Energy saving light bulbshttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...-room-now.html Are you aware of the dangers with these "envornmentally" friendly items? I saw a leaflet today of a seriously burned foot caused by a shard of glass which came from an energy saving light bulb, it was horrific! The mercury burned a hole almost clean through this guys foot.

Awful! I don't have any; stocked up on regulars when I learned they'll be phasing out the incandescent. |

I absolutely hate them with a passion, useless things, nowhere near as bright as other kind which are getting less & less available  |

I'd no idea they were so evil - can't we have our old sort back? Edited to say: I am a fan of the daylight bulbs - lovely natural light. Don't know what nasties they contain though. |

I use as many as I can, but they aren't as good as the regular type which I believe they are phasing out. |

Normally I'm all for ecologically good and green, but don't mess with my light bulbs, please .... they just are NOT as bright, although they supposedly are. |

I know they aren't good for migraines of which I get far too often, grrr.. and I am all for green living so I try and sit as far away as possible from them, that and my laptop and sunshine are triggers. I also seem to remember an article a while ago whereby a proff. sweared blind that these bulbs were making him ill after being near one for just a few minutes. He was trying to get the government to have concessions for people who suffer regularly from things such as migraines.. So for all those who want ordinary light bulbs in the future just ask and I'll see what I can do..!  |
