Your Home and Electricity

Everything around us are made up of atoms. The smallest part of an atom, electrons have a constant movement which creates a current of electricity. Scientists and Engineers, over time have found many ways to generate large amounts of electricity that we use to light up homes and power household appliances.

Sri Lanka gets its electricity supply mainly from thermal (non-renewable sources such as fossil fuel), hydropower and biomass (both which are renewable) sources which produces local electricity. All power stations in the country are inter-connected and distributed to households in a mesh like manner which is called the national grid. Electricity consumption is measured in Kilowatt hours (kWh). The simple rule is higher the wattage higher the electricity bill.

CFL úÿ,s nqnq¿

Thomas Edison created the first commercial incandescent bulb in 1879. Incandescent bulbs of today provide high quality light; however it is inefficient as it consumes higher electricity.

Incandescent Bulbs

CFL bulbs last up to 10 times longer and consumes 80% less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. CFLs are higher in energy savings. However CFL brands that don’t conform to National/International standards pose environment and health threats because of its mercury content and UV radiation.

Compact Florescent Light (CFL) Bulb

LED bulbs represent the future of lighting. It is an evolution towards green lighting because it does not use mercury. LED has the highest lifespan in a light bulb.

Light up with Less

Switching to energy-efficient lighting is one of the fastest ways to cut your electricity bill. You have many choices in energy-efficient lighting apart from incandescent bulbs. CFL and LED bulbs will initially cost more, but over their lifetime they save you money because they use less electricity.

Purchase CFL bulbs that conform to Independent National/International standards as UV emissions from CFLs could adversely affect sensitive individuals with epilepsy, migraine headaches, eye diseases, and skin diseases. LED technology has advanced at a rapid pace over the past decade. ENERGY STAR graded LEDs and CFLs use 80% less energy and last upto 40 times longer than traditional bulbs, thus eliminating maintenance and replacement required by normal lighting.

CFLs create UV radiation within the bulb which is then converted into light. UV radiation can cause health hazards if it passes through the bulb surface without turning into visible light.

The Permitted Exposure Time (PET) a person could sit under a Fluorescent Lamp is 8 hours without any adverse e�ects.

All CFLs use Mercury (2.3mg to 5.0mg) to create the atom reaction inside the lamp to generate light.

CFLs could interfere with other electronic equipment - electromagnetic interference (EMI) which a�ects other electronic equipment.

The safety performance standards of CFL bulbs should be tested and proven by an independent testing authority.

CFL bulbs gives 80% energy saving

Philips CFLs have built in 2 UV blocks to prevent UV seepage, so there is no adverse e�ects on health:1. The UV protection is through the extra small grain size of the phosphor coating that prevents seepage of UV without turning into light.2. In addition Cerium is used on the glass to absorb UV, making Philips CFLs a safer bulb.

Philips CFLs has a standard of 24 hours PET which is 3 times more than the industry level. (IEC 335-2-27)

Philips uses 60% less mercury than the internationally permitted value to reduce the e�ect on Environment and health.

All Philips Compact Fluorescent Products are well within the CISPR15 limits and has no negative a�ects on electronic equipment and on health

Philips CFL bulbs are nationally tested by 1. SLSI and awarded the star rating2. Internationally conform to: ICNIRP/IEC 335-2-27/CIE S009/PET and endorsed by as an environmentally safer product.

Philips CFL bulbs use ’Bright Boosting’ technology which enables a brighter light with less wattage. Therefore most Philips CFLs save more energy than declared on the label.

Philips CFL bulbs are designed to last 8000 hours (4years) and gives consistent light output.
