I use CFL's. In my house, and in my indoor garden. They're much much more efficient than incandescents, and provide a superior spectrum of light.
As a matter a fact, I cant believe stores are still trying to sell the old incandescent bulbs.
But as these new bulbs gain popularity, there is something to consider that most of us know nothing about. Mercury poisoning.
Now I dont want to rain on anyone's parade or anything like that. Like I said I use these bulbs too, and plan on continuing to do so.
I know most of you are aware that there's some mercury in these bulbs and that its not necessarily a good thing. But they bulbs are perfectly safe. Right?? I mean, they wouldn't make and sell a product that they knew was harmful to you or your environment would they??? The answer is yes. Anything for money, you know how it is.
Anyway it turns out that mercury could be a bigger problem than what they originally thought.
Read for yourself.
Mercury in Compact Fluorescent Bulbs More Hazardous than Previously Thought
I just though you should know. Someone decided for you already, that these bulbs are safe. But you do have the opportunity to find the facts and decide for yourself.
Happy growing!
