New Heating Device

In some countries, regular incandescent light bulbs have been banned. Some entrepreneurs there have come up with another option than putting a CFL in a lamp, though. Their idea is a heating source that fits in a regular light bulb socket: The Heatball. It’s very efficient as 95% of the energy it uses gets converted to heat (with 5% wasted as light). What a neat idea: Cheap, efficient heating for everyone. Liberals should be all over this.

  1. If you buy one the nice quality ones they are great. My TV setup with with a 40Watt receiver, 170Watt TV, 150W TVPC, 4x150Watt litebulbs . 360+600=960Watts constantly add in 2 adults was like a minioven which made TV watching miserable about 6 months a year. Swapping the 150W litebulbs for the 25W nearly equivalent basically cut it in half to about 450W total. Without having to get a smaller TV or anything. (side note I also made some TVPC changes and dropped another 60W from that)

    I cant tell a difference with the good energy bulbs I certainly would notice it a lot less then I did the sweating. Of course I managed to do this without a government mandate, subsidy, regulation, rationing or education programming. So I would make terrible democrat.

  2. There’s a much better and, I might add, time proven product on the market that will provide both light and heat for the average American consumer. I speak of course of…candles. Yes candles! Made from nothing more then biodegradable wax and string, they produce both light and heat at a fraction of the cost of old fashioned light bulbs. Like the horse and carriage they produce zero admissions, are environmentally friendly and…did I say they are biodegradable?

  3. EVERYONE knows that global warming climate temperature change fluctuation is CAUSED by those light bulbs you people bitterly cling too!
    Why do you think it gets colder at night? All the lights are off, DUH! People who don’t like progressive light bulbs are just racists!

  4. Candles? Live fire! What could possibly go wrong with today’s product of the educational system? “Well yea, I put the candle under the curtains but I didn’t think about a fire”… Of course it might clean out the gene pool some…
