First CFL's contain mercury,and second they emit radiofrequency radiation and ultr-violet radiation. CFL's do not contain diffusers which mitagate the UV, unlike incandescent bulbs which do. Use of CFL's are making people sick and schools in the US and Canada are removing them. One California school removed CFL's after about 40% of the students and staff become ill with headaches, insomnia, dizziness, loss of concentration. Search for info on "dirty electricity" and read recent Milham/Morgan study on Calif School. See also bioinitiative.org.

The bulbs we have are a nice warm colour, you wouldnt even know that the 5 bulbs in our lounge (3 x 4 watt ones in a single tall paper covered ikea lamp and two 5 watt ones in uplighters) only add up to 22 watts!! that would be compared to say 3*40 + 2*60 = 240 watts!
