- no, I had it backwards. the new ones are less juicy. I just hate the light. - loosilu Nov 2, 14:04 4
  - agree with the IM -- nm - znufrii Nov 2, 14:09
  - Fluorescents are not being phased out. Their efficiency standards have been raised. There are new ones on the shelves right now that meet the standard -- nm - mara Nov 2, 14:06 2
    - once again: I had them backwards. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 14:06 1
      - Sorry, I meant incandescent. The one you actually thought was being phased out. It isn't. -- nm - mara Nov 2, 14:14
- i think loosilu was confusing cfls with old timey bubs. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 2, 14:03
oh wait, she doesn't like the CFLs. I hate them, personally. The light is a horrid color and they are not nearly as bright as they claim. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 14:01 5
- I'm not an artiste, so I don't need pure light. I just want to know why they're the devil. -- nm - drumstick jones Nov 2, 14:03 1
  - what tru said. they contain a small amount of mercury, which means they should be specially recycled, not thrown out. -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 14:15
- Color varies a lot. -- nm - psilotum Nov 2, 14:03 1
  - from pukey to ugly. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 14:04
- Oh yeah, well you're not nearly as bright as you claim! -- nm - CFLs Nov 2, 14:03
