Energy-saving Lamps
Light through Changing Times
Energy-saving lamps are energy-efficient illuminants which will step by step replace energy-intensive illuminants. This replacement has been laid down in an EU framework directive. This directive has resulted in two laws, according to which, for example, conventional light bulbs are to be replaced by energy-efficient lamps such as compact fluorescent or halogen lamps. Various types of energy-saving lamps and their production are shown in the film. It illustrates how they are disposed of according to the rules and how the recycling process continues. Moreover, the aspect of further research is looked into. For example lamps are being designed that will not contain the hazardous substance mercury anymore. This will be a revolutionary technology!
