“I always loved comics and I wanted to show what could happen to the superheroes when they are old,” Sacha Goldberger told TODAY.com. “Superman and Wonder Woman, they’re all young. I wondered what they would be like when they got older.”



Besides, Goldberger’s grandmother really is a hero â€" a very human hero. Originally from Budapest, Hungary, Frederika was a baroness, born into a wealthy Jewish family. When World War II erupted, she was forced into hiding. She and her husband risked their lives to help hide others as well. By the end of the war, she had saved 10 people from the Nazis. After the war, she left Hungary and emigrated to France where she raised her family.

When Frederika retired in her early 80s, retirement left her bored and a bit unhappy. As Fast Company reported, her doting grandson, Sacha Goldberger, began photographing her to help cheer her up and keep her active. After a couple of years, Mamika the superhero was born.

LED lighting solves all the problems associated with other light bulbs and has proven to not only provide better light, but LEDs are an average of 20 times more efficient than incandescent and 5 times more efficient than CFLs. They also last an average of 50,000 hours, which means the average person will replace an LED lamp once every 20 years. LEDs contain no toxic mercury, most are dimmable and can also be recycled.

With the worldwide phaseout of the incandescent bulb, many people feel that LED lighting is perfectly positioned for mass adoption. As the demand increases, prices for LED lamps will continue to go down while the technology continues to improve.

(these excerpts are from a website that impressed me as a site for either a LED manufacturing concern or a pro-LED proponent, not a detached information conveyor. - islander)

When the light incandescent bulb burns out for good, what alternatives will exist for consumers? The first choice consumers have gravitated to is the Compact Fluorescent Light or CFL.



While CLFs are more energy-efficient than incandescent, there is a Global concern as to their safety. CFLs contain toxic mercury and must be properly disposed of according to guidelines as set forth by the Environment Protection Agency or EPA.

However with the entire planet moving away from incandescent and also concerned with using CFLs, what other choices exist that reduce energy, are highly efficient and safe for the environment? The answer comes in the form of LED lighting.

-excerpts
http://getleducated.com/

The phaseout officially begins with the 100-Watt incandescent light bulb on January 2012 and ends with the 40-Watt bulb in 2014. Any light bulbs outside of these requirements are exempt from the ban.

Part of the Bill mandates that all light bulbs must use 30% less energy by 2014. It also states that by 2020, all light bulbs must be 70% more efficient than bulbs used in 2007 and produce a minimum of 45 lumens per Watt.

Other countries around the world have beaten the United States to ban the bulb. Among the first countries to outright ban all incandescent bulbs were Australia, Brazil, Cuba and Venezuela. The UK is phasing out the incandescent by the end of 2011. Canada follows with a complete ban by 2012 as well as many other countries in Europe.

-excerpts
http://getleducated.com/

On December 18, 2007, the U.S. Congress passed legislation to ban the incandescent light bulb by 2014. Then President George Bush signed the Energy Independence and Security Act that also included raising full efficiency standards on automobiles by 40%.
