Thoughts on CFL bulbs

[shantikami]

It was mentioned earlier that CFL bulbs produce poor light. It's so true.

However, I wonder if anyone else has noticed that these bulbs also cast distinctly orange light. I have one of those pathetic bulbs on, and my room is ...tainted with an ugly shade of orange. My blue drawing, which should be glowing bright blue, looks muddy, reds and pinks run together in a dispirited mess, and whites look like pastel orange. It's just a downer to be in here. And I feel easily confused, suffering from poor concentration.

So, curious about the effect of being exposed to a color for prolonged periods of time, I looked up information.

Turns out that too much orange can lead to tiredness, irritability, pessimism and confusion, as well as an increased appetite, and can effect the nerves. So, it screws with your emotions and body.

How many of us undergo prolonged exposure to these orange-glaring CFL lights? Especially anyone who works later in the day? How many of us have been effected by them, and had no idea why we are cranky, confused, and sure we can't follow through with our goals, meditations and dreams, because they are just too hard??

I just wanted to bring this up, because there have been quite a few messages about people not feeling they can make it as Spiritual Satanists, lately. I wonder how much of this dispiritedness is fed by the near-constant exposure to this ghastly orange color? I wonder if the people who push these bulbs on us are aware of the effects of these bulbs?

Has anyone else noticed this? Thoughts, questions, comments, corrections?

with eternal love & devotion to Satan, our Father
with eternal honor & respect to our gods and goddesses
with friendship to my sister/fellow Spiritual Satanists?

I have first hand experience with these kike bulbs. First, I will say that the spectrum is wretched. You get a spike in the blue region, not good. It spikes in the green, yellow, orange, and red. The spectrum is 5 or 6 sharp spikes through the visible spectrum. The LEDs I got have a spike (a broader one) in the blue, and a curve in the yellow that extends to the mid-red (infrared is its weakness). Superior in spectrum--this isolated blue of the kike bulb is bad for your health.
The energy usage is another matter. I replaced 26-watt kike bulbs with LEDs rated at 13 watts, and noticed a roughly 55 watt per bulb drop. Now, the kike bulbs did not get unduly hot, so energy has to be doing some work. What work? Are those ballasts programmed to fuck with your brain? OR YOUR DNA?  Do those kikes that designed those pieces of shit really think they can get more kikes by fucking with DNA?  For the missing 42 watts, I have to question this.  At best, it is a complete waste of electricity.
Quality control is another matter.  All kike bulbs have holes in the phosphor, meaning leaking UV-C.  Unlike the UV-A and UV-B from the sun, UV-C is never normal.  People can get nasty burns from those kike bulbs, in only a few minutes, because of this.  They also have "fusible resistors" designed to kill the bulb at the end of its life, which sometimes fail.  They often smoke and hiss at the end of their lives, releasing toxic fumes into the air.  Every once in a while, one can flame out--nice way to burn your house down.  I don't think anyone wants THAT kind of light.
They also need to warm up.  When you first turn on a kike bulb, even an "instant on" one, it starts out dim.  You are only getting half, if that, of the lux from a kike bulb when first turned on.  After a few minutes, it gradually reaches full brightness.  Fine if you work nights and need a light that gradually comes up.  Not fine if you simply want to light up the place for a minute or less.  And don't even think of running those super energy wasters in cold conditions--they run poorly in winter even indoors if the apartment temperature drops below 16 C.  I frequently let the temperature drop to 13 C, which helps for humidity issues.  LEDs work fine in low temperatures.
If you break a kike bulb, you release mercury.  No, not enough to call the haz-mat team.  But, you need to open windows and blow the mercury out, and get the big pieces off the floor with tape.  Yes, you might get a few picograms of mercury on your clothing.  However, it's the phosphor you need to worry about.  Get cut on the glass of a broken kike bulb, you are going to the hospital.  They also need to be disposed of properly, which is a hassle.  Bust them in the car, it's worse than in your home.
And yes, there are better options--at least for now.  Your incandescent bulbs are gone, thanks to the kikes.  However, until 2020, you can buy halogen incandescent bulbs that use 28% less energy than regular.  Those run at a color temperature at 3500 K, a bit whiter than a standard incandescent.  They can be dimmed as a regular incandescent.  They do not last very long, however.
LEDs are available, at least until the kikes decide to get those banned too.  I got enough so I would have to live past age 130 to outlast my supply, and they are even more efficient than kike bulbs.  Their spectrum is broader than kike bulbs, but not quite as good as incandescent or sunlight (the ultimate).  No UV of any kind.  They come on instantly, or with a second delay, at full blast.  You can get them in color temperatures from 2700 (standard incandescent) to 5000 (which is a bit yellower than daylight, but not much).  To get them in 6500 (true daylight), you need to get the cheaper Chinese bulbs which sacrifice quality for color temperature.
Or, if you were smart, you could have stockpiled incandescent bulbs.  You can still sell and use them, but it is illegal to make them or import them (some countries, however, do have total bans on incandescent light bulbs).  Bulbs 25 watts or smaller are not affected.  The 150 and 200 watt bulbs are still around, but if sales go up, they too will be banned.  Rough service bulbs are around that are designed to run at 130 V (they will work at 120 V but less efficiently, the light will be redder, and they will last longer).  Again, if sales of those go up too much, kikes will ban those, too.
As for those kike bulbs, I do not trust those goddamn things.  They were better in the early days, even though they were greener in light color, they took 2 seconds to come on, and they were bigger.  But they used magnetic ballasts, rather than electronic that can be programmed to do who knows what (besides ruining your electronics and your brain).  They emit a harsh glare in lieu of light, and I do not recommend those fire starters.  Safety is questionable at best, they disrupt sleep more than even a daylight bulb, they flicker in many cases, they do not save anything if it is cold, you cannot turn them on and off without ruining the bulb (LEDs can be turned on and off without harm), and they emit cancer causing chemicals.  And, get the wrong one, you could even win the jackpot--burning down your house.

Wow. Much worse than I thought. I am going to have to replace the ugly thing, asap. Thank you for sharing!

Seems every time I research the damn things, they turn out even worse. Besides that there is RF interference (and I do not trust them--42 watts is a lot to do shit with), the spectrum is horrible. And, if they are turned on and you are having trouble meditating, that is yet another strike against them.
And there is no need to have kike bulbs in the first place. I got LEDs exclusively. Their spectrum is far superior to kike bulbs. I got the "daylight" versions--5000 K (which still has some yellow but not as much as the 2700). If you want that incandescent look, stick with the 2700. CREE has some nice bulbs that replace 40 watts (at 2700), 60 (at 2700 and 5000), and new 75 (at 2700). Ecosmart has flying saucer bulbs (the LEDs are arranged near the equator to produce a flying saucer appearance) in the 60 and 75 watt equivalent. SunSun, a Chinese company, offers cheap snow cones that run at 2700 and 5000 K and use 10 watts for a 60 watt equivalent. I also have numerous other LEDs that are both snow cones (recommended for recessed fixtures and fixtures along walls or ceilings) and omnidirectional (more for lamps and chandeliers).
I also use Christmas LEDs a lot. Those come in warm and cool white, as well as a lot of colors that are appealing. I use the multicolor sets. These are not meant for task lighting, but I find you can get around with their light. One string uses about 4.8 watts. They are also nice to run light into places where only a little is needed but it is difficult to run regular lights into.
Some advantages of LED:
Efficiency. The CREE uses less than 10 watts for 850 lumens of light. Most LEDs use between 10 and 12 watts for a 60-watt replacement. And that is honest. Kike bulbs tend to use 15 watts, and have a power factor of 0.5. That wastes power. And that doesn't include the 40-something watts not accounted for.
Ability to turn them off and on. I often turn my LEDs off if I am going to be out of the room for even a second. This does not harm them at all. Try THAT with a kike bulb--you will ruin them.
Dimmable.  Many LEDs are dimmable.  Kike bulbs that are dimmable dim poorly.  They tend to throw a hissy fit when dimmed, even burning down your house.  LEDs will dim much lower, but not quite to zero as with incandescent and halogen.  They will cut out totally when they reach their minimum, instead of burning down your house.
Cold weather.  My apartment often gets down to 13 degrees C, which is hard on kike bulbs.  Starting a kike bulb below 20 C is difficult, and even if they will start down to -10, they struggle.  LEDs start without complaining.  I replaced the 40 watt incandescent bulb in my refrigerator with a 7 watt LED and it works perfectly.  In fact, they are even more efficient at temperatures below 20 C.  Just don't think of running them in the oven--or a kike bulb, for that matter.
Ruggedness.  Dropping a LED is most likely to result in noise, and maybe a scratch in the floor--but the bulb works.  The worst is that it will ruin the bulb.  No glass (the phosphor is dangerous if you get cut on it) in a million pieces.  No mercury to worry about.  And the LEDs are able to do rough service duty.  Try THAT with a kike bulb.
If you are having trouble meditating after you just changed from incandescent to kike bulbs (the squiggly things), change them back and see if this trouble goes away.  It could be the enemy--or it could be simply your bulb is preventing you from getting results.  Or, switch to LED and see if that improves things.  It should.  If not, it could also be the smart meter they installed outside--those are one of the few devices that are as bad as kike bulbs.
