I ran across this video the other day and while watching it, i suddenly realized how a small group of citizens could easily: 1) shut down the federal government, 2) make the govt repeal it's mandate on these lightbulbs, or 3)accomplish both objectives.

If there were accidental breakages of these bulbs in key government buildings daily then they would have to shut down the affected buildings and evacuate them each time for at least a few minutes to comply with EPA regulations. I suggest that the EPA headquarters should be high on the list of priorities for possible accidents with these bulbs.

One will wreak just as much havoc as 100 and you don’t need an assault - just Joe Shmoe dropping by his favorite govt bldg on his way home from Walmart and accidentally dropping one out of his Walmart bag.

My idea (put in a post a while back) is to take your used Mercury FLs (I refuse to call them CFLs) and dump them in your nearest post office drop box.....

Let me know when you get to that advertised 20 years. Take a look at some of the LED tail light markers on expensive and import cars (the long lines of LEDs). A lot of the time you see them not working in some partial fashion or not.

It’s not the LED part per se, it’s the power supply conversion (rectification) and voltage regulation parts that can still go south....again, come see me in 20 years and tell me the same thing.

Do away with incandescent, and force us to use these mercury laden, dangerous bulbs requiring msds procedures, and disposal technique is a sure sign Liberals are somewhere in our midst.

Sheer idiocy, and proof positive that Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Further to my previous post LucyT these are the same asshats, the Libs that have screamed for fifty + years about fish being mercury laden, and scaring the “H” out of unsuspecting consumers. Now they insist we use mercury laden lightbulbs requiring a hazmat team to cleanup after when they explode as they are known to do on occasion.

These people have voids in their craniums which cause the gray matter to circumvent them I believe, and that is why they always seem to find ways around commonsense. Their brains, such as they are are accustomed to going around voids, or rather the unknown. The unknown to Liberals that is.

I’ll be dead, but I’ll leave my kids a memo to get back to you.

40w bulb
^^^^^^^^

Have you ever tried to sew or crochet with a 40W bulb?

Forget it. I need ( minimum) 100W

I have three in a stepped chandelier.
Still only 27 w.
