Europe began to burn the incandescent ball

European stores and supermarkets will not be allowed to sell 100 watt incandescent bulbs from early next month.

According to European Commission regulations, people will continue to use incandescent bulbs with a capacity of less than 100 watts in a few years. Then the incandescent ball will be completely banned.

According to Sky News , currently about 85% of electric bulbs in households are considered to consume too much electricity. New light bulb technologies - such as compact fluorescent lamps - can save up to 80% of electricity compared to the oldest incandescent bulbs.

According to scientists' calculations, if all Europeans throw away the incandescent ball, each family's bill of convenience will drop 166 euros a year. In addition, the life expectancy of new shadows is 8-15 times higher than incandescent balls.

The EU hopes the decision of the bloc will help reduce CO ₂ emissions. The ban lies in the package of solutions to deal with climate change in the EU.

The European Consumer Association (BEUC) welcomes European governments' roadmap to eliminate incandescent bulbs. This organization asserts that consumers will benefit financially from the ban.

However, the BEUC warned that the removal of incandescent lamps would push some consumers into a disadvantage.

' Many people are concerned that new bulbs contain too much mercury and they can cause many health problems. Some people need to use incandescent bulbs because of light-related diseases, but the EU has ignored their legitimate needs ', BEUC said.

The BEUC wants the European Commission to ensure that those who depend on incandescent bulbs can still buy them until the appropriate replacement shade appears on the market.
