Deutsch, C. (2008, January 26). Seeking a More Flattering Light on, and from, bulbs. New York Times, pp. D5

Mr. Hamburg says the average household reduces its energy budget by $12 to $20 a month using compact fluorescents. Additionally, better technology has made the bulbs’ harsh glow somewhat warmer and softer, though many people still object to it.

Incandescents are still the simplest technology. You throw some electricity into a filament and it lights up. And they offer full-spectrum color. But about 95 percent of the energy is wasted as heat, and making them more efficient would also make them much more expensive. Halogen lamps, common for automotive headlights or spotlights in retail displays, are a bit more efficient, but they’re also more expensive.

C.F.L.’s are extremely efficient, and cheaper to operate over their lifetime. But the color just isn’t the same as incandescents, they don’t work well for spot lighting and for now they don’t work with dimmer switches.

Rosenbloom, S. (2008, June 24). Home depot offers recycling for compact fluorescent bulbs. New York Times, pp.C12

Some big retailers are promoting compact fluorescent light bulbs as a way to save energy. But improper disposal of the bulbs creates a hazard, because they contain small amounts of mercury.

Aldo DeRubeis bought compact fluorescent bulbs on Monday at the Home Depot in New Rochelle, N.Y. Sales of compact fluorescents climbed to 75 million last year for the retailer.

Recycling them is about to get easier. Home Depot , the nation’s second-largest retailer, will announce on Tuesday that it will take back old compact fluorescents in all 1,973 of its stores in the United States, creating the nation’s most widespread recycling program for the bulbs.

“We haven’t really had to develop the infrastructure” before now, said Steven Hamburg, interim director of the Center for Environmental Studies at Brown University. “The demand wasn’t there.” But lately, consumers have been getting the message — in stores, from the media and through awareness campaigns — that compact fluorescents use up to 75 percent less energy, last longer and cost less over time than incandescent bulbs.

Wroe, A. (2010, November 22). Going out all over Europe. The Economist, pp.43-45

At the time of writing you could still buy them in London, in packs of six, from under the counter in the hardware shop, as nervously as a teenager might buy condoms or a packet of cigarettes. But their days are numbered. Already they have gone from shops in Australia and Brazil. By the end of 2011 their sale will be banned in Britain, production ended in Japan and fadeouts will begin in the United States and intensify across Europe. They will die, therefore, not with that familiar “ping!” and “Oh, drat!”, but with a quieter dimming, like the dark condensate veiling on glass that is very old. Never-theless, it seems right to speak of incandescent bulbs in the past tense.

They were probably the least efficient way ever devised of producing light, heating a tungsten filament in a vacuum until it reached 3,100°F (1,704°C), white-hot. Around 90% of the energy was not light but heat, as anyone changing a bulb too readily would discover in a trice. But they generated also the beautiful word “incandescent”, or at least put it into common use. Luminescent and fluorescent bulbs might be more virtuous, but they shone more dully, and poets loved them less.

How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work? Fluorescent light bulbs (including compact fluorescents) are more energy-efficient than regular bulbs because of the different method they use to produce light. Regular bulbs (also known as incandescent bulbs) create light by heating a filament inside the bulb; the heat makes the filament white-hot, producing the light that you see. A lot of the energy used to create the heat that lights an incandescent bulb is wasted. A fluorescent bulb, on the other hand, contains a gas that produces invisible ultraviolet light (UV) when the gas is excited by electricity. The UV light hits the white coating inside the fluorescent bulb and the coating changes it into light you can see. Because fluorescent bulbs don't use heat to create light, they are far more energy-efficient than regular incandescent bulbs.

Here are some of the impressive benefits offered by compact fluorescent light bulbs:

· Compact fluorescent light bulbs last up to ten times longer than incandescent bulbs. Generally, an incandescent bulb lasts less than 1,000 hours (about one year of use at three hours per day), while a compact fluorescent bulb lasts about 10,000 hours. So, if you stall a compact fluorescent light bulb into a lamp on your child’s first birthday, that same light bulb will most likely be casting light on his or her sixth grade homework ten years later.

· Compact fluorescent light bulbs save you money. Although they initially cost more than incandescent bulbs, compact fluorescent light bulbs pay for themselves in reduced energy costs within a few months’ time. As the cost of compact fluorescent light bulbs keep coming down, the savings will increase.

· Compact fluorescent light bulbs use 65 to 75 percent less electricity than incandescent light bulbs and thus are more energy efficient. Here's why: Incandescent bulbs create light by heating a filament inside the bulb, which requires a lot of energy, while compact fluorescent bulbs contain a gas that produces invisible ultraviolet light when the gas is stimulated by electricity. Because compact fluorescent bulbs (and regular fluorescent light bulbs) don't use heat to produce light, they are much more energy efficient than traditional incandescent light bulbs. That's why you can replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb with a 15-watt compact fluorescent bulb and get the same amount of light.

· Compact fluorescent light bulbs produce about 75 percent less heat than incandescent bulbs, so they are safer to operate and can help reduce energy costs associated with cooling your home.

The central element in a fluorescent lamp is a sealed glass tube. The tube contains a small bit of mercury and an inert gas, typically argon, kept under very low pressure. The tube also contains a phosphor powder, coated along the inside of the glass. The tube has two electrodes, one at each end, which are wired to an electrical circuit.

Fluorescent lamps come in all shapes and sizes, but they all work on the same basic principle: An electric current stimulates mercury atoms, which causes them to release ultraviolet photons. These photons in turn stimulate a phosphor, which emits visible light photons. At the most basic level, that's all there is to it!

Persuasion Speech Preparation Outline

Introduction

I. Could 15 minutes really save you 15% or more on car insurance? I don’t know about that. What I know for sure is that 15 minutes can save you 75% on electricity bill.

II. Good morning; my name is Sitora Mirsoatova and today I will persuade you to switch from using incandescent bulbs to fluorescent bulbs in your homes through a research that I have done using newspaper and magazine articles as well as internet sources. Comment by IACOBAZZO-DALTON: Needed more specific source as credibility.

III. I will compare the two methods of producing light used by the fluorescent bulb and the incandescent bulb, the cost savings between these two bulbs and share the impressive benefits of using fluorescent bulbs with you.

(Connective Phrase: Let me begin with comparing methods of light production between a fluorescent bulb and an incandescent bulb).

Body

I. Comparison of the light production methods between fluorescent bulb and incandescent bulb Comment by IACOBAZZO-DALTON: Although student had strong research cited on Annotative Bibliography page but did not transfer that to the actual speech.

A. The central element in a fluorescent lamp is a sealed glass tube.

1. As you can see from this graph, the tube contains a small bit of mercury and an inert gas, typically argon, kept under very low pressure. Comment by IACOBAZZO-DALTON: cite source your found research?

a. The tube also contains a phosphor powder, coated along the inside of the glass.

b. The tube has two electrodes, one at each end, which are wired to an electrical circuit

2. When the gas is excited by electricity it produces invisible ultraviolet light.

a. The UV light hits the white coating inside the fluorescent bulb.

b. And phosphor coating changes it into light you can see.

B. Because fluorescent bulbs don't use heat to create light, they are far more energy-efficient than regular incandescent bulbs.

1. Regular bulbs, also known as incandescent bulbs, create light by heating a filament inside the bulb. Comment by IACOBAZZO-DALTON: cite evidence your found to backup this facts. This had several pages' worth of evidence but did NOT support it here in the actual speech.

a. The heat makes the filament white-hot, producing the light that you see.

b. A lot of the energy used to create the heat that lights an incandescent bulb is wasted.

(Connective phrase: Now I would like to prove to you that switching to a fluorescent bulb will save you 70% on your electricity bill.)

II. Comparison of cost saving between fluorescent bulb and an incandescent bulb demonstrates the cost savings.

A. Fluorescent bulbs don't use heat to produce light, they are much more energy efficient than traditional incandescent light bulbs.

1. I would like to show you the table that I prepared to compare these two bulbs.

2. Fluorescent vs. Regular Light Bulb: Cost Comparison

	Regular(incandescent)	Fluorescent	Units
Power	60	15	Watts
Bulb Life	1000	10000	Hours
Bulb Cost	0.5	3.5	Dollars

3. As you in this table a 60-watt incandescent bulb can be replaced with a 15-watt fluorescent bulb that provides the same amount of light.

B. A fluorescent light bulbs last up to ten times longer than an incandescent bulbs.

1. According to the web site www.ajdesigner.com a fluorescent bulb lasts about 10,000 hours.

2. A fluorescent light bulb that I stalled into a lamp on my daughter’s first birthday, will be casting light on her sixth grade homework ten years later.

3. On the other hand an incandescent bulb lasts less than 1,000 hours about one year of use at three hours per day, not impressive is it?

C. Compact fluorescent light bulbs save you money.

1. Although they initially cost more than incandescent bulbs, fluorescent light bulbs pay for themselves in reduced energy costs within a few months’ time.

2. If electricity rate is 0.09 dollars/kwh electrical cost charged to run an incandescent bulb for 10,000 hours would be 54 dollars.

a. If you use fluorescent bulb you will save you 40.5 dollars in electricity cost.

b. But wait that’s not all; you have to replace 10 incandescent bulbs during 10,000 hour period which gives you 1.5 dollars more in savings.

c. In total you will save 42 dollars if you just switch to fluorescent bulb.

(Connective Phrase: Now I would like to share impressive benefits with you)

III. Some impressive benefits offered by fluorescent bulb

A. According to the website www.energyquest.gov if each household changed one standard bulb for one compact fluorescent bulb we can reduce energy use by up to 616 million kilowatt hours of electricity in one year.

1. We also will save $74.7 million a year on household electricity bills.

2. We will reduce garbage by keeping up to a billion bulbs out of the trash.

3. Each fluorescent bulb can last up to 10 times longer than an ordinary bulb, so think of all those bulbs that won't be thrown away.

B. We will keep 921 million pounds of carbon dioxide or CO2 out of the environment. CO2 is the most common gas that contributes to global warming.

1. That's 691 pounds of CO2 saved from the atmosphere with each fluorescent bulb.

2. Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, are produced by the power plants that light your homes.

Conclusion

Today I compared two methods of light production used by fluorescent bulb and incandescent bulb; I also compared cost saving between these two bulbs and shared impressive benefits of using fluorescent bulbs with you.

Who wants to save money? Anyone? Everyone! Switch to fluorescent bulbs and you will kill two birds with one stone - you will save your budget and the environment.
