And every time you trot that out ridiculous accusation of being a "purveyor of mercury" against anyone who isn't 100% in line with your beliefs, you damage your own credibility.
You've accused me of being a liberal. I have been on this site since 1998, you have been here a couple of months. Liberals don't last long here. Neither do trolls.
Why are you even here? You'd be more effective by starting a blog where you can advance your cause without having to deal with annoying people who challenge you on points of fact.
YOU are the one who raised the issue of RF emissions from CFL bulbs. YOU made the following statement:
They give off radio frequencies. They operate at 35000 hz. They destroy nearby electronics
Then YOU challenged me with this:
Plug in something expensive and sensitive to harmonics exit (sic) to one and see what happens. I dare you
That's simply a load of crap. If you are really a "power quality engineer" as you stated, you would know that.
What engineering degrees do you hold?
But why do I even bother asking, I don't think you've answered a single question I've asked in this entire discussion. I KNOW you won't answer that one.
The video you linked to suggested that the RF emissions from CFL bulbs is a health issue. If that's true, then virtually every other modern electronic device has that same issue, because they all emit RF energy. And the video I posted, which I'm sure you didn't watch, demonstrated that the particular LED bulb they used was worse than their sample CFL in this regard.
And now you're saying that the issue YOU raised is irrelevant.
OK. Whatever.
You say the LEDs for home use don't have ballasts. In fact each one of them contains a miniature switching mode power supply that is needed to convert the 120 VAC 60 Hz to the low DC voltage that the individual LED devices require. They perform a function that is analogous to that of the electronic ballast in a CFL bulb.
Like those ballasts, these power supplies also produce RF emissions, and they also have the potential for catastrophic failure which in rare cases can result in fires.
Are you aware that there is increasing concern that the spectral characteristics of LED lighting is causing sleep disorders for a lot of people?
Are you aware that Philips and GE make and sell LED replacement bulbs? Maybe YOU are the one who is shilling for those companies.
