Mercury...that substance they've been trying to get rid of from thermometers, fillings and most every other substance. It is almost like they don't see what is going to happen to the lamps when they are disposed. There is a time and place for both types of lamps...personally, in the home, I like the tungsten lamps for most things...in a workshop...florescents.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-21-2007 08:15 PM                     I agree... I like tungsten at home... Halogen desk lamps are nice too. The florescents will somewhat disappear eventually... probably not totally though. It will be interesting over the next 5 to 7 years as the world shifts more towards LED lighting. The big problem at this point it the cost of a 100 watt medium base lamp equivelent is about 90 bucks.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 11-22-2007 07:07 AM                     What gets me about LED lights (for lighting) is that they tend to put the LED(s) in the middle of a reflector pointing out (like in an LED flashlight). The problem is, most LEDs radiate from its tip mostly...it would be better to point the LED into the reflector so the reflector could collect the light and focus it. As a general rule, I hate LED flashlights...don't like the color and I can't see as well with them. Note, on clip on work lamps...a plus to flourescents is the lack of heat on the unit when you are done...no cool down time. Then again, I like my "rough service" tungsten lamps because they are not as fragile. You can drop kick those lamps, even when hot, and they keep going.  |  IP: Logged
