- What to Do if a Fluorescent Light Bulb Breaks
- What about UV radiation?
- What is the wavelength range of the light radiation that is emitted by CFLs?
- How close can we safely get to an operating CFL?
- Are CFLs going to end up like our supposedly energy-efficient Hybrids and cost more in the end to produce and ship than the energy they save?
