Compact Florescent Lightbulbs: A Fun Video
Posted by tinagleisner
From Incandescent to CFLightbulbs
Most people have heard about Compact Florescent Lightbulbs or CFLs, but how many of you really understand why we should all be switching to them versus the incandescent bulbs we grew up with. Change doesn’t come easy for many of us, and yet life today is VERY different from just 10 years ago. You might not recall that 50 years ago, most people had a single television and it was black & white! More than 20% of households today rely solely on cell phones, which very few people had 10 years ago.
Enjoy this GREAT Video About CFLs
Yes, I really do find the videos from CommonCraft.com short, great at delivering sometimes hard to understand concepts and … fun to watch. Enjoy the show and if you have other questions about CFLs, just leave a comment below and I’ll get back to you.
Safety Note: CFL bulbs contain mercury so you need to dispose of the lightbulbs carefully. You should check the EPA map to find the rules governing disposal in your area … and even breaking a bulb by accident, requires special precautions.
