Hello,
For a couple of days I am doing a research about the issues and common characteristics of energy saving lamps and lamps in general. There are a lot of issues with them, I would not use CFL in each case. For instance, the electric smog and flickering light, they are awful and unhealthy. So much for "They will save the world if they are used consequently". They will control.
You can look on the internet for more information if you are not informed now regarding this subject. Unfortunately, I have no english material for you. But they are not so hard to find. Search engines output a lot to this. This is meant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp
I heard the radiation of them are 10 times (!) stronger than cellphones have. 1-2 metres should taken away from them.
If somebody has more information and material about this, it would be great to post it here. Curiously enough, I did not find here in this forum something about. There are topics about mercury and how to detox (useful things were written by Data there). By the way, CFLs includes mercury. It is saved within a shell admittedly, but if they get broken one day, you might get problems.
An alternative is LED light. As far as I know they do not produce electro smog (at least not many)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led
However, they are similar to strobe light.
I would like to ask you also what kind of lamps you have ore use in your household? Which are harmless in your experience? Do you use filament lamps?
