"CFL"? Dirty electric?
http://www.globaltv.com/globaltv/glo....topStory.html
http://www.globaltv.com/globaltv/glo...segment01.html And you thought it only put crap in your radio. turns out these un-researched lights can kill you. 16X9 is a 20X20 north of us. you might want to read the story and watch the videos. and, keep your kids away from them. once again, Big Gov goes with Big Biz, and screw the people.

Ya can thank the k00ks for those CFL's. My advice, stock up on incandescent bulbs. |

Drifter... CFL's are nothing more than screw-in fluroescent lamps loke the types we've had since the 1930's. Remember that fluroescent tube lighting over your head in grade school and at Woolworths store when you were a kid? It's exactly the same thing in a CFL except the tube is a curly- cue shape instead of a long tube. CFL's ane not dangerous same technology we've had since the late 1930's. |

Please don't bother people with facts. Over here, we use almost nothing BUT CFL's (use of incandescent lamps would increase our already exhorbitant power bill at least 2x), and nobody exhibits those symptoms. Anyone ever hear of psychosomatic symptomology? In point of fact, the CFL's that we buy (not necessarily the ones you might buy at Target) are far closer to natural sunlight than are incandescents. |

The old bulbs operated at 60 Hz and the new smaller bulbs operate in the kilohertz range. The other problem is these smaller bulbs are used closer to people increasing the UV damage. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

And just how much UV do you think is actually escaping from the bulb? You'd get way more UV from being outside on a clear day than from being close to a CFL. If they can make CFLs to be used in a photographic lab you know the UV light actually being emitted has to be extremely low. JB |

The phosphors on the inside of the bulb emit visible light when struck by the UV light waves. This is why florescent lights are biased biased toward the blue. The light falls off as an inverse square of the distance so the smaller bulbs closer to you give you UV light at a higher rate. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Give me good old incandescents any day. dxAce Michigan USA |

You get more UV from a few minutes in the sun than you'd get from a year of sitting near a lamp. Edison base light fixtures are getting phased out; so hoarding bulbs is silly. |
