This webpage tracks the use of CFL bulbs to decrease carbon emissions and save energy.

Check out this website, change a bulb, and spread the word.

well that is one awsome site every one here using bio or svo ought to replace one or more bulbs with cf bulbs I mean they arent that costly and will save you some green backs in the end personally I replaced nine bulbs here and I plan to get another box and finish the job

I haven't used incandescent bulbs for years, preferring the CF and LED lights (gentler on my battery banks and 1.5kw invertor) I got a great deal on white LED christmas light strings, which are now my porch lights. 100 of them draw a total of just 2 amps, and are brilliant.

So far only North America and Australia are making the move.

Seems like Europe has been lukewarm and the rest are not really into it.

OK, time to promote this site!

It's even better when you plug them into a Solar System.

Unfortunately, 12V CFL and 12V CCFL (Cold Cathode fluorescent Lights) are kind of hard to come by.

Hi friends

This is great idea. I think every member of this site should appreciate it.

Just remember that the Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFLs) contain a toxic level of mercury.

Should you break one, you would be better off calling a haz-mat team to clean it up versus risking touching it yourself.

Sorry to have to break this news to you but the mainstream media isn't about to tell you this...

No link in this post yet but a google search of "deadly mercury in CFLs" should bring up lots of fun info.

I'd go with LEDs. Nothing deadly there.
