Energy-Efficient Lighting

A Catalyst article about how the society can decide whether energy-efficient lighting is good for the environment. With the UK Government announcement that sales of filament lamps will be phased out over the next few years the article examines their replacements, CFLs, compact fluorescent lamps. Not everyone agrees that this is a good idea. The article examines some of the concerns.

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2007, Volume 18, Issue 2.
