Like I said before, it would be better if they could make them out of a different material that can produce light and is less hazardous. That way you won't have to deal with having your house to be ventilated for several hours.

« on: February 24, 2008, 01:55:54 PM »EXACTLY! Seriously guys, what kind of person is REALLY going to go through all the trouble to recycle them? This is America we're talking about here. Maybe 5% of them will get recycled, at a maximum. You're missing the point about the Mercury. Even if you clean it up immediately and properly, its still SERIOUSLY risking your health. It's one of the most poisonus elements. I asume its just as harmful to pets. Hate to break a lightbulb and wake up the next morning to have your pet dead. Think about it, its real and it can certainly happen. And yet, they want to put MORE of these hazardous bulbs in our homes. Maybe its there way of controling the population, who knows. I for one am never going to own a single CFL. And if that means getting them illegaly, then so be it. I'm not risking my health for something that wont do me any good in the long run.Great post, Gil. I'd sue Congress if I were to find my cat sitting on the floor dead because a light bulb broke. I thought the US is a FREE country, not a country where we are forced to do things. What's with this country?

Really? I've tried touching one of those spiral ones and it seemed just as hot as an incandescent.

I hate it how Congress wants to ban incandescents. I'm not going to the recycling plant just to drop off bulbs. CFL's produce a different shade of light that I don't like. They need to make CFL's out of a different material that will produce light, such as hydrogen or something, and make them produce an identical shade of light that incandescents can produce. Also, do they make transparent florescent bulbs?

I'm sure you could find that in a music store or any other store that carries a decent selection. Allman Brothers is popular.
