Who Invented the Light Bulb?
In 1802, Sir Humphry Davy, an English physician, created the first electric light by passing a current through a platinum strip. However, the modern light bulb is the result of many innovators' work and continuous improvements over 150 years. The invention of the light bulb helped to establish social order after sundown, extended the workday well into the night, and allowed us to navigate and travel safely in the dark. Without the light bulb, there would be no nightlife. However, creating a steady and affordable source of illumination was not as easy as many history textbooks suggest.
Energy Saving Light Bulbs
According to Energy Star, more than 70 percent of sockets in America still contain the old, inefficient incandescent light bulbs. They’ve challenged America to change just 20 million light bulbs to energy efficient light bulbs such as LED light bulbs in 2014. Using light bulbs to save energy is extremely important to the environment and your energy costs. Not only will making this small switch save you money by reducing your monthly electricity bill, but it will also help reduce overall energy waste and light pollution which are detrimental to our planet.
What are the Best Light Bulb Types?
There are many different types of light bulbs, such as LED, halogen, fluorescent, incandescent, and HID. What light bulb type you choose really depends on the amount of lighting you want or need in a space. For instance, cooking requires an ample amount of light to ensure that you don’t burn your food or injure yourself, so installing halogen light bulbs in your kitchen will provide you bright, clean light. If you’re looking to illuminate a room where the mood fluctuates, like a dining room, you can always install dimmable incandescent light bulbs along with a light dimmer.

Light Bulbs for Your Home
Amber turtle-safe LED bulbs are specially crafted lighting solutions designed to protect sensitive sea turtle populations. Sea turtles, particularly hatchlings, are known to be disoriented by artificial white and blue light sources, often leading them astray from their path to the sea. These amber bulbs emit a longer wavelength light, minimizing the impacts on these marine creatures. The purposeful design ensures that while humans still benefit from effective illumination, the bulbs significantly reduce the amount of disruptive light that reaches turtle nesting beaches.
Beyond their primary environmental purpose, these amber LED bulbs provide an energy-efficient and long-lasting light source, bringing together conservation and modern lighting technology. Their unique hue offers a warm, ambient glow that's pleasing to human eyes, making them a versatile choice not only for coastal areas but also for those seeking a softer, more atmospheric lighting option. By choosing these bulbs, users take a step forward in ecological responsibility, ensuring our beaches remain a safe haven for the next generation of sea turtles.
