Buyers beware, the 60 cent 100 watt incandescent light bulb,will be replaced by a $3.40 fluorescent more energy efficient bulb om 01.01.12. keep in mind the new bulbs are supposed to last 6 to 10 times longer, but the new bulbs do have some issues.
The first thing I want to point out here is the Government is making decisions for us again, force feeding us these bulbs to us whether we like them or not. There are actually Republicans on the Hill that trying to overturn the Energy Idependence and Security Actof 2007.
U.S. Rep.Joe Barton R-TX, sais the new bulbs pose a health risk beecausethey contain a small amount of mercury. The EPA has posted a list of clean-up instructions, in case one of the new bulbs breaks.
A clean-up list for a light bulb ? Here it is :
* have people and pets leave the room.
* air out the room for 5-10 minutes.
* shut off heatjng/or A/C system.
* be through cleaning up glass and visible powder.
* place clean-up material in a sealable container.
* put all bulb debris and clean-up materials outdoors in a trash containeror protected area.
*continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken.
* leave the heating/or A/C system shut-off for several hours
WOW ! all this if you break a light bulb, which the Government says is better for you !
I'm going to go out and round up as many of the old bulbs I can get my hands on.
Yours in Liberty !
