I have had great luck with CFLs. And LED. The Straight PL types from Philips invention started the CFL revolution. Straight are slightly more efficient, bending the glass causes some of the phosphors to not perform to optimum, by a tiny amount, but it certainly shrunk the lamp to fit everywhere.

Sidieblooming - A fluorescent light has to have mercury to work. It is the mercury in vapor form that strikes the phosphor coating of the lamp that makes it glow and give off light. The guy that invented the CFL at GE, tired a number of different ways to make them work with other elements and some of them did give off light, but they never reached the same level of lumen per watt that the standard mercury filled CFL makes.

We had a major change in our electric company pricing structure years ago. My one bedroom apartment electric bill went from around $22 dollars a month to nearly $50 bucks, with no change in my consumption. As I grappled with trying to make sense of it all, I made the decision to switch out all the 40 to 100 watt light bulbs I used with lower wattage CFL equivalents. Yep, it was a few bucks, but the lower bill, with the new pricing, I received from that point on was worth it. These bulbs do have an impact on your usage.

There are testing laboratories which carry out a huge variety of test conditions for all kinds of light sources we see everyday to find out how they behave. They use a halogen sniffer, the same one garages use to detect halogen leaks from a car engine, and that thing started screaming when it was held above the CFL lamp. I've seen it on a serious TV documentary about the light bulb cartel founded in 1925-1947-Today. That's why light bulbs don't live more than 2000 pre-designed hours!

I bought e149698 bulbs at home depot about 7 years ago, they are all automatically controlled to come on every day at sunset, and turn off 2.5 hours later. In addition to this, there are motion sensors that have the lights come on for 4 min intervals, and this occurs about 3 times every night. With the short cycling included, I would estimate any one bulb has about 7500 hours on it. I have never had to replace any of these type.

You won't believe how Subjective the members of the KZitem are. I am an engineer and I can say this. CFLs are good idea at some places but not at the other. It’s excellent idea mainly at places where it’s hot and Air Conditioners are used all the time. In this case, if the package says each bulb will save you $50 in electricity. It will actually save you more than $150 in electricity due to the reduced cooling cost from your AC.

the incandescent light bulb works on the basis that the filament is bombarded by electrons which vibrate it and thus cause it to emit light. However it releases more heat then light just because heat itself is vibration of the atoms. no matter wat alloy u use more heat will be released

The CFLs that light up instantly soon go black at the ends and fail after a short life. The material that coats the cathodes (filaments) gets ripped away and coats the inside of the tube black. The ones that start dull and take 1-2 seconds to come up to full brightness last WAY longer. Their filaments get to full heat before much voltage is applied to the ends of the tube. We set up a 10 watt conventional tube on an electronic ballast using this method and got 300,000 starts before we gave up.

I know that lead free solder is banned in medical electronics and in aerospace electronics, they have to use good old 60:40 or something similar in those. One other problem it often has is the formation of tin whiskers apparently, the lead puts a stop to it. It's no big seal using lead free solder on a copper water line, even though the old lead stuff never really harmed anyone there either, but the last thing you want is a piece of navigation gear shorting out from tin whiskers at 40,000 feet.

I replied to the other guy's comment already (he was wrong), but I seriously doubt broken incandescent bulbs emit tungsten - it's a metal with a famously high melting point (3,422 degrees Celsius) and solid at room temperature (unlike mercury). To get gaseous tungsten you'd have to heat it to the boiling point, which is 5,555 deg. C (normal lightbulb operating temperature is usually about 3000 deg. C)

These CFL lamps require a high frequency converter to start and operate the gas trapped inside the glass tube. They're normally NOT shielded in any way which sends out high frequency interfering signals due to the internal high operating voltage. The glass tube is not 100% seal proof, there is a certain leak rate which allows the gas and mercury to exit the tube over time and climb towards your home ceiling with the help of thermodynamics. Test smell one of your CFL bulbs: smells pretty bad!

At places where no A/C and no heater used (outdoor for example) the electricity saved is same as what’s shown on the package (in this example, it would be $50) At places where Heater are used most of the time, the electricity you saved is much less than $50 (you probably wouldn’t even save any at all) so it’s a bad idea to use CFL. And yes, I do have CFLs last more than 10,000 hours (I have some part of the business must be illuminated 24/7/365 and those bulbs last more than 1.5Year)

But there's a ways to go yet before they're a practical consumer product, much less one accepted by the general public which is still fighting against CFLs because they look funny (I'm dead serious, that's a very common argument). Only recently have I seen any LED lights that can function as direct bulb replacements in stores and only a couple at that; everything else are low-output devices (like nightlights) or those bizarre lamps.
