saving bulbs ... You know?

Focos Ahorradores Surely these now you know them, and even very likely to have a focus (or several) of these in your home. They are called compact fluorescent bulbs , and English are known by the acronym CFL.

These are highly efficient light bulbs, plus they emit 75% less heat, and use 75% less energy to produce the same amount of light, last for around 10 times outbreaks lasting conventional (incandescent).

might first see it as simply a focus "more expensive" but eventually you will not have to change bulbs as often and consume far less energy and therefore save on your electric bill (the nightmare of Mexicali) and utilize fewer resources to run them. If you have many lights in a room, changing from incandescent to fluorescent bulbs will also help your team from AC to cool faster and better in summer because they do not have to remove heat from the conventional focus (here speaks my professional side designer of industrial air conditioning systems: P).

However, there is a part that very little has been released on CFLs: they mercury inside. In case you do not know, mercury is a highly toxic metal (so break thermometers not a good idea). Before you panic and go to throw away all your energy saving light bulbs, you should know that these bulbs do not emit mercury when you play or when in use it is when he broke to be careful.

I found the task of seeking information about care in the management of energy saving light bulbs in the CFE page . Nothing. And sadly, no surprise. So I decided to search the page Energy Star and found this (in English).

Basically what you should do if you broke a focus of these in your home is:
  • BEFORE CLEANING: Get people and animals of the room, careful not to pass over the area where the bulb broke. Open a window and salt room for at least 15 minutes. If you have the air conditioning on, turn it off.
  • AREA IF THE FLOOR IS HARD (CONCRETE, lozetas, WOOD, ETC): Carefully fragentos collects the glass with some pieces of cardboard (not your hands) and put them in a plastic bag or tightly sealed glass jar with metal lid. Use a piece of duct tape (or tape) to pick up smaller pieces and dust. Area clean with damp paper towels or disposable wipes. Put the towels in the bag or jar with pieces of glass. not use a broom or vacuum cleaner for this.
  • AREA IF THE FLOOR IS CARPET OR MAT: With fragentos carefully picks the glass with some pieces of cardboard (not your hands) and place them in a tightly sealed plastic bag or glass jar with metal lid. Use a piece of duct tape (or tape) to pick up smaller pieces and dust. Use the cleaner to pick up fine debris and dust. Put the bag or canister vacuum cleaner bag or jar with pieces of glass.
You should wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning the area and wash SOLAS clothes he was wearing when the focus is broke and cleared the area. If a tablecloth, linen, curtain or blanket was in contact with a piece of the bulb, pull the garment away in a sealed bag. Put the bag in the trash (Outside your home).

Because of the danger of mercury vapors within these foci, not a good idea to throw it away when melted (it would break later and could cause harm to someone else). Ideally, take your bulbs to a special recycling center. There is a place in Mexicali? Unfortunately, apparently not. But if you cross into the USA, at Home Depot in El Centro, CA are your CFL bulbs for recycling:).

The idea of \u200b\u200bthis post is not to cause panic among the people, simply that it is good to be aware of how to act in case something happens. I hope this information does not make you get around these light bulbs.

In my house, only use this type of focus and we are delighted with them.
