Too much danger. I installed it one in a small table lamp. Dog antics knocked over the lamp, and the bulb broke while it was on, which is the worst time for it to break because the mercury is a gas. I immediately ventilated and closed off the room, and days later (i.e. when I had time) I went in and spent two hours or so cleaning up (and even then I didn't go to the lengths that were recommended).

I do not need that.

Also, about half of my lights have the dial light switch, which lets a continuously variable amount of power through the bulb, and CF bulbs are not made for those.
