If next year from the traditional light bulb gradually disappear from the market, should also be some change in German cities. Most likely it will probably in time to observe Christmas, when the most inner cities every year in a Lichtermeer transform. In many municipalities will be thought about how for the era after the light bulb can prepare.
Thus, in Hanover City Manager Achim Balkhoff already made some thoughts: For the roughly 20,000 light bulbs, in the Lower Saxony state capital every year at Christmas time are switched on, it Replacement medium ago, as he talks to the news agency AP says. "We need new ideas, but certainly the whole drawing a lead of one to one and a half years." It is primarily about the use of energy-saving lighting - the ultimate aim of gradually coming into force EU ban incandescent bulbs from 1 September 2009.
Long-term approach should be the Hanoverians, according to the City Manager anyway to be reviewed. "My idea is based on the Christmas lights to a light winter," explained Balkhoff and says an extension of time lighting in the "dark" months of January and February. This also contributes to the fact that the then angeschafften more expensive energy-saving lamps made paid faster. Currently, the Christmas lights for words Balkhoffs with around 100,000 euros annually to Beech.
LEDs: Pricey in the acquisition, cheap in operation
Also in Nuremberg, with its famous Christmas market before changes are: "However we have no panic" says Guenter Morsbach, spokesman of adventure Nuremberg, the association of downtown merchants, left. 100,000 light bulbs in Nuremberg care center each year for a festive and welcoming atmosphere. A stark change will be in Nuremberg, but do not give stresses Morsbach.
THE BAN ... bulb of the EU Commission follows the rules in Australia and New Zealand. It is not a question of the use of conventional incandescent lamps from a certain date to prohibit or even a criminal offense, but about the sale of incandescent bulbs gradually einzustellen.Der timetable: From 1 September 2009 will be no clear light bulbs with more than 100 watts or more can buy. Coinciding be - regardless of wattage - especially all the energy inefficient bulbs classes F and G made from the sale. From 2010 the sale will stop at light bulbs with more than 75 watts expanded, a year later on lamps to 60 watts. From 2012 may also be weaker bulbs no longer be sold as long as they do not at least reach Class C efficiency. From 2016 a general ban on all bulbs below the energy class B. The restrictions with respect to efficiency halogen lamps classes conclude with a special exception only Niederenergiemodelle.Bereits from September 2009 is also a ban on the sale of incandescent !
mat underneath the energy efficiency of Class A. Not Sales ban affected are special bulbs in special formats, such as those in refrigerators, auto-valves, ovens, etc. are used.
As the energy-saving technology in the Christmas season makes this year may be New York tourists to look at.
Around 30,000 small light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were several kilometers cables on the famous Christmas tree near the Rockefeller Center in Manhattan installed, also in the ecological sense altogether green is: Do the spruce with hand saws, and in matters of energy, the maker also invented something: The power of the diodes collect solar cells on the roof of Rockefeller Center. After the feast of the tree is visible recycled.
Such a general awareness of efficiency improvement can also municipalities in Germany will not close, as Bernd Düsterdiek from German Cities and Municipalities will take place. "Basically, the decision of the EU in a positive light bulbs - especially for the climate," says the Head of Urbanism and Environment. "But of course that costs money." But bottom line is constructed for the municipalities: "It is a good thing. Moreover, we do not start from scratch. Technically, there are already good opportunities to other umzurüsten lights," he insists.
Bulbs, ALTERNATIVE-LIGHTING WEIHNACHTSSCHMUCKDas AND THE bulbs ban in the European Union is not madness unleashed bureaucrats, but follows an international trend: The approximately 170 years old technology of the bulb is overtaken by time. Energy-saving lamps are up to six times more efficient, are in the acquisition but also considerably more expensive (up to 20 - sometimes with good qualities). Therefore, they live longer. Criticisms: The light of energy saving lamps is considered "colder" than that of incandescent bulbs, they bring their full light output even after an initial period. Accusations that they were in the eco-balance as worse than conventional bulbs, are highly promising umstritten.Als apply LED bulbs, which only in recent years arose. She speaks for an extremely high durability, light yield immediate and very low power: He is comparable light output with 10 to 20 percent of the power of Glühbirne.Dafür LED bulbs are very expensive (up to 40 - at times com!
parable light output). That might not be the last bulbs ban some change, but there are still technological steps: Sun delivers an LED "bulb" with 48 Leutdioden yet more light than a 20 - watt light bulb - for a purchase price of approximately ten euros. To acceptable levels of light to come, you needed a lot of pears and Kleingeld.Schummerbeleuchtung LEDs on the other hand, can very beautifully. The market for Christmas lighting has long been prepared. Garlands with 100 LEDs to get easily to 15 euros. An investment that is quickly calculates, because these things consume only five to seven watts. Because this is so, suffice themselves even in winter sunlight to the necessary energy for the night to refuel - according big is the supply of foreign garlands with a small solar panel (from 25 euros). Quite differently than you would expect initially, could be the lightbulbs ban about the medium even to a revival of last frowned upon as opulent soft night lighting in private home!

The shares also expected to Jürgen Waldorf from relevant trade association in the ZVEI industry association for. "Especially the halogen lamps are available in all forms - even to clean screws into existing versions," says the managing director of the Association electric lamps. Challenges, the industry still mainly in the LED lamps to master. "This will be considerably higher light output at a reasonable price to be able to offer", says Waldorf.
Despite the likely targets from Brussels revolutions in the coming year in German cities but elusive. However, it is traded: This is a test for Nuremberg planned. "In a road, we will only 2,009 LED lights affixed and look at how this looks," Guenter Morsbach announced by the Association of downtown dealers. Only then will decide on further action.
