a. Incandescent Light Info



Incandescent light is a natural, warm-white, fire-based light, just like the light we humans have evolved with since we discovered fire. A mini hearth or candle in a glass bulb, only brighter and safely contained.  


+ Healthy full-spectrum, which reproduces all colours accurately, just like sunlight.


+ Good contrast and visual clarity.

+
 Full brightness instantly.


All incandescent lamps are dimmable and compatible with timers and sensors.

+ Dims beautifully and gets more candle-like when dimmed, just like all fire-based, natural light sources.

+ A steady and relaxing glow, minimal flicker.

+ Safe for children, animals and seniors. Usually best tolerated of all lamp types for people with migraine, epilepsy, vertigo, autism, ADHD, dyslexia and light sensitive eye- or skin conditions.

+ Preferred by many artists, designers, photographers and lighting designers for the superior light quality and beautiful glow.

- Standard lamps have fairly short life by intentional design, but can be made to last up to 20 000 hours.

- May be sensitive to vibrations and power spikes (except Rough Service bulbs).

Incandescent Lightbulb Models





Note: 

• Bases may vary between countries.

• Some of these models may no longer be available:

* Frosted general service incandescent and halogen lamps were banned in the EU from September 2009, and the last clear incandescent lamps were banned September 2012. In many other countries, standard incandescent lamps are either banned or about to be phased out. Some incandescent reflector lamps will be banned in EU from September 2013.

* Small, special and decorative lamps, e.g. crown, carbon filament, tubular, pygmycoloured, high heat resistantIR, UV and Rough Service bulbs are often exempt from bans and still available. 

• Incandescent bulbs contain no mercury but should be recycled so that the glass and aluminium or brass base may be re-used. Lamps outside EU or made before 2006 in EU may contain some lead solder.

• Do not throw in glass recycling bins!
