Replaced with metal halide fixture and wife is happy.


Metal halide bulbs contain mercury. So do high pressure sodiums.

Correct, Mercury is now banned. In fact the government plans to have
NASA explode the planet Mercury by the year 2012, using several
one-hundred-gigaton nuclear bombs. They said that once the space
debris stops falling in 100 to 300 years, we should all be safe.

Are they going to get the Lexx and Captain Stanley Tweedle to blow up
the planet Mercury? :-)
