T...CFLs are an example of greenwashing gone astray. They not only contain toxic mercury but recent articles have shown that they can emit UV rays that damage skin!<br /><br />I've got a couple cartons full of old-style bulbs in the closet. I only use CFLs outdoors. We break a fair number of bulbs here (I say we but could say "he") and I don't need any more neurological problems than I already deal with.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763547174099448920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-12350845255553957892013-03-17T16:25:18.481-04:002013-03-17T16:25:18.481-04:00My experience is that they DO NOT last longer, emi...My experience is that they DO NOT last longer, emit RF (Radio Frequency) noise - matters to me as I am a ham radio operator - and do not allow me to tell is my socks are black or blue, resulting in fashion a faux pas which might affect my chances of being elected president.<br /><br />I have been led to believe that one day in the future it will be against some law to sell real bulbs. When that day comes I hope to have enough old bulbs to sell on the white market to pay for my decontamination tax.Theotherjewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14080374434101539766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-49661327450923837612013-03-17T08:54:30.530-04:002013-03-17T08:54:30.530-04:00Interesting and perhaps correct because this info ...Interesting and perhaps correct because this info is new to me.

Until they can come up with a better alternative or we can't find any more that's what we will use. We have replaced some of the ceiling bulbs in the kitchen with LEDs, and I think there are CFLs in the garage, but you can't beat the soft lighting of the incandescent.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801967071649685995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-40110006530451488792013-03-16T23:53:23.697-04:002013-03-16T23:53:23.697-04:00I need a 3 way for a vintage floor lamp next to my...I need a 3 way for a vintage floor lamp next to my desk.It has been running on one setting for over a year.Out on the prairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548162534362532705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-58135425132046182013-03-16T21:25:56.834-04:002013-03-16T21:25:56.834-04:00We tryed a few and didn't like them we stick t...We tryed a few and didn't like them we stick to the old three way bulbs here to !

WE stocked up on the old bulbs and will get some more before they are totally one. I wonder if the government will have people case the neighborhoods to see if folks are using the old kind.
