I look at it from an efficiency standpoint. Ideally, a light source would mimic daylight, and produce as many lumens per watt as the state of the art will allow. If you're concerned about contamination from heavy metals, then every incandescent, fluorescent, metal-arc, and halogen lamp ever produced is an environmental disaster waiting to happen.

That’s disinformation.

No hazmat procedures were ever needed to dispose of an incandescent bulb.

Again, how many people do you know who use CFL bulbs dispose of them properly?

Communists love creating environmental disasters because they accrue power ‘solving’ them.
