CFL's have small amounts of mercury in them. Millions of people do not know how to dispose of them leading to increases of mercury in our land fills. HELLO thought we were trying to save the planet not kill it. Love the LED idea. Ship them out I'll buy some.

@EricCirca6566 most of us also dont want shitty CFLS. there other ways to save the planet.

@jsh78mang led bulbs also have mercury and other hazardous materials, though way less than CFLs

also note the big amounts of plastic and electronics (electrolytic capacitors with who know what in them etc)

and not to mention the energy it costs to produce all that

if there really needs to be something else than incandescent bulbs, let it be halogens

I have some 60 watt equivalent philips bulbs, I could never get used to the sickly pale green-white of the CFLs, these things are a hundred times better.

incandescent beat the shit out of everything else, i mean did you saw the demo? the filaments light are way way brighter.

@dauvi101 in my view, LEDs dont give off the same nice light as regular bulbs do. They say that LEDs are improving, but according to this video, their light quality would look better on head lights or traffic lights. Not House lighting.

[dauvi101]

The amount of mercury in CFL or HID is less than the amount of a can tuna fish. The hysteria on incandescent light source is not right. Up to 40W, the incandescent/halogen lamp serves well as on/off light for short time light purposes (visiting toilet/basement/etc). Within 20 years our household/officescan run on solar energy. We have no carbon (CO2) burden, so why can't we use these very cheap (and no toxic metals as in LED) light sources?

@trashvillecat007 edison's invention is a lot better than the idiot who wanted to invent cfls. And im sure MOST ppl can agree on that. they're light quality is shitty. just for the record, i happen to light flourecent lights but the old skool kinds. like the tubes and circular versions. u say that edison wasnt a great inventer which means that ur house probably looks like the inside of a bus station's bathroom. you have lousy taste in lighting. i would hate to see how ur house looks like.

[noreaga12326]

@bronzeonion I'm not a fan of the LEDs either. For years, these greenies have been trying so hard to convince people that cfls and leds are getting better. Thats all a crock of shit. they're lighting quality is still as shitty as when they started making them. They say that they're getting better so that we're scammed into buying their products. i'm sticking with normal edison bulbs

Im not a fan of the LED idea. I mean look at 3:29, the LED's look like bike lights! LED's should stick to TV's, Headlights and Signs
