Gregory W. J. Hawryluk, M.D., Ph.D. ... University of Utah â Medical Center. Since early in my career I have viewed the National Neurotrauma Society and its members as pursuing the noblest of causes - to find a cure or effective treatment for the devastation of brain and spinal cord injuries.
As you might recall, the incandescent bulb phase-out stems from the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007). A section of this Act has adopted the title of Incandescent ban over the last few years, except it is not really a ban at all.
In a standard incandescent lamp, tungsten from the filament evaporates over time and is deposited on the walls of the bulb, thus reducing light output. The filament gets thinner and thinner and eventually breaks, causing the lamp to fail.
