Have to use the CFL light bulbs for 100 watts.
Why doesn't the OSHA ban the Curly Fry light bulbs? The mercury in them is toxic if they break. And they stop working because that same mercury vapor has all leaked out.
Mercury is a potent neurotoxin, and it's especially dangerous for children and fetuses. Most exposure to mercury comes from eating fish contaminated with mercury,
Some states, cities and counties have outlawed putting CFL bulbs in the trash, but in most states the practice is legal.
It would be very interesting if some of those states outlawed their sale and use altogether.
Remind any one of the MTBE in gasoline, which use to be mandated, but now fortunately longer used.
Science by politics? No, business by politics. Outlaw something and the replacement gets very profitable. Just look at which companies have made a fortune with this. And who do they support?
Well when they start banning the CFL it is time to invest in the companies that can still make incandescent light bulbs, and of course LED lights.
