The thing is ALL cfls contain mercury. It's bad for you/family/pets should it break in your home. I have grown with the household type but always had airy buds

LED household bulbs do a much better job, last 5-1-xs longer and are environmentally friendly

I also have an 8 bulb HOT5 (mercury) testing 4 x 4ft LED tubes to eventually replace HO5 bulbs with LED tubes

9.5w WW Crees are $12.97, the CW is a few $$$ more

Captainmorgan has a thread using just them- it's a mind-blower for sure
