Pero me parece que en la Argentina se introdujo el tema de CFL muy histericamente.
Acaso saben los Argentinos que las CFL que aca se venden no estan admitidas en Europa? Inti Iram se ha olvidado de hacer tan solo una tabla de ayuda al publico para corregir tan solo el factor de potencia, en aquellos hogares en donde se sustituyo la totalidad de las lamparas y las que vienen a Argentina no superan 0.5 - 0.6 de coseno phi.
En cuanto a la distorsion armonica se excede en todos los casos el 10% y sinfiltros sintonizados no sera posible su correccion.
Al final una buena lampara de CFL cuesta mas cara que el costo total de nergia que ahorrara en toda su vida util en relacion con una incandescente. Es verdad que hay CFl chinas de bajjo costo pero empricamente han durado menos de 400 horas frente a las 3000 quie vienen indicadas ( en condiciones de tiempo y cantidad de encendidos diarios normalizados)
En fin , falta aun un largo camino por recorrer.....

Luis se queda corto con el 10% de distorsión armónica. Todas las lámparas chinas que se consumen acá superan ampliamente el 100% de distorsión armónica de corriente (THDI). Esto impacta negativamente en toda la red de distribución, aumentando las pérdidas en conductores, transformadores, capacitores, etc. En nuestro país no existe política energética, solo declaraciones demagógicas y desinformación.
Saludos.
