Though I think you may want to check your reference. It does not contain evidence to support your claim.
It refers to just about every reason a bulb could blow except your own.

Don't buy the cheap CFL bulbs at dollar stores (99cent stores ECT ECT ) they are substandard ones made in china and in some cases may be rejects that
should have been scraped.
The off label ones they sell are extremely cheaply made and are unsafe.
Get your CFL bulbs from a well known company name
If the ballast housing comes apart on your CLF bulb that is one sign that its a substandard one in that the good ones are glued so that you would have to break the housing plastic.

One thing to look for in a UL number,on the light housing many of the dangerous ones have it only on the package or no UL number
This does not rule out counterfeit numbers being used by the Chinese but its less likely to be the bad ones

Well, as a bass player, I've seen much more, and including light bulbs, lying at my feet. No matter, has nothing immediately to do with what I already said. As for the given reference not supporting my claim, it surely does since my reply to another poster was about exploding lightbulbs, and yup, they do explode. My personal experience about the spear is an anecdote from me, and it happened. There could be one simple explanation, the stem shot off caused by other events that are in my reference, because it was not properly secured in the first place.

Of course. If it would make LED cheaper asap. That's the main point. I mean no taxes on any LED to let useful technology grow. Because we all obviously need to get rid of CFL.
Oh, the sun is rising. I should switch that 23W, 2700K CFL off and have some sleep.

LED is the future and big business already - that's the only reason why it's still so expansive. We just need more better and cheaper LEDs from China.
How about North America start making its own LEDs and take business away from China while raising tariffs and taxes simultaneously on imports FROM China.

so what your saying is it is the realistic outcome of unchecked greed,
i agree with that, someone or something needs to put it in check, our discussing it here is the start of spreading awareness which is the only way we may hope to get such a check put in place

Here is a link with the colour emitted by LED-light bulbs:
www.lumicrest.com...
I guess this is the way to go. The light is very similar with the natural light, giving you a very good mood especially in the long winters with
short day-light. In regards to price, 30 000 of hours for the LED-life would bury about 15 average incandescent bulbs. and about 4 fluorescent ones.
God one for some years, always on (LED one), guess it is somewhere around 20 000 hours still perfectly fine.

Yes, Iv heard that the LED light are not very great for the health of the eyes. Not sure what to say about it, we are now using TVs and Monitors based on this light, hopefully we will not be a land of the blind one day lol. I used them for several years now, my eyesight is not affected yet haha.

I replaced all of my bulbs with CFLs when they came out. My eyes are fried! I'm not sure if it is from the bulbs, computer monitors or just old age. I like the illumination of the old bulbs much better.
