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…)

Half of all heat enters your home through the windows. Using a
thick shade or window film, especially over the west facing windows can
save up to 15 percent on your cooling bill. OR shade those windows from
the outside by planting trees or installing window awnings. Another way
is using solar screens on the outside of the windows. (more…)
