Aluminum land rover bodies are a mainstay in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia because they don't corrode like steel bodies. Of course they are used with toyota/denso drive lines. Nobody uses land rover engines.
The problem is that Tesla can't reproduce the conditions which some of these cars are charged under, so they are making assumptions about the way the mains cables work. The 25% is guess work.
Oh okay. There are devices here in Australia which switch off the power for peripherals (like a printer) when a main load (like a computer) is switched off. They are also used to power down devices like a games console when your TV is switched off.
considering the long term savings and the how much money that can be saved buying them in bulk, I am suprised a local/regional/state/country government doesn't just force the issue and issue a "Incandescent for LED trade scheme"
We have that here in Victoria, Australia. Our state government pays private operators to go from door to door swapping incandescent globes for CFLs, and installing power saving (switched) power boards. Its all free for the consumer but regulating the contractors has become an issue. We tend to get multiple groups coming to the house, and signing off on their check list without actually checking that we haven't had our stuff changed over yet.
Yeah but having said that there are many light fixtures which need to be replaced. When I bought my 70 year old house it had two ungrounded metal light fixtures, one of which was floating at mains voltage.
But you don't want your heat escaping the house as visible light. You want it to start off as infra-red so you get efficient transfer to the air in your house.
Yeah for some homes, energy saved in the winter just means running the heaters harder. In other places the heating comes directly from methane and the savings are still there.
A battery powered LED lamp would be about the safest thing in that environment. Ikea sell little lamps which stick on to a surface with double sided tape.

Harvey Norman here in Australia are selling an Android based desktop system.

But here the grids are separate from the generators, so home solar only really has to interface to the grid. Not sure its the same in Hawaii.
Brings to mind the apple update recently which reversed the meaning of mouse wheel clicks.
"This patch enhances the charging software to further protect your house wiring."
Ensures a cool and enjoyable energy consumption experience.

It is exactly the sort of rushed software hack which results in subsequent bug reports.

How about a strip of nichrome wire?
But visible light is an inefficient way to produce heat because light is lost through windows, etc.

My LED lamps use about 25% of the energy of the equivalent halogen or incandescent lamps.

Yeah it looks like they might be more like fluorescent lamps than we thought.

Make sure you tell them why.
Did slashcode just start supporting uncode?
Yeah but I don't think you need to. It only takes one post about getting around the filters to get slashdot.org filtered.
