Our local POCO, is giving away thousands of CFL lamps in their Rock the Bulb event. I went to one where I turned in ten incandescent lamps and got my choice of 10 CLFs in 6 styles.
"Rock the Bulb has distributed more than 182,000 energy-saving CFL bulbs to PSE residential electric customers so far! Installed, these bulbs represent over 42 million kWh of electricity saved, over $7.8 million saved on energy bills, and greenhouse gas emissions equal to taking over 3,800 cars off the road for a year" (From PSE)
The CFLs being given our are good quality. At our local Home Store, there were about 1300 who showed up for the exchange.
And for those of you who are concerned about mercury in CFLs, a recent article in the IES LD+A Journal (thats the lighting association magazine) states the amount of mercury you are exposed to from a broken CFL lamp is equal to a nibble of a tuna fish sandwich.
I have asked the author of that article to allow it to be sent out as a mike holt newsletter.
