Recently, the Brithis Ministry of Health has stated that the use of energy-saving lamps can cause health problems such as eczema and skin conditions or even migraines. Such lamps called energy-saving lamps contain mercury, a highly toxic heavy, silvery-white metal. It has serious health consequences and problems that can include tremors, changes in vision and hearing, insomnia, weakness, difficulty with memory, headache, irritability, shyness and nervousness, as well as a health condition called acrodynia. Pregnant wonem and their fetuses are especially vulnerable to the toxic effects of mercury. To the people with photosensitive skin as well can cause eczema and other skin conditions due to the UV radiation they generate.
Some basic rules in case of breakage of such lamps are:
- Evacuate the people who are in the room and let it air out for at least 15 minutes.
- Never use a vacuum cleaner. It can cause mercury to vaporize into the air, creating greater health risks. It aso ruins the vacuum cleaner.
- We recommend the use of gloves to colect the remains of the lamp, and as a toxic product, it shoud be transferred in a properly sealed bag or two, to a clean point in the municipality where it can be recycled.
Here are some disadvantages associated with the use of this type of lighting:
- Slow. They are not optimal for step sites that turn on and off frequently.
- It breaks easily especially if you turn on and off a lot.
- The mechaninsm that generates the power stroke consumes a significant amount of electrical energy.
- They are sensitive to operating temperature. If they get into a closed ceiling last much less.
- The quality of light is bad, more tiring to the eye.
- Not suitable for concentrating a lot of light at a particular point.
- Emits harmful ultraviolet radiation.
- They are highly polluting and dangerous to the environment (containing between 2.5 mg and 8 mg of mercury per lamp, among other agents not advisable).
Goodwork International presents the real alternative to any type of incandescent or conventional energy-saving lighting. Listed below are some of the advantages and important features of high power LED lighting:
