Thanks - I DO think so (mercury would either be used for temperature or
gravity), but the label is pretty stupid ("COntains Mercury. Dispose of
accordingly. lamprecycle.org") it makes it look like the fixture and not the
bulb has the mercury.

"lamprecycle.org" if you went there...does not recycle fixtures or
appliances. It would have explained what your asking.
The "gooseneck" I bought from Staples was a "Tensor" and has a cast-
iron disc in the base. (Works well with CFL)
