The Electricity Saving Thread

[Retz]

yes TV draws power even off. At least this is what I measured on my old school crt tv with the Omni power meter. IIRC my old school tv draws around 10 watts even with it off. Current LCD and LED TVs should be a lot more efficient.

Phase out na rin ngayon LCD sir. Puro LED na rin.

Here's one tip for those who like hard cooked eggs.

Before whenever I cook hard boiled eggs, I let it boil for at least 10mins. Mali pala yon. I often end up with overcooked sticky yolk.

Now, I cook it slow, I set the stove to 120°C, wait for it to boil then pag nag-start na kumulo, i set it to turn off after one minute. I let it stand for at least 10mins unopened. The leftover heat will cook the eggs (I often cook 4 but this will work even for more).

Now, I get perfectly cooked boiled eggs every time. Yolk is perfectly smooth.

Old school rule: Turn off all electronics in 'sleep mode' when not in use.

ung mga eenrgy saving device applicable din ba dito?

[domyeongsi]

hmm.. while i do believe that energy saving devices don't consume much electricity while on sleep mode... OC lang ako na ayaw makakita ng light sa devices na hindi ginagamit. unplugged lahat sila lalo na pag aalis ako ng bahay.

Ask ko lang kung effective yung mga plug ins? plug mo lang sya sa isang outlet then the whole house save energy or lessen ung consumption ng appliances??

I bought 2 of those kala ko mas madami mas effective. pero wala din.

Mahal nxled, P699 yung 7W sa Handyman pero mas malinaw talaga sa 18 watts na CFL, parang 21-23W katapat niya.

GES na lang nga.
