At least you bought them, not left cartfuls sitting around like the OWS donkeys did in a stunt the other day.
EMP as in electro magnetic pulse? Has this been developed as a common light source yet?
A nation on LED lighting would be in the dark after an EMP attack, even with backup or hardened generation and distribution capacity. Tungsten filaments are unaffected by EMP.
We recently spent a week at Disney World. While sitting on the bed under a CFL light fixture, I was amazed at the amount of HEAT thrown off by that CFL! Which makes me wonder; since it requires ENERGY to produce HEAT; just how much MORE efficient ARE those CFLs....TRULY? When the COST of the CFL is considered; how much $$$ is REALLY saved by using them...not to even mention the ENVIRONMENTAL dangers they pose! Has it actually been tested, or is this just another scam that the US of A has swallowed, hook-line-and-sinker, without even verifying it first? That’s how we bought the AGW bullcrap story.....if we’re honest enough to admit it!
As usual, unconstitutional legislation is met with lots of whining giving way to abject compliance.
I bought 32 more 100 watts at Kroger on my latest beer run...
According to the U.S. EMP Commission, safeguards can be taken.... but our military doesn’t even bother any more. Thanks for the heads up.
If an led devise is turned off can it still be damaged?
Tungsten filaments are unaffected by EMP.
