Neither is Sun. Clearly, we should shut the Sun down in favour of lightbulbs designed in the 19th Century

It could potentially be good for the environment (so long as the environment we are talking about isn't in the home).Comment

If done vigorously enough could help to heat the home

4 pages and no one mentions mercury poisoning.
Incandescents
(inefficient but heat is a good thing, short life time, no mercury vapor)
CFLs
LEDs (longer life and less mercury than CFL's)

I noticed the same thing with my admittedly limited exposure to the new bulbs. The light seemed 'weaker'(?). I was wondering what the point of the exercise was if I have to double up on light sources (or suffer with poorer quality).Originally posted by Flubber
Oh and one comment
I find the CFL's to be fine in my halls where they are encased in a lighting fixture. The light seems ok.
But oddly, in my garage where I just have 2 "naked" bulbs, the lighting just seems dingy in comparison to what it was. Its not enough that I will switch them out buty the lighting just seems vaguely inferior
To me the point is moot as I use so few light bulbs (only 9 bulbs in my space require changing). I'll continue using the cheaper 'less efficient' bulbs."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

When I was young there used to be kids toys where you had to get all the mercury through a hand held maze. Those were the days.
