Canadian Expert Invented Solar Energy Bulbs

Canadian metallurgical experts recently developed a service life of up to 100,000 hours of solar energy light bulbs, energy consumption only one-tenth of the ordinary energy-saving light bulbs, the service life of electric energy-saving light bulbs than the regular long 10-100 times.

It includes two techniques: First, the solar energy into electric energy technologies; Second, the use of the electric energy into light diode technology. In fact, as long as the new solar light bulbs with 3-12 diodes and an ordinary light bulb's glass shell can be made.
