this is wrong. in theory, they should last 4 times longer at most. in reality, cfl's burn out prematurely due to overheating. i know of some of the first (Edison) lights that are still on since they were installed in the early 1800's! now that's long!
CFLs last very long, I have had most of mine for 4years now. No bad ones yet. You are the brainwashed one. Fox news tells you what to think you believe it. You are the monkey with the old technology fool.
@stickedU ur an eco friendly cunt... most cfls burn out quickly, and take a while to come to its full brightness. im surprised u havent called the light bulb police on me yet. i got 900 boxes of incandecents buddy
@noreaga12326 eco killer prick, cfls are the best plain and simple, superior light, low energy, and affordable. And no its not worth my time to locate where you live and call the police on you. Eventually you will be caught though. Your way of life and you old fashioned ways are a thing of the past and will be outlawed .
Yes some rooms look better with yellow some with blue some with bright white. That doesnt mean I prefer light bulbs. If anything it shows how superior CFLs are since they come in many different shades and flavors. Nice try
@stickedU do u know why they're TRYING to improve the quality of cfls?? Cuz they know that MOST ppl hate cfls and prefer edison bulbs. if u can seriously tell me that cfls have the same exact color as incandescents, then ur eyes need serious checking. incandescents with more energy effiency are already on the market. And even IF they were to ban ALL incandescents, it would be useless cuz instead of in stores, edisons will end up in ppls homes. Cuz MOST ppl are stocking up.looks like u lose again
@noreaga12326 incandescent bulbs will never be as efficient as CFLs plain and simple. Halogens arent as efficient nor do they have the long life that CFLs have so they are inferior. The only light that is more efficient is the LED.
@stickedU wrong again, Halogen bulbs are not only efficient enough to stay in the market but THEY DO last a long time. I have also heard of many ppl complaining that cfls and leds do not last as long as ppl claim they do. face facts, ur brain washed. not matter what u say, i'm sticking with my edisons. please keep the posts coming. I'm enjoying making a monkey out of u
Light bulbs are no longer the only bulb that gives off soft white. CFLs and LEDs do too. I know someone who works at a home improvement store they say 60 watt CFLs out sell Light Bulbs. CFLs= 45 per week annual sales. Light Bulbs=20per week. So you are wrong. Everyone I know has filled their homes with CFLs get over it, light bulbs are a thing of the past. You lie when you claim everyone is stocking up on them.
@spiker27a This is not true. You most likely bought the daylight bulb and this does have the gloomy look. However if you purchase the soft white which is the same light as the traditional bulb , you will enjoy CFLs. Try it you will be happy.
The average household has 50 light bulbs, with an average life of 10 years. Each CFL bulb contains 20mg of mercury, so the mercury waste from one household is 1 gram every decade. With a toxic TLV of 25 microgrammes per cubic metre, that is potentially 40,000 cubic metres of toxic mercury vapour.
There are 30 million households in the UK alone, so that represents 30 metric tonnes of mercury released every decade, enough to pollute over 1000 cubic kilometres per decade.
To the people always mentioning LED bulbs over CFLs in these video comments, have you converted your house over to LED bulbs yet? Though LEDs will eventually be great for widespread adoption in a decade or so, the current reality is that CFLs are the best bet for for energy efficient lighting today. With nearly 40 light bulbs in my house it would cost me close to 2 grand to convert my house to LEDs.
@unlawlee LED is NOT the future lighting. "Energy Efficient Bulbs" are the future lighting. Incandescents will continue to be available with efficiency. They are already in the market that has 30% less energy than the current incandescents and they're in the process of making them with more efficiency. Those are called Halogen Bulbs. im almost certain that most ppl will use these new Halogen bulbs over CFLs or LEDs. LEDs are not good for home lighting. they're good for parking garages.
@noreaga12326 You are wrong. LEDs have a bright future and are superior over halogen. They key reason is they use much less energy and also last 10 times longer.
@stickedU if thats what makes u sleep at night, then u can believe what u want. All i know is that Halogen bulbs are here and i'm pretty sure that most ppl will prefer them over LEDs or CFLs. Just because you're not proud of your home and would rather make it look like the inside of an hospital, doesnt mean the rest of us do. u have lousy taste in lighting. just to piss u off further, mayb i outa make a video of all the incandescents that i have. what can u do? Call the light bulb police??
@noreaga12326 First of all I am proud of my home. I have a nice well kept up home. Second you are brainwashed by Glenn Beck. The light you are talking about is the daylight bulb, which is blue. No I dont have those in my home, I have soft white CFLs which are the same yellow color as the Light Bulb, and this bothers you very much that your old dirty bulb has a competitor that rivals it in color but is far more efficient. Light Bulb=inferior deal with it.
@stickedU u sort of contridicted urself (yes i spelled that word wrong) u said "I BOUGHT CFLS THAT ARE THE SAME YELLOW COLOR AS THE LIGHT BULB" the only reason why u bought THAT SORT OF CFL is because u know that incandescents look much nicer. u need to admit to urself that you are the governments bitch and u will believe what ever they tell u, even if what they say is FALSE. too bad buddy, im still using incandescents. Oh by the way, im buying 50 boxes of bulbs today. so YOU deal with it :-D
plus, CFL's are much more expensive, contain mercury, lower quality (pinkish) light, 15% LESS LIGHT, and are not dimable

CFL have mercury in them. If you break one, evacuated the house

LEDs are great but still new. They don't have a great lumen/watt ratio as CFLs.

LED bulbs > Fluoresent bulbs > Incandescent bulbs
LED bulbs use far less energy then fluoresent bulbs, dont have any mercury, are shatter/vibation resistant, and have INSANE bulb life.
Most LED bulbs can last over 60,000 hours. Thats a little over 6.8 freaking years!
