Compact fluorescent bulbs - Worth the risk?
While some consumers have found serious shortcomings with the bulb, especially a shortened life span, it was also discovered that the bulbs contain a small amount of mercury, a neurotoxin, which is highly dangerous to humans and animals. Whereas a normal filament bulb might be tossed in the trash, a CFL should properly recycled. Unfortunately, as of this date there are no certified recycling centers for the bulbs in or around Bates County.
The photo above shows another possible problem, where the ballast overheated and caught fire. Fortunately the homeowner was on site when it happened and quickly extinguished the flames. According to data from the U.S. Fire Marshal web site, although rare, the bulbs to occasionally catch fire due to heat build up in the base. For safest operation, It is recommended that the bulbs not be placed in any type of recessed fixture including ceiling fans with glass globes. Used bulbs should be recycled properly whenever possible.
