I have a question.......
All those teeny tiny little lights that light up all over my computer system, there are dozens of them,
on plugged in memory stick, on PC tower, on-switch of monitor, row of them on the cable modem, a row of them on the router, the telephone, the printer, the scanner, the speakers, I could go on and on.

What kind of bulbs are they? Will they be outlawed along with the regular light bulbs or are they going to make teeny tiny little fluorescent bulbs for them too?

Those are LEDs (light emitting diodes). Companies are working on producing those sorts of lights for all purposes, I believe. I’d be willing to try them, but the compact fluorescents have failed my test.

Those tiny lights on computers, modems etc. are LED (light emitting diodes)that are even more efficient than CFL bulbs and DO NOT contain hazardous mercury. Larger LEDs that could illuminate your home are starting to be available.
