FWIW, there has been another type of bulb invented that uses LED light and doesn't use mercury. (My son does FIRST robotics, and they sell these things to raise money for them). I think they use like 6-7 watts of energy and are supposed to last 10,000 hours.gratefuldeb67 wrote:I just heard about the Congresses bill which is going to be signed into law, which will ban incandescent bulbs in favour of CFL and Halogen bulbs, starting next year.. by 2014 there will be no more production of incandescent light bulbs. I am very upset about this and plan on hoarding them this year. What a stupid plan. Why not try to become less dependent on oil in the Middle East?.. Now we will have dumps filled with billions of mercury containing CFL lights, and be poisoning our environment even more, and taking away the right to consumer choice.
