All I know are these new light bulbs suck. I have difficulty reading under them.

And we have far too much sex on the television. I keep falling off.

Seriously, if the light bulbs suck, you probably have them screwed in reverse. Screw them in the opposite direction, and they will emit, instead of sucking. No wonder you have difficulty reading.

"All I know are these new light bulbs suck. I have difficulty reading under them."

Then you're not buying the ones with the appropriate spectral output. The article is pretty simplistic in its description of CFL's. There are several varieties with different "color temperatures". The normal CFL's have more blue emission, but there are "warm white" versions that duplicate incandescent spectra more closely.

If you have your light-bulb installed to emit, you have a Light Emitting Diode, or LED. If you have your light-bulb installed to suck, you probably have LSD.

If each household breaks 3 bulbs per year either by accident or indirectly by sending them to a landfill...

What if, say, each of 100,000 households breaks about a dozen CFLs all within a minutes of each other by sending them to a wasteland, such as northeast coastal Japan?
