Don’t say I didnt tell you!
A recent news item on BBC Breakfast revealed that there is a higher recycling cost for Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) due to the mercury content. But you knew that as we revealed it in March 2007!
Energy efficient lamps get better all the time but you do need to choose carefully so, if in doubt, contact a lighting and/or recycling specialist. Remember, when CFLs do come to the end of their natural life you can’t just throw them in the bin.
Keep watching as improvements in the standard incandescent lamps may yet prove to be a considerable obviating the need for CFL.
One response so far
They’re too big for most light fittings and shades, they don’t give off much light, break easily, look ugly and cost loads.
Not much incentive to buy them is there really!
