Greetings to all who share the wisdom of feng shui!
Festival of Lights!
Light is one of our most precious commodities, and yet, we take it for granted. We waste it, and we don’t appreciate it until suddenly a storm hits, the power goes out, and darkness prevails.
There is however a primordial memory in the ubiquitous lighting ceremonies of trees, gardens and buildings. In ever more decorative and elaborate displays, millions of lights illuminate the night at this darkest time of the year.
We celebrate Christmas, the festive commemoration of the birth of Christ and divide history into B.C. and A.D. according to this momentous event. Long before this historic landmark, light was revered worldwide by the ancients with December 25th as the birth date of Mithra, the Iranian God of Light, and The Jewish Festival of Lights during which Jesus was born.
Periodically, mankind has lived through revolutionary experiences with light from the discovery of fire to Thomas Edison. The quest for light goes on, and now, in our most advanced era of technology, we once again will undergo a revolutionary innovation in our relationship with light.
In celebration of the Festival of Light, we have devoted research and a series of newsletters to the latest developments in the use of light bulbs. As we say good-bye to old-fashioned light bulbs, we reluctantly and with trepidations look for the latest, newest, and perhaps beneficial changes in future light options.
We aim to stay informed as traditional incandescent light bulbs are about to be switched off. The federal Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 set light bulb efficiency standards that will soon prevent the manufacture and importation of most incandescent bulbs. That has created an uproar among many fans of traditional bulbs who complain about the cost, harsh tones, possible dangers and other drawbacks of the new bulbs.
What do we need to know about the new rules? Stay tuned to more of our newsletters as we will try to make sense of the upcoming light bulb revolution. We will study CFLs, LEDs and Halogens in our efforts to illuminate future usage and help you decide whether you need to continue hoarding incandescents. We will try to dispel fear of the unknown with educated answers and with valid recommendations based on research.
