How many of you are buying CFLs: Compact Flourescent Lightbulbs and are you going to recycle them?

Feb 16, 2007 by +bookish+ | Posted in Alternative Fuel Vehicles

I righteous heard a story on NPR about how they have high levels of Mercury and it's really important to dispose of them safely.
miserable I should've done spellcheck, Fluorescent

At this tip I have no where local to recycle them. Oddly enough I have some that are 4 or more years old (have been in our house since before we moved in) And others barely make it a week. Some of this is because we are away to several transformers one for the local High School.

I still use a fair number of incandescent due to fixtures not fitting the full ones.

Yes, I will be recycling them but I am pre-eminently focused on buying LEDs as they are even more efficient than CFLs.

Do CFLs (Compact Flourescent Lightbulbs) come in varieties that look like regular lightbulbs?

Jul 13, 2006 by Clayton B | Posted in Alternative Fuel Vehicles

I've only seen the whorl/curly ones and the ones that look like a tuning fork. Is there anything else?

Yes. You can get "world" style CFLs, which use a plastic sphere to enclose the spiral or U-shaped tubes. There are also reflector CFLs becoming for recessed lights. Major manufacturers are Philips, MaxLite, and TCP.

Do you use compact flourescent lightbulbs at adroit in or at work, or wherever? How much does it cost per bulb and are they really good?

i have many of them in my living quarters and while their alright their not as bright as regular bulbs. having said that the new lights save much electricity. i have found them at the dollar stockpile from time to time for a dollar. haven't seen them there for a while but bought a three pack or 4 pack from conversant with depot.
try to buy them in multiples for instance a bulb rated 25 watts
is supposed to produce the sparkle of a 100 watt bulb. i only buy the equivalent of 65 watt and 100 watt bulbs. they cant be old with a dimmer.
hope that helps ya.
