Philips is now using 2mg IIRC.

The new Extreme Low Mercury designated products can be recognised by a logo on
the packaging and product. These include the MASTER PL-L , PL-TOP and PL-C
ranges which have been reduced to 1.4mg and the MASTER CFL-I ranges which are
all lower than 2 mg whereas the lighting industry benchmark is between 2.4mg
-8mg.
