Facing the Change of Times 時代の変革期
130 years after Thomas Edison's epoch-making invention of the light bulb, I heard that the incandescent light will disappear in very near future.
I personally love the warmth of the color of incandescent bulbs, and it makes me feel secured… however, it became one of the worst factors of gloval warming because of its white heat and much energy consumption. Also it is said to be inconvinient because of its short-lifeness. So incondescent light is giving its place to LED light and fluorescent light.
While I knew we need to make changes for the conservation, I wonder if we can feel the same warmth from the cold color of LED light. Anyhow, we are replacing the bulbs in our shop with fluorescent bulbs. And we already noticed that the room temperature has dropped.
For the future generation, I think only we can do is to keep at it, little by little.
エジソンが電球を実用化して約130年、時代は変わりいよいよ白熱灯は無くなるとのこと。
温かみがあり部屋の雰囲気が良くなり私は大好きだったのですが・・・。
大量の熱を放射し、寿命が短く、効率が悪く、地球温暖化の要因に挙げられていますね。
代わりに蛍光灯やLEDに替わってゆくようです。
あの温かみがだせるのかな～？なんて思いながらも、将来のことを考えれば変革も必要なのでしょうね。
ささやかなことですが、お店で使用するバルブも電球型蛍光灯バルブに変更しています。確かに室内の温度は以前より下がりました。
