HAVELLS Introduces Eco-Friendly High
Power Factor (HPF) CFLs
New Delhi, January 2010: Havells India Ltd, a US$1 billion plus company and one ofthe largest and fastest growing electrical and lighting companies in the world, hasintroduced a new range of energy saving CFLs with HPF (High Power Factor >0.85)Integral ballasts, which are more energy efficient and eco-friendly comparison to normalCFLs. This innovative product is definitely going to pave the way for environmentalprotection which has become the buzzword in the contemporary period. Currently, theregulatory norms in force into Europe pertaining to CFLs, the mercury content should bebelow 5 mg.
The conventional compact florescent lamps (CFLs) and incandescent bulbs (GLS)
consume more real power as compared to HPF CFLs. Ordinary CFLs have the powerfactor of 0.55. This means the loss of nearly 30% due to poor power factor is born by theElectricity Distribution Company (Utility Company).
As the GLS lamps has a shorter life and poor efficacy (Lm/W) to CFL lamps, theseincreases social cost by increasing pollution. Same is the case with conventional CFLhaving about 30% losses added to the distribution system, the is a over burden to thegeneration stations. This saved power will result to improve your life as this will result toreduce power cut or to improve industrialization and help India to grow faster. When itcomes to disposal of used CFLs, it becomes an environmental threat as the conventionalproduction methods using uncontrolled amount of liquid mercury posing a great threat to
flora and fauna. The extra mercury is also a major factor to pollute the environment,being Havells a socially responsible manufacturer to save the environment for tomorrow,has adopted PDT to supply the lamps to their customers with highest product standards,those are applicable to the Europe.
In such a scenario, Energy utilities and CFL manufacturing companies should focus moreon encouraging the use of HPF CFLs due to global trend of energy saving andenvironment sustainability. Moreover, very few people know that utility company sends

out the same amount of power to a 25-watt CFL as it does to a 50 watt incandescent lampwhile using a lamp with power factor 0.5, while you only use and pay for the 25 watts,your utility company still has to produce and transfer the 50 watts. The unused power,known as reactive power, is partially wasted in the process of being transferred and re-transferred, and takes a toll on the infrastructure of the distribution system overheating
of transformers, cables and motors, premature aging of capacitors, and interference withtelecom systems, this results to breakdown, Basically, our grids are designed to carry acertain type of energy (linear), and dont provide power effectively to other kinds ofenergy demands (electronic).
These state of art quality HPF CFLs are designed in such a manner that it reduces powerwastage and enhances the network capacity required for incandescent lighting. Moreover,these newer HPF CFL lamps contain less mercury which is the best and Eco-friendlyoption. We wish to mention here that every saving to the power will result to leaseemission of pollutants like CO2 and mercury emitted by the thermal power plants, duringpower generation.
