EarthTalk: LED Light Bulbs More Efficient Than CFL's? Dear EarthTalk: What’s the story with LED light bulbs that are reputed to be even more energy-efficient than compact fluorescents? Perhaps the ultimate “alternative to the alternative,” the LED (light-emitting diode) light bulb may well dethrone the compact fluorescent (CFL) as king of the green lighting choices. But it has...- Antique Lighting Antiques -> Decorative Arts -> Lamps Whether you are trying to restore an older home and would like to keep it in the period style, or you just appreciate older light fixtures, antique lighting has much to offer.

How To Pick the Best Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb There's something about compact fluorescent (or CFL) bulbs and the light they put out.

There are two ways to...

Rise of the LED Light Bulb While an LED light bulb such as the Evolux incandescent replacement is initially expensive, it is far less so than using incandescent bulbs over the medium to long term. They even beat CFL bulbs. This article shows you the math.- Aquarium Lighting - What Are Your Options? Water quality (in which I include water movement) is top of the list in importance when it comes to keeping a saltwater aquarium. Closely following water quality is lighting, as much life on the reef depends on it. The lighting used for a reef aquarium is more intense than on any other type. The reason for this is that we are trying to simulate the sun as far as humanly possible. The lighting used on the reef aquarium is normally more towards the blue end of the colour spectrum as we are trying to produce the lighting colours present at between 10m and 30m in water depth.

- How Do You Transport Aquarium Fish? Obtaining fish from the LFS (local fish shop) is really exciting.
