Do you use any of the new energy saving lightbulbs.?

Question

You know, that look like some kind of electric ice cream cone:)

Answer 1

Yep. We are very green in my house. Every lightbulb in the whole house is energy efficient, we recycle plastic, paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, food scraps etc. I love the Earth & want her to be clean for my children, so I'm doing my part.

Answer 2

There's not much mercury in a lightbulb, but its not safe to breathe. Eventually the small amount will dissipate but as the Clinton Administration's expert scientists said...There's no safe level of mercury exposure. Its a risk, but a small one. The only issue is if you have dozens of CFL bulbs and have a habit of breaking them a lot in your house. LED's will replace CFL's and incandescents once the prices become reasonable and manufacturers make them in bulk. One option to look at: Skylights, and even adding a window or two.

Answer 3

I changed over about 2 years ago...it does make a difference...u just cant put them in an enclosed light...like in the kitchen where u have an enclosed light over the sink...(most are enclosed)

Yes, every time I need to replace an old one, I buy a compact flouresent. They are great for those areas that are hard to reach because they don't need to be replaced nearly as often.

Yes. Outdoor lights.
