets containing cigarettes which do a lot less harm than the mercury, lead and arsenic poisoning that you are at risk from with ‘energy saving bulbs.’ and spread of light are similarly absent from information contained on the packaging— because incandescent bulbs outperform ‘energy savers’ at every level of safety and quality. Traditional incandescent bulbs are not toxic and as such can be disposed of in your dustbin without harming anyone. Similarly if you, or your child, break an be incandescent bulb the only harm likely to suffered is a possible cut—much less harm than a possible cut and cancer from a broken ‘energy saver’. new order, money is being extracted from people under regulations aimed at closing in down free choice and concentrating power the hands of the few.

It will be Germany lost Smiley shirts. Smiley-smiley.

The pain objectivity, morality on families in and suffering it is inflicting developing countries must no longer be tolerated.’ how government intervention, rather than real helping and protecting people, is causing physical harm to significant numbers of people from workers to consumers. Big government claims the ban is about saving are energy and saving the planet; both claims false. There is strong evidence that over their whole lifecycle, ‘energy saving bulbs’ use more energy and resources than incandescent bulbs. They also cause a great deal of harm to the environment as they rely the on the top three most polluting toxins on planet—mercury, lead, and arsenic. swindling and bullying the public from Westminster MPs stealing from the taxpayer —many getting away with simply giving the money back—to now bullying elderly ladies into using light bulbs that big government knows is making them ill. Big government has banned a perfectly safe, high quality product, sold at a low price; and is forcing people to use unsafe, highly toxic, highly expensive products in their own homes. As pensioners suffer, MPs continue to jet around the world and drive Jaguar cars paid for by the taxpayer—big government is evil.

However, this ‘energy saving’ claim based on the false assumption that all light bulbs produce and distribute the same type of light (they don’t), that ‘energy savers’ last their claimed life span (they don’t), and the huge costs of conveniently ignores of lead, mercury, mining and manufacturing a whole cocktail of and arsenic along with required to make other harmful toxins It also ignores the ‘energy savers’ work. required to make the energy and resources components ‘energy thirty plus electronic savers’ contain. around the fact that the environment dodge pressure from a coordinated attack by bulb manufacturers and powerful green groups. Big Government then set about taking millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money to subsidise bulb companies and various ‘greens’ to promote toxic ‘energy saving’ bulbs. government has broken new ground; for the first time big government has actually banned a safe product and is forcing people to use an unsafe product. Even more concerning, is that big government, before banning incandescent bulbs, was aware of the serious health risks associated with ‘energy savers’. There was also plenty of research prior to the ban showing that when all costs of manufacture and disposal are taken into account, energy saving bulbs did not even save energy and should be aptly named ‘energy wasting bulbs.’ route to the landfill].

In Sweden, which has established and well organised recycling practices and prides itself on being informed and spearheading environmental awareness, people are disposing of their Mercury CFL and arsenic LEDs in glass recycling bins, thus contaminating all the other glass for recycling.

For over 25 years, bulb companies tried, but failed, to persuade people to buy their expensive ‘energy saving bulbs’. Free markets had sent a clear message to manufacturers— people wanted incandescent bulbs, they did not want ‘energy saving bulbs.’ governments and bulb companies lobbied standards that even wrote the regulatory bulbs from would ban their incandescent bulbs was crucial sale.

Young children and the elderly who drop rubbish into a bin containing a broken CFL risk serious long term health problems. to LEDs refers to them as needing to be taken special collection points for ‘recycling’ under Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE). However, they are not actually fully recycled and used again. Rather they are classified as hazardous waste and require special energy intensive procedures to make them safe—‘recycling’ sounds so much nicer! And it is not just about taking ‘energy saving bulbs’ to special on hazardous waste sites; before embarking the journey, they need to be specially packaged so as to avoid breakage or leakage —they should not be just placed in any old bag or box. supposed to have high standards, most CFL and LED bulbs are just thrown in the bin and end up in landfills where they pose major environmental risks. Landfills become waste sites of major toxicity and ultimately leak these deadly poisons into the water stream and food chain, thus creating long term health problems. As Professor Hui points out, ‘Government departments like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have misleading arguments, like landfills are OK. In many countries, like Hong Kong, the garbage truck will compress the garbage [en When governments intervene in things, ‘Energy saving’ bulbs are the asbestos of Incandescent bulbs are safe, produce high Incandescent bulbs are LEDs are even more complex than CFLs, Energy saving bulbs do not distribute Claims that ‘energy saving’ bulbs last Introduction Energy Saving Lamps are Energy Saving Lamps are Energy Be Lamps and Should Wasting from Use Discouraged they often get things spectacularly wrong. they often get things spectacularly wrong. No more so than with the ban on incandescent light bulbs. In banning safe incandescent bulbs, Big Government is now bullying people into using toxic ‘energy saving bulbs’—in their own homes. the 21st Century. Just using an ‘energy saving tired, cause eye bulb’ can make you feel rashes and even skin strain, headaches, skin to a broken cancer.

Producing compact fluorescent bulbs, with all pre-fabrication steps for the control gears taken into consideration require considerably more energy to produce than a simple safe incandescent bulb. since they must include conversion to DC (direct current), and additionally a heat sink system since, as with CFLs and unlike with incandescent bulbs, the heat is internalized rather than radiated externally, and adversely affects performance and lifespan. their light in the same way as a standard incandescent bulbs, resulting in the reading an surface appearing effectively dimmer than incandescent with the same lumens. To produce the same effective light as an incandescent bulb, ‘energy saving’ bulbs need to generate about a third more lumens and thus use a third more energy. This is why, Dr Klaus Stanjek, after carrying out a detailed investigation into the resource implications of ‘energy saving’ bulbs concluded that, ‘Energy saving lamps are energy wasting lamps and should be discouraged from use.’ longer than incandescent bulbs are not true. The lifespan of a CFL bulb has been artificially measured under laboratory conditions. Studies have shown that in the real world, the lifespan of a CFL can be shortened by a massive 85% under normal domestic household use conditions. In other words, if the bulb lab lifespan was 6,000 Lord Taylor was not able to produce an Lord Taylor was not However it is the bullying, with a big Lord Taylor demonstrated in his reply denying free choice, the British Government choice, the British denying free arrogance, awarded first prizes in should be raised these and bullying.

There is no doubt that a growing number of people are ill under ‘energy saving lights.’ In dodging this point Lord Taylor manipulated the English language to making this knowingly harmful ban appear to be helping people by stating that the British government was, ‘working with patient groups, clinicians and the lighting industry to keep the health issues under review.’ Thank you Lord Taylor—but is it is the EU ban that you are enforcing that creating sick people; people who were perfectly well under incandescent bulbs; people that consume considerably less energy than you and your jet setting cronies in the House of Lords. that the Conservative Party, like the Labour and Liberal Party, does not respect free markets and free choice, and that big government, rather than protecting people, is knowingly causing physical harm to people with this ban. It is such arrogant, dismissive and misleading letters from Lord Taylor that underline the importance of the need to remove big government from the lives of as many people as possible. Whilst people suffer under toxic ‘energy saving bulbs,’ MPs who think it right to ban the bulb in the name of saving energy (itself a false claim) cheat on their expenses, drive highly polluting Jaguar cars, set up trust funds to avoid tax, and jet around the globe at the taxpayers expense.

Yet despite this awareness, the British government continues to promote these bulbs and in the next breath criticizes China’s human rights record. The following is an extract from what the Sunday Times had to say: environmental price is being paid for the production of “green” lightbulbs.. Large numbers of Chinese workers have been poisoned by mercury, which forms part of the compact fluorescent lightbulbs. …A If advertisements for bulb companies are Similarly Maine DEP tests found that Yet despite these guidelines, bulb Hayek laughed and said that he knew a bit He then noticed hanging on the wall of When he arrived we had a celebratory Roger decided that in the middle of the In addition, in total he kept no less than Hayek was in great form and he appeared There were complaints from high level “The Hayek visit was a co-operative telling you their ‘energy saving’ bulbs are safe, why the need to issue these guidelines?

Such claims need careful examination. All CFLs, whatever the label says, contain toxic mercury. As Professor Ron Hui points out: ‘The danger of mercury is measured by its toxicity.

The tungsten they use does not harm humans and the effects of tungsten on the environment are limited. You can sit close to one and suffer no harm, break one and you are not exposed to any poisonous toxins. In contrast, both LED and CFL lighting contain harmful toxins. If you have read the EPA instructions on what to do if a CFL breaks, who would want to eat in a restaurant in which a CFL was broken? How about working in an office with sealed windows (which cannot be opened to ‘air out’ the Hg vapors)? Would you like to work in a factory making ‘energy saving bulbs’? Are you foolish enough to use them in your home, particularly in your kid’s bedroom? big government assert that because CFLs a only contain a small quantity of mercury broken CFL cannot harm you. When a CFL is broken, mercury is released in its most toxic and deadly form—as an odourless vapour (very different than mercury in your fillings and thermometers). It also means that you do not immediately realise that you in have been poisoned. Mercury accumulates the body and attacks the vital organs—the brain, liver and kidneys—over a long and are prolonged period of time.

(now Sir Robert) Norman OBE of Cairns. “Social Justice Socialism and Democracy” featuring three of Hayek’s most important lectures on the tour.

Dr. John Hawk, from the St John's Institute of Dermatology, London, has similarly observed, ‘a significant number of people with certain skin disorders such as seborrhoeic eczema and lupus cannot tolerate any form of fluorescent lighting in their vicinity. [Such people] can only tolerate incandescent lighting from tungsten filament bulbs.’ the SCENIHR meeting on Compact Fluorescent Lamps, European Commission, Brussels, in October 2011. After the meeting, Dr Hawk wrote, ‘It seemed to me that the SCENIHR committee, the UK representatives and I were all of similar mind concerning the potentially adverse effects of the lamps. The lighting representatives (three lighting experts from Philips) tried to modify the overall opinion slightly towards suggesting less harm but were not hugely adamant. The overall feeling of the meeting was that the lamps had a number of potentially adverse effects, mostly for abnormally photosensitive subjects but also and somewhat for normal ones, on both skin eye. …SCENIHR committee members also suggested that the incandescent lamps may not be particularly more wasteful of energy than the new CFLs.’ CFLs. But, as Oladele Ogunseitan, Chair of CFLs.

Hayek made economist/social scientist F. A. Hayek made a month long lecture tour of Australia in October 1976. There is a bit of an inside story to this tour which so far few know a about. Hayek was invited to Australia for lecture tour by economist Mark Tier. However, Hayek, at that time, had to decline, but as circumstances changed and as he did not know anybody else in Australia, he wrote a note to Sydney Economist/Barrister Roger Randerson, whom he once tutored at The London School of Economics, saying that he could squeeze in a month before going on previously scheduled visits to New Zealand and Japan. me with the good news. I then suggested to Roger that he immediately write back to Hayek and ask what his fee would be. I can still quote the answer. Hayek replied saying: provided for my wife and myself both internationally and nationally, and first class accommodation be provided for us, and also providing that my lectures are confined to In 2011 Andreas Kirchner, Environmental Magda Havas, Associate Professor at Dr. David Carpenter believes it is likely Dr R. Sarkaney, FRCP MD St Thomas’ is confident that, Owen Z. Perlman, M.D., sensitivities that can lead to skin cancer.’ spokesman of the Federation of German Engineers, re-emphasized the mercury problems of CFLs and the electromagnetic radiation they produce: ‘Electrical smog develops around these lamps. They should not be used in unventilated areas and definitely not in the proximity of the head.’ Yet, even schools are using ‘energy savers’ in study lamps that are placed close to a child’s head. Trent University, Canada, similarly warns of the dangers of Electromagnetic Field (EMF) radiation from CFLs: ‘CFL’s produce a frequency range known to produce adverse effects on one’s health. Teachers who taught in classrooms [with such lighting] had a 5-fold increase risk of cancer (risk ratio 5.1) that was statistically significant. ...studies with diabetics and people who have multiple sclerosis found that when [such radiation] is reduced their symptoms diminish.’ that up to 30% of all childhood cancers come from exposure to EMFs. Professor Anthony Pinching, Associate Dean and Professor of of Clinical Immunology at Peninsula College Medicine & Dentistry, is aware of the consistency with which a proportion of CFS/ME patients report adverse experiences in settings lit with fluorescent lights, ‘fluorescent tubes have been most likely to cause problems. Note that we are not talking a about defective fluorescent tubes, but about of problem resulting from the characteristics the light emitted when they are functioning as intended.’ Hospital, London, believes that the reasons behind people feeling ill under CFL lighting are in part due to the ultraviolet light they emit and also because, ‘there are other differences between incandescent and as the ‘spikiness’ of fluorescent lights such light.

In contrast, ‘energy saving bulbs’ contain a cocktail of toxins, produce harmful radiation, produce a lumpy light spectrum, and imperceptibly flicker. The following diagram shows the smooth healthy spectrums of light produced by tungsten incandescent lights compared to the lumpy unhealthy light spectrum produced by LED and CFL lights. of a Rolls Royce of lighting.

Yet the same minds deny the elderly in small apartments the choice of using a healthy incandescent bulb and force them to use bulbs that will make them ill—all in the name of saving the planet! And, as it turns out, these ‘energy saving bulbs’ actually do more harm to the planet than the incandescent bulb. The top three pollutants to in the world that cause really serious harm humans and the environment are mercury, lead and arsenic—the three key toxins used in ‘energy saving bulbs’. putting image ahead of substance—an unfortunate symptom of the pro-European be Blairite political class which continues to self serving and rotten to the core.

This ban has left the poorest people on low and fixed incomes hardest hit. Many elderly very ill without the people are being made have grown up with incandescent light they a different type of (‘energy savers’ produce bulbs). Yet whilst the light to incandescent that banned the elderly suffer, the politicians the globe and bulb continue to jet across paid for by the drive Jaguar motor cars to see the taxpayer.

Used energy savers should not be put in your dustbin. Rather, used energy savers need to be carefully packed, to ensure they don’t break, and then taken to specialist hazardous waste recycling sites—failure to do this will result in mercury vapour spewing in to the lungs of any unfortunate persons coming into contact with your broken ‘energy saver’. your home you are recommended to open all windows (tough if you work in one of those offices with sealed windows), evacuate the room, and throw away all clothing, carpets and bedding etc. exposed to mercury vapour from the bulb. Such details have been deliberately left off the packaging of these toxic bulbs—yet governments feel the need to label cigarette packets containing cigarettes which do a lot less harm than the mercury, lead and arsenic poisoning that you are at risk from with ‘energy saving bulbs.’ and spread of light are similarly absent from information contained on the packaging— because incandescent bulbs outperform ‘energy savers’ at every level of safety and quality. Traditional incandescent bulbs are not toxic and as such can be disposed of in your dustbin without harming anyone. Similarly if you, or your child, break an be incandescent bulb the only harm likely to suffered is a possible cut—much less harm than a possible cut and cancer from a broken ‘energy saver’. new order, money is being extracted from people under regulations aimed at closing in down free choice and concentrating power the hands of the few. Goldberg refers to this ‘new order’ in the following way, ‘When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with Nike sneakers and jack-boots. It will be Germany lost Smiley shirts. Smiley-smiley. Fascism won it.’ the Second World War. your safe and your home, removed incandescent bulbs inexpensive high quality buy expensive, low and is forcing you to bulbs—ones that can quality, CFL and LED you actually believe harm you. Worse still, provide the same that these CFL and LEDs how government intervention, rather than how government intervention, rather than real helping and protecting people, is causing physical harm to significant numbers of people from workers to consumers. Big government claims the ban is about saving are energy and saving the planet; both claims false. There is strong evidence that over their whole lifecycle, ‘energy saving bulbs’ use more energy and resources than incandescent bulbs. They also cause a great deal of harm to the environment as they rely the on the top three most polluting toxins on planet—mercury, lead, and arsenic. swindling and bullying the public from Westminster MPs stealing from the taxpayer —many getting away with simply giving the money back—to now bullying elderly ladies into using light bulbs that big government knows is making them ill. Big government has banned a perfectly safe, high quality product, sold at a low price; and is forcing people to use unsafe, highly toxic, highly expensive products in their own homes. As pensioners suffer, MPs continue to jet around the world and drive Jaguar cars paid for by the taxpayer—big government is evil. have been protesting at people driving Jaguar protesting at people have been bulbs private jets, and promoting cars, taking in the name of profit— that poison workers supporting these guys. now green groups are have green groups been It begs the question, office to promote taken over by EU central It certainly seems EU law across the globe?

Rather, they are making money through government bailouts, subsidies, and regulations mandating their products—a form of champagne socialism. In making these regulations palatable and even attractive, bulb companies and green activists have successfully manipulated language to hide the toxic side of their operations. (CFLs) and toxic lead and arsenic Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), are referred to as ‘energy saving’ or ‘green’ bulbs by a lazy media and politicians desperate to appear is green. However, this ‘energy saving’ claim based on the false assumption that all light bulbs produce and distribute the same type of light (they don’t), that ‘energy savers’ last their claimed life span (they don’t), and the huge costs of conveniently ignores of lead, mercury, mining and manufacturing a whole cocktail of and arsenic along with required to make other harmful toxins It also ignores the ‘energy savers’ work. required to make the energy and resources components ‘energy thirty plus electronic savers’ contain. around the fact that the environment dodge pressure from a coordinated attack by bulb manufacturers and powerful green groups. Big Government then set about taking millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money to subsidise bulb companies and various ‘greens’ to promote toxic ‘energy saving’ bulbs. government has broken new ground; for the first time big government has actually banned a safe product and is forcing people to use an unsafe product. Even more concerning, is that big government, before banning incandescent bulbs, was aware of the serious health risks associated with ‘energy savers’. There was also plenty of research prior to the ban showing that when all costs of manufacture and disposal are taken into account, energy saving bulbs did not even save energy and should be aptly named ‘energy wasting bulbs.’ route to the landfill].

In Sweden, which has established and well organised recycling practices and prides itself on being informed and spearheading environmental awareness, people are disposing of their Mercury CFL and arsenic LEDs in glass recycling bins, thus contaminating all the other glass for recycling.

For over 25 years, bulb companies tried, but failed, to persuade people to buy their expensive ‘energy saving bulbs’. Free markets had sent a clear message to manufacturers— people wanted incandescent bulbs, they did not want ‘energy saving bulbs.’ governments and bulb companies lobbied standards that even wrote the regulatory bulbs from would ban their incandescent bulbs was crucial sale.

Young children and the elderly who drop rubbish into a bin containing a broken CFL risk serious long term health problems. to LEDs refers to them as needing to be taken special collection points for ‘recycling’ under Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE). However, they are not actually fully recycled and used again. Rather they are classified as hazardous waste and require special energy intensive procedures to make them safe—‘recycling’ sounds so much nicer! And it is not just about taking ‘energy saving bulbs’ to special on hazardous waste sites; before embarking the journey, they need to be specially packaged so as to avoid breakage or leakage —they should not be just placed in any old bag or box. supposed to have high standards, most CFL and LED bulbs are just thrown in the bin and end up in landfills where they pose major environmental risks. Landfills become waste sites of major toxicity and ultimately leak these deadly poisons into the water stream and food chain, thus creating long term health problems. As Professor Hui points out, ‘Government departments like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have misleading arguments, like landfills are OK. In many countries, like Hong Kong, the garbage truck will compress the garbage [en When governments intervene in things, ‘Energy saving’ bulbs are the asbestos of Incandescent bulbs are safe, produce high Incandescent bulbs are LEDs are even more complex than CFLs, Energy saving bulbs do not distribute Claims that ‘energy saving’ bulbs last Introduction Energy Saving Lamps are Energy Saving Lamps are Energy Be Lamps and Should Wasting from Use Discouraged they often get things spectacularly wrong. they often get things spectacularly wrong. No more so than with the ban on incandescent light bulbs. In banning safe incandescent bulbs, Big Government is now bullying people into using toxic ‘energy saving bulbs’—in their own homes. the 21st Century. Just using an ‘energy saving tired, cause eye bulb’ can make you feel rashes and even skin strain, headaches, skin to a broken cancer.

Producing compact fluorescent bulbs, with all pre-fabrication steps for the control gears taken into consideration require considerably more energy to produce than a simple safe incandescent bulb. since they must include conversion to DC (direct current), and additionally a heat sink system since, as with CFLs and unlike with incandescent bulbs, the heat is internalized rather than radiated externally, and adversely affects performance and lifespan. their light in the same way as a standard incandescent bulbs, resulting in the reading an surface appearing effectively dimmer than incandescent with the same lumens. To produce the same effective light as an incandescent bulb, ‘energy saving’ bulbs need to generate about a third more lumens and thus use a third more energy. This is why, Dr Klaus Stanjek, after carrying out a detailed investigation into the resource implications of ‘energy saving’ bulbs concluded that, ‘Energy saving lamps are energy wasting lamps and should be discouraged from use.’ longer than incandescent bulbs are not true. The lifespan of a CFL bulb has been artificially measured under laboratory conditions. Studies have shown that in the real world, the lifespan of a CFL can be shortened by a massive 85% under normal domestic household use conditions. In other words, if the bulb lab lifespan was 6,000 Lord Taylor was not able to produce an Lord Taylor was not However it is the bullying, with a big Lord Taylor demonstrated in his reply denying free choice, the British Government choice, the British denying free arrogance, awarded first prizes in should be raised these and bullying.

There is no doubt that a growing number of people are ill under ‘energy saving lights.’ In dodging this point Lord Taylor manipulated the English language to making this knowingly harmful ban appear to be helping people by stating that the British government was, ‘working with patient groups, clinicians and the lighting industry to keep the health issues under review.’ Thank you Lord Taylor—but is it is the EU ban that you are enforcing that creating sick people; people who were perfectly well under incandescent bulbs; people that consume considerably less energy than you and your jet setting cronies in the House of Lords. that the Conservative Party, like the Labour and Liberal Party, does not respect free markets and free choice, and that big government, rather than protecting people, is knowingly causing physical harm to people with this ban. It is such arrogant, dismissive and misleading letters from Lord Taylor that underline the importance of the need to remove big government from the lives of as many people as possible. Whilst people suffer under toxic ‘energy saving bulbs,’ MPs who think it right to ban the bulb in the name of saving energy (itself a false claim) cheat on their expenses, drive highly polluting Jaguar cars, set up trust funds to avoid tax, and jet around the globe at the taxpayers expense.

Yet despite this awareness, the British government continues to promote these bulbs and in the next breath criticizes China’s human rights record. The following is an extract from what the Sunday Times had to say: environmental price is being paid for the production of “green” lightbulbs.. Large numbers of Chinese workers have been poisoned by mercury, which forms part of the compact fluorescent lightbulbs. …A Yet despite these guidelines, bulb Similarly Maine DEP tests found that If advertisements for bulb companies are “The Hayek visit was a co-operative There were complaints from high level Hayek was in great form and he appeared In addition, in total he kept no less than Roger decided that in the middle of the When he arrived we had a celebratory He then noticed hanging on the wall of Hayek laughed and said that he knew a bit because mercury fragments in the clothing because mercury fragments in the clothing may contaminate the machine and/or pollute sewage.’ companies are still putting out adverts telling you that CFL’s only contain a small amount of mercury, or try to mislead you into thinking that their CFL does not contain mercury. Such claims need careful examination. All CFLs, whatever the label says, contain toxic mercury. As Professor Ron Hui points out: ‘The danger of mercury is measured by its toxicity. Each CFL is a toxic chemical hazard with toxicity thousands times higher than the safety limit. Most of the electronic components and toxic chemicals such as carcinogenic flame-retardant coatings PBDE cannot be recycled.’ from just one broken CFL: ‘Mercury concentration in the study room air often exceeds the Maine Ambient Air Guideline has particular significance for children rolling around on a floor, babies crawling, or non mobile infants placed on the floor.’ telling you their ‘energy saving’ bulbs are safe, why the need to issue these guidelines? The answer of course is that ‘energy saving’ bulbs are not safe—and the bulb companies know it. Governments across the globe committed to banning incandescent bulbs without doing their homework; so they now to be nameless.
