i swear cfl lightbulbs are death

[clouds z]

sometimes i put in a cfl swirl light bulb because they last longer and after a day or too i take it out

i feel like im being crushed by something

its in the hall and not even in direct glare of it, just lighting the hall and its still bad

i feel my blood vessels are shrinking and im dieing so i put in an old incandescent bulb and feel better

get rid of the damn things and get the old ones

i saw picture on the net of a person who stepped on a broken one- a huge split cut in foot and swollen

imagine working in a Chinese factory making these insidious things -unreal

I hate them too! and no way do they last as long as the hype.

[linniec]

I think they last a long time ONLY if they're left on continuously. Since very few lights are left on continuously, the hype is just that. hype.

Stock up on the "good" light bulbs now, That's what I'm doing

[dawnmn]

Yep, they are going to discontinue the old light bulbs. I hate the new ones they take a few seconds to turn on and that drives me crazy. Also, you have to bring the new ones to a special place to dispose of them because they have mercury in them. Didn't we quit using mercury in our thermontors?

in usa i think they will still sell 3 way old bulbs, that have 3 levels of brightness and also 15 and 25 Watt ones

some politicians want to allow us to have freedom to choose

[JanM]

I can get any size bulb here, so now I will buy more and put them in my "bulb box" for future use. I had a close lightening strike here a few weeks ago and have change 4 bulbs thus far.

i hate all electrical stuff on when i sleep

the worst is a cordless phone an answering machine,digital clack,flat screen tv even if its off -its still on or a cell phone even if its not charging

turn the damn things off by power strip

[joy]

it does take getting use to having them on. hubby and i do need just a small amount of light these days tho. cause i seem to wake up in a new world some times, lol and it is best to get an ideal of hopw or where i am when i wake up. so i have mae myself a little bit use to those annoying lights.

I hate the long days of dark we have right now! and seems as though light bulbs sure don't last like they used to. I've also learned I might trip if I don't have night lights,etc. on everywhere. we should be counting our blessings we do have electricity-there are people still without power from Sandy!
