The squiggly bubs don`t fit the fixtures in my hallway.
The squiggly bubs don`t provide enough light to read the EPA s four page document on how to clean up after one breaks .

How true. And I have a lot of lampshades and glass fixtures made to fit over the regular bulbs, none will fit over those damn cfl’s.

Someone work was talking about the cleanup process with these bulbs the other day. He said it’s a six or seven step process. That’s crazy.

“The squiggly bubs don`t fit the fixtures in my hallway.”

The new bulbs are extremely heat sensitive. They’re dangerous in enclosed fixtures as they catch fire. I’ve had this happen twice.

So all those less expensive enclosed bathroom fixtures and outside porch globes have to be replaced.
