  Compact fluorescent light bulbs have long been known to contain
  poisonous liquid mercury, but a study released earlier this year shows
  the level of mercury vapor released from broken bulbs skyrockets... more info

• florescent light bult
  Sure they do save on electricity and last longer however people are not seeming to mention that they contain toxic mercury, which can be ingested or inhaled when they break. Also nobody ever talks about how florescent lights are not natural lighting and can cause seasonal depression or SAD. I will stick with my full spectrum natural lighting or open the shades , its alot less toxic to my health.

• Not good...
  I currently have these bulbs, but yet I received an email from a family member letting me know that these bulbs contain mercury, very dangerous. If dropped you have to go through specific directions to clean it up as well as disposal if they do go out.
  I won't be buying anymore, even though they do last a long time. :( I'm too clumsy to worry about the mercury.

• Great small fluorescent bulb
  This fluorescent bulb comes in a small form factor (this is ultra-mini). Definitely smaller than a normal light bulb, and purportedly will save you $34/bulb over the life of the bulb.
  After reading some of the reviews here, I tried out all the bulbs when they arrived, just to make sure that they didnt break on the ship over. All the bulbs worked (despite the skimpy padding in the box), so no complaints here!
