cfl failure and near fire
I also will no longer use CFL bulbs. The Environmental Protection Agency or some governmental consumer protection or energy information source has an obligtion to inform the public about the fire danger. Perhaps a media source? I started researchng this topic because last night a CFL burned and smoked as described in other comments on this site. I am a senior citizen. Luckily this occurred in the evening and the crackling sound and smell alerted me.
I also have had only a 4-6 month CFL bulb-life useage in a kitchen fixture which admittedly is frequently turned off and on. As I write this, the government is dealing with a fuel spill off the Louisiana coast which was not supposed to occur. Are these CFLs another problem in the making?
