New Toshiba Lightbulb Lasts 12,000 Hours Only Uses 10 Watts (Awesome)
Toshiba has developed what they are calling the “Neoball-Z Real Pride” which I have to admit is about the most radical name for a lightbulb (ever).
The Neoball has a rated life that is 1.2 times longer than that of the existing cfl’s (10,000 hours), and whoops incandescent bulbs which only last a pathetic 120 hours. The new lamp comes in three colors, warm white, day white and daylight. Not only does it last WAY longer than normal (or even CFL) light bulbs it only uses a meager 10 watts (most “normal” bulbs use 60W).
Contaminate Water
| dlerious | Apr 14th, 2008Are these like the other low-wattage, energy-saver bulbs that have enough mercury in them to contaminate 6,000 gallons of water if you happen to break one? Are you required to spend $5,000 like one familiy in California was, to call out a HAZMAT team to clean up a broken one?
