Enjoy the poor quality light, frequent burnouts, fire risk, and newly toxic lighting system in your home SunnyD.

pretty sure the ABC News people people were unable to find a single light bulb made in the USA for their made in America house thing
Oh and if you eat one you probably don't want to have sushi as part of your diet for at least a few weeks.![]()
No actually, he got it right the first time. You didn't follow the conversation correctly. Cynicism at its finest.
I followed it correctly as was written, not as you intended to say.
Folks that use bad grammar and light bulbs have some things in common!
Not too bright
Get turned down a lot
Burn out easily...
Actually, other than the 2 "bright whites" I put in the kitchen, I have to say each and every one of the soft whites I put elsewhere in the house are pretty much indistinguishable from incandescent bulbs.
I can't attest to burnouts, since these are all new bulbs, but the few I've had for 3 years are still kicking just fine.
As far as fire risk, there's just as much risk with incandescent bulbs
and as far as my "toxic" lighting system, I don't think an accidental breakage of a few micrograms of mercury is going to make much difference compared to all the other shit that's been spewed into the environment over the last 100 years.
*shrug*so what lights are we supposed to be using in the bathroom... CFLs specifically say do not use in a wet environment.
*shrug*
The CFL that's in the ceiling in my bathroom has been doing fine for.....oh, maybe close to 2 years now.

Fixtures in bathrooms don't have the "suitable for wet locations" labeling either so it's OK. Well unless you have it mounted IN the shower where water runs over it.![]()
If you have a pulsating shower head, does that count as alternating current?Fixtures in bathrooms don't have the "suitable for wet locations" labeling either so it's OK. Well unless you have it mounted IN the shower where water runs over it.![]()

Between environmental (burning coal), fish, and now CFL mercury, I can see CFL's being the new leaded gasoline of 2020. Have fun with that.
