no light, go to bed at sundown like the middle ages.

>>59155010
you know the answer already. now stock up on 100w bulbs from china.

>>59155010
>Also the EU banned incandescent lights
Europoor here, you can still buy they, the only difference is they have to be labeled "heat bulbs" now instead of "light bulbs" like they used to (because in terms of energy efficiency they produce more heat than light).

>LED bulbs damage your eyes
Is this with it without some kind of diffuser

>The lightbulb in this room is less bright than a candle

Fuck the EU after brexit we better start making real lightbulbs again, my lightbulb dealer got arrested

>>59155010
The kind with the carbon filament.
Soft light and doesn't fuck with your alpha waves.

This is what you get for dealing with illegal light bulbs. I bet he tried to sell them to minors too.

This shit is beyond absurd at this point.

>I bet he tried to sell them to minors too.

That's how he got caught, some kid licked one from a lamp and got burnt and his teachers noticed and reported his family for illegal ownership of illegal illumination devices
His parents couldn't afford the license either so they went to prison and the kids are in care now

>>59155300
So....kids are practically braindead now?

>>59155123
the manufacturing doesn't change, they just rate the bulbs for 99W now

>>59155396

He had never seen such a bright light before

Forget that, they are not coming back. But even if you don't want to go LED there's still other viable, eco-friendly alternatives. I already made my choice.

Compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs can provide the same amount of lumens as incandescent light bulbs, using one quarter of the energy. Recently, CFL exposure was found to exacerbate existing skin conditions; however, the effects of CFL exposure on healthy skin tissue have not been thoroughly investigated.
In this study, we studied the effects of exposure to CFL illumination on healthy human skin tissue cells (fibroblasts and keratinocytes). Cells exposed to CFLs exhibited a decrease in the proliferation rate, a significant increase in the production of reactive oxygen species, and a decrease in their ability to contract collagen.

Measurements of UV emissions from these bulbs found significant levels of UVC and UVA (mercury [Hg] emission lines), which appeared to originate from cracks in the phosphor coatings, present in all bulbs studied. The response of the cells to the CFLs was consistent with damage from UV radiation, which was further enhanced when low dosages of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), normally used for UV absorption, were added prior to exposure. No effect on cells, with or without TiO2 NPs, was observed when they were exposed to incandescent light of the same intensity.

>Studies show that LED bulbs damage your eyes
Studies show that LEDs damage the eyes of albino mice. The albino mice have no pigmentation in their eyes. You know, the stuff that's primary function is to prevent damage to the eyes.

I could burn a 100 (hundred) candles and it would still be better for the polar bears than whatever plastic the chinks poorly manufactured and shipped here.

CFL's make you wrinkly and old, like somebody who's been sunbathing for too long. Using CFL's is like being in a Solarium 24/7.

Are you fucking joking? Do you know what a conflict of interest is? They even included that company's product in the study.

Moreover, the conditions of that study are retarded. It's the equivalent of replacing every wall in your office with LED screens displaying pure white at maximum brightness and standing in that office whenever you're awake for three months, Of course it's going to damage your eyes, you'd be an idiot to think it wouldn't. But nearly nobody gets that kind of exposure to bright light sources, and if they do, they're probably wearing some kind of eye protection anyway.

jesus fuck man, don't you think for yourself ever?

>>59155714
that's not what they said. They said that your skin reacts to the UV light coming from a CFL the same way it reacts to UV light coming from the sun (surprise!). The difference is that a CFL is producing orders of magnitude less UV light than the sun, otherwise you'd get a sunburn from a CFL. Stop being retarded.

Buy whatever lights you want, it doesn't matter, now fuck off.

>>59155010
>Studies show that LED bulbs damage your eyes
No, they don't.
>CFL's emit UV radiation and are terribly dim
*sigh*.

It's amazing modern humans can take a piss without hurting themselves.
