Why do energy efficient light bulbs have to have mercury in them?
not too long ago, mercury thermometers were a threat, and now those light bulbs scare me if one were to break. I am about to replace the few CFL’s and replace with global warming causing light bulbs for my own safety, what do you think?
They have been around for a long time. Mercury handles ionized pressure,temperatures and longevity better then sodium. In a nut shell more bang for the buck. Absolutely nothing to do with environmental factors, just production and retail. It’s what they call a mask product.
