If you look for deals, you'll find some great sales. I replaced my flood with LED floods in the kitchen and they look great. Another plus is that most LED bulbs are dimmable where many Cfl bulbs are not.

Multiply that "small amount of mercury" in the CFLs
and what do you have?
Tons of mercury from millions of light bulbs
and another contaminated land fill,
that leaches to God know where else.

Yeah -- another great move.
Doesn't anyone ever think about the consequences???
