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.

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.

Mercury gas is much heavier than air and, it will thus remain near the ground level and will easily entrain itself into anything it touches , including carpets Carpet munchers, beware!
To: Truthoverpower
Mercury is fun.
As a kid we used to get to poke it around on a flat surface when not holding it in our hands.
How did we ever survive?

Just wondering. Do the long tubes that homes and businesses have been using for decades (and which folks often enjoy smashing) have the same issues? Should we fear the tubes as well?

I have a friend whose house caught fire from a CFL. The fire inspector told him CFLs are dangerous.
