They damn well better NOT contain mercury. :(( My sense is they do last longer, at least the ones from Home Depot. I don't know yet about the cheapies from Ikea that we just purchased @3 for $3.99).
Curt - you are hardly a moderate. You are a green zealot, in the best sense of both words. :) On 2/7/07, Allan Streib <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I started doing this, and found that they don't last any longer than incandescent, and are much more expensive, so I stopped. With the lifespans I've experienced, I doubt that the savings in electricity is going to offset the premium I paid for the bulb (though I haven't actually done the math). Plus don't they contain mercury? What do you do with them when they burn out. -- 1983 300D 1966 230 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
