Re: Anyone moved to LED Lighting?



I'm not sure if it's CFL envy, or what. But I've seen signs
in back of stores, that fluorescent tubes are disposed
differently than rest of the trash. So, there is some effort
to contain the mercury.

Lets not overlook the fact that florescent lights have been
around for
a Looooooong time. The traditional tubes that light the
entire world
of retail, manufacturing, hospitals, schools, public
buildings,
offices, etc, are each much bigger and contain a lot more
mercury tha
a CFL. No one ever really got upset about those. and In
fact, they are
still being used to light the world, and CFL haters don't
seem to know
they exist.

The only thing "new" about CFL's is their size and shape.
Otherwise,
its' VERY old technology.
