Los
Angeles Times: With 22% of energy in the US being used by
electrical lighting, any reduction of lightbulb energy use
could be a major energy saver. An international team has
published
a technique that could reduce individual lightbulb energy use
by 13%. The team proposes that a light that is "on" would cycle
through being on for 67 ms and then off for 10 ms. The
resulting flickering would be quicker than the human eye could
detect, but the duration of the light during the on time would
be more than enough for rooms to appear brightly lit.
