Apartment now 100% CFL lit

I'm doomed as well. I used to play with the stuff at home all the time in the 60's.

Me as well. My dad had a jar of it and that stuff is so much fun to play with.

And remember all the hoopla over mercury in fish? What a scam. Only secondhand smoke does less damage than that.

With the protective covers now available the mercury shouldn't be a big concern.

Do all CFL bulbs now have these covers?

Not all, but you can replace the majority of them with the protective covers on them. I will say they do cost a bit more, but they are worth it in my opinion. The money you spend you will recoup in savings.

How can you tell, by looking at a CFL on the shelf, whether it has the cover? What does a covered CFL unit look like?

all of our lightbulbs within our apartment (including the basement and excluding the fridge) are now compact fluorescent bulbs.

I thought that they'd all be that annoying ultra bright white with a tinge of yellow but they're really just like regular old bulbs.

neat!

I need a bigger plasma tv....

The price of tea where?
