Improving the Life Expectancy of CFL and LED Lighting
Lynn D. Churchill, Ph.D. An extensive review of the literature regarding causes for the failure of CFL and LED lighting has disclosed that the primary causes for failure are heat and electrical overstress (EOS). EOS is a term used to describe an event whereby an electronic component is operated above its absolute maximum electrical rated value. A simple related example of that is the common electrical fuse that may be rated for 5 Amps but if there is a short and a surge of mo

What is Dirty Electricity?
Lynn Churchill PhD, B.D. Erickson II, Bradley Layton PE PhD Dirty electricity, or “electrical pollution” has been cited frequently as a major health issue facing our population.¹,²,³,⁴ Electrical pollution is virtually everywhere in the modern world and is almost unavoidable in the urban environment. Like carbon monoxide, electrical pollution is not something you can see, smell, taste, or touch. It is something only a few people can sense, making it difficult for the rest of

What Your Gut Already Knows About EMFs
Before we had studies, we had instincts. People once worked with asbestos bare-handed, painted with lead, and smoked indoors — until their gut feelings were proven right by science. You don’t need a physics degree to sense when your home is too noisy — even if that noise is invisible. Maybe you can’t put your finger on it, but you feel more wired, more restless, more on edge. That’s your body noticing what your eyes can’t see: constant EMF exposure is creating stress signals

Why Clean Power Is the New “Organic” for Your Home
When “organic” first became mainstream, many people rolled their eyes. Why spend extra on food that looked the same as what was already on the shelf? But over time, we learned the difference — fewer chemicals, cleaner soil, better health. The same shift is happening right now with energy. Your home’s electrical system is its bloodstream, carrying energy to every corner. When that energy is filled with distortion and noise — dirty electricity — it’s like living on a diet of f

Why Power Quality Is the Missing Piece of Your Wellness Plan
We spend money on gym memberships, filtered water, and supplements — all to live healthier lives. But few people ever think about power quality . Most of us focus on how much electricity we use, not how clean it is. But power filled with harmonics, spikes, and distortion is like drinking water with sediment. It “works,” but it’s not ideal. If you’ve noticed any of these, your home may be dealing with dirty electricity: Chargers or electronics running hot Buzzing or flickering

The EMF Wake-Up Call You Didn’t Know You Needed
Picture this: you’re on a road trip and stop for some fast food. Once in a while, no big deal. But what if you had to eat it every day, three times a day? At some point, your body would start to complain. That’s exactly what happens with EMFs — they build up. A little exposure is fine. But constant exposure? That’s when problems start. Every device you own wants to talk — to the Wi-Fi, to the cloud, to other devices. Phones, tablets, appliances, even your thermostat is “chatt
