Yet there were sales from Asia selling them has &#8220;hand-warming oven&#8221;. Now Halogen lightbulbs will face the same fate. Everything is directing to energy-saving lightbulbs where they are represented by either flourescent energy saving bulbs or the now upcoming LED lamps which are even less power-consuming than flourescent energy saving bulbs.<\/p>\n<p>But were ESFL already frowned upon for their rather cool and slowly-brightening light, LED lamps also have the problem of spreading cool light. Only with tricks, they can produce a more warm light. Where ESFL have the problem that they may contain mercury, the LED lamps do not have any poisonous or dangerous materials in them.<\/p>\n<p>LED lamps also have the advantage. that they can be dimmed (but you have to look for the &#8220;Dimmable&#8221; sign!)<\/p>\n<p>So another step into the right direction when it comes to energy saving and thus taking care for our climate?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the EU Halogen bulbs of the Efficiency class D and worse will be banned from production and sale from September 1st this year.
