HowLightBulbsare ChangingIncandescent light bulbs consist of a thin metalwire, or filament, inside a glass bulb. Whenyou turn on the light, electricity runs throughthe filament and is converted to heat, causing itto glow, or incandesce. For each watt of powerthe bulb uses, it produces a lot of heat but only about15 lumens of light—lumens are a unit that measureslight emitted by a source such as a lamp.Fluorescent bulbs are filled with gases and havea special coating on the inside of the glass. When thelight is turned on, a chemical reaction takes place thatresults in particles bumping into the coating, creatingvisible light. Compact fluorescent light, or CFL,bulbs can produce 50 to 100 lumens of light per watt.Light-emitting diodes or LEDs emit light whenelectric current is passed through them. This process iscalled electroluminescence. As LEDs are exposedto heat, the amount of light they produce decreases,causing them to break down over time. Though currentlyexpensive, LED bulbs can be very energy efficient,producing more than 100 lumens per watt.Incandescentbulb• Gives off 90% ofenergy as heat,not light• Average lifespan:750–2,000 hoursCFL bulb• Uses 75% lessenergy thana traditionalincandescent bulb• Average lifespan:8,000–10,000hoursLED bulb• Uses 75–80%less energythan a traditionalincandescent bulb• Technology still indevelopment, butestimated lifespan is30,000–50,000 hours8 insideedison • http://inside.edison.com


A Day in the Life of aChemical EngineerChemical Engineer Venus Kaur beganher career at Southern California<strong>Edison</strong> seven years ago as an assistantnuclear chemical technician at the SanOnofre Nuclear Generating Station.Now, in Power Production Chemical Services, Venusstill has close ties with SONGS, working with theirchemical group as she supports water treatment forSONGS, as well as for SCE’s peaking plants, or peakers—generatingunits that can come online quicklyto help meet demand.Venus’s day might involve anything from goinginto the field to check equipment and collect data,to working on projects and writing reports, to absorbingknowledge in ongoing professional developmenttraining. “This job takes me back to myengineering roots,” said Venus. “Once I finishedmy chemical engineering degree, I thought I wasdone with hand calculations, but I get to do a lot ofmath here, and I love it.”Today, Venus receives a call from the CenterPeaking Generating Station in Norwalk, Calif. Ameasurement in the plant’s discharge water is notwhat’s expected, so her help is requested to seewhat the problem is. If the plant falls out of compliancelevels required by its city permit, it couldbe fined or taken outof operation.
