No,15 watts vs 5 watts is NOT "three times more efficient." It is TWO times more efficient. A Geek should know his math. The important word in the statement is "more." Zero times more efficient would be of equal wattage. One time MORE efficient is 1/2 the wattage. Two times more is 1/3. <<--Bingo! Three times more would be 1/4. Oops, that's a lie!!

CFL Flourescents contain mercury while LEDs do not. Never vacuum up shards of a broken CFL bulb as the vacuum can disperse the mercury in the air and into your house. Try and use a dust pan and broom where ever possible and dispose the shards responsibly.

What does this guy have against space heaters? It's 27 degrees here. I don't mind a little extra heat from my lights. If light bulbs waste most of its energy as heat, then that means my furnace wastes all of its energy as heat. Should we outlaw furnaces and space heaters?

CFL';s more environmentally freindly? WRONG!. teh are more toxic and it is much more harmful to teh environment to manufacture these things. and it produces high levels of electromagnetic radiation and what they call dirty electricity. to put it a simple way. use CFL's get cancer. Get it? LED's are ok but still contain carcinogenic material. incandescent is the safest as far as your health and the environment is concerned. look at the waste produced form manufacturing. you'll see.

"Eco" Geek huh? Funny how this ecogeek failed to mention the environmentally poisonous mercury that is in every CFL bulb. And if you drop and break it in your house you have to call a HazMat team to come and dispose of it.
