Presented at\u00a0International Symposium on Fire Investigation<\/a>, 2012<\/p>\n ABSTRACT<\/p>\n The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 has mandated that most of the incandescent lights\u00a0currently in use will be phased out by 2014 and replaced with more efficient means of producing light. Many\u00a0manufacturers have begun producing compact fluorescent and LED lighting to replace the incandescent bulb. While\u00a0this is a boon for energy conservation, what will it mean for the fire investigator? For years investigators have used\u00a0heat distorted light bulbs to help determine the origin and intensity of fires. The purpose of this study is to establish\u00a0a base of information on the effects of fire on new styles of lighting, and how the effects of fire can aid the\u00a0investigator in his or her work.<\/p>\n Download the complete paper here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Richard J.
