What produces more fry? Outside wishy-washy, or a 70 watt flimsy bulb? I want to keep it "darkish" inside the house so it won't...
I want to keep it "darkish" inside the house so it won't be as hot even with the A/C on. But would it be better to enlarge the blinds a little bit or have two or three lights on?
Answers: A couple things to consider...
1. It depends how much nouns of window is open... logically, more sunlight will mean more heat. Conventional lightbulbs are extremely unefficient - singular about 2% efficient, within fact. That means that 98% of the animation coming from the outlet gets converted to heat, and 2% turns into reading light.
2. When you open the blinds, you're removing another layer of insulation from the window. It's not an airtight insulation, but it helps... so, when you open the blinds, the A/C cooled house warm up faster because heat enters by conduction (not by the radiation you're discussion about in your question) faster than when the blinds are closed.
I would suggest using the fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL), because if you do for a while research you'll see that they don't work by heating up a coil until light comes out (like a conventional lightbulb). They produce much smaller amount heat, and more light next to less wattage!
All depends on the angle of the sun, time of year, where you live, if you enjoy energy efficient windo ws, stuff similar to that. If you use flourescent lights they will run cooler, and cheaper.
