4 Times As Efficient and Lasts Over 20 Times Longer
Sometimes called the electronic light bulb, the induction lamp offers high efficiency and a very long life because it operates without an electrode nor a filament. At the center of the lamp is the induction coil powered by an electronic unit at the base of the lamp. This coil produces a magnetic field in the lamp that ultimately produces light. This coil is sometimes referred to as an energy-coupling antenna. Since the induction lamp has no filament to burn out, so the lamp does not fail catastrophically as do incandescent bulbs. As the phosphors in the glass housing age, the induction lamp simply dims. (more…)

New Year’s Resolution!
Just thought I’d share
my New Year’s resolutions
with you…
I will respond to all e-mail
(except chain letters)
in a timely manner.
I will learn to cook something
both low-fat AND delicious.
I will cease and desist
any and all bad habits
for an entire year.
(or at least until January 2nd)
I will do laundry on a regular basis
before it becomes
a possible fire hazard.
I will pick one place
to put my keys and the remote
so that I don’t spend half my life
running around like an idiot,
looking for them.
I will seek true enlightenment
and the meaning of life.
(while occasionally
remembering to floss.)
And my #1 resolution
is to always appreciate
great people like you.
