Toshiba’s productsToshiba’s productsManufacturers worldwide have begun phasing out production of incandescents #xin favor ofcompact fluorescent lamp(CFL) and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs, which are more energy efficient and last longer. Several nations and the EU have plans to ban the sale of incandescents in the next few years. In the US, a phased ban on the sale of 100 watt incandescents begins in 2012.Toshiba had been making incandescents since 1890,托盘, when a company that would eventually become part of Toshiba began production at 10 bulbs a day. Production peaked in 1978 at 80 million.Before we cheer the “inevitability” ofcompact fluorescent lampascendancy over incandescents, however, it should be pointed out that in the US sales of CFLs peaked in 2007 and have not yet recovered.Two factors are suspected in the drop: the higher cost of CFLs, and their performance. Given the state of the economy the last couple years, it’s not surprising consumers might chose less expensive incandescents (even if the math shows CFLs are cheaper over the long run).State and local governments and utilities have also been scaling back CFL promotion programs. In Ohio, a utility got in hot water after sending customers CFLs and then charging them for the bulbs, whether they wanted them or not.Toshiba, one of Japan’s largest makers of lighting products, announced that it had permanently ended production Wednesday of incandescent light bulbs, a year ahead of schedule.As for performance, while there is no questioncompact fluorescent lamps last longer and use less energy than incandescents, some consider them less visually pleasing than #xtraditional bulbs, which come in a variety of styles and luminosities.相关的主题文章：
