If the mercury vapor escapes from the bulb, how does it stay lit?

And LED’s are coming down in price and out perform CFL’s
It is ok to be “green” even if you are conservative.

I have “shocking truth” fatigue. As well as, “one weird trick to...” fatigue.

I throw dead CFLs in the trash. The f’ing government mandates them; the f’ing government can deal with them. Not my problem.

I’ve been using them for the past ten years or so. They save a ton of money on the electric bill. And if you get the right brand, they are a pleasant color.
I think over the years we have broken ONE bulb. We cleaned it up carefully. No problems.
Our electricity here in Vermont is extremely expensive. We have one large room in the house—a combination kitchen, dining, study, family meeting, and all-purpose room. When we bought the house it had twenty 100 watt bulbs around the ceiling. Now it has twenty 13 watt bulbs. A little dimmer than it was, but bright enough to cook, read, work with computers, or whatever. And it’s down from 2,000 watts to 260 watts. The rest of the house is much the same.

You’re not supposed to throw those in the trash.
You’re supposed to hold onto them until you at least two dozen — and then dump them at the door of the nearest EPA office about an hour or two before it opens.
That way they will be properly disposed of by people who know how.

Here's four pages of instructions from the
EPA detailing what to do to clean up a broken CFL. Step one: Buy a hazmat suit.

Fluorescent Lamps contain and operate on exciting MERCURY VAPORThere is nothing exciting about mercury vapor, particularly if it's loose in your house.

APPARENTLY.

I'm all set with is probably a life time supply of 100 watt light bulbs.
I save electric light use by walking around the house with a flashlight when it's dark, instead of turning the lights on.
