This is not open to discussion.


Why not LED bulbs? Have you ever considered the pollution and pollutants
resulted from manufacturing LEDs?

One heck of a lot less than for the useless compact flourescent -
particularly when you consider the lifespan. In a parts per million
basis they MAY have more lead than incandescent or flourescent bulbs -
but there is a lot less of the bulb to start with. The led "chip" is
pretty tiny. The driver circuitry CAN be built with lead free solder.
- and remember - a GOOD LED will take the place of 10 or more of the
older bulbs.
