They, like so many neo-cons, get a hard time on environmental issues, and these globes, are to replace the conventional the carbon 'filament' -type light... I've got a few, and they are atrociously bright, and such a white light, and they can't be used with dimmer-switches..<BR/>and then there's the potential hazards outlined in OP.<BR/>Thanks Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull. The fool couldn't come-up with a comprehensive policy, so he just sought to outlaw the older type light...<BR/>And Australian gov. wonders why their electorate think they are useless with environmental issues. <BR/>Whether these or a similar replacement represent a good idea, outlawing conventional light-globes isn't a full environmental policy, <BR/>oh! wait, they want to introduce Nuke-power (something that isn't used in Australia, and as a suggestion, is as popular stepping in dog-dirt)<BR/><BR/>** Thanks for highlighting the potential danger, of which I wasn't aware, that is associated with these devices.
