I hate the CFL bulbs! I have had two that burned out start to melt the plastic they are mounted in! If I hadn't been home and smelled the burning plastic, my house could have gone up in flames. They are a health hazard and not many people dispose of them the right way. I thought the environmentalists were all up in arms about the former president not doing enough about lowering Mercury levels in our ground water. Now they are so happy that the only bulbs we will be able to buy release mercury when broken. Huh? You have to call HAZMAT if you break one in your house. Just ridiculous. There. I said it.
