• Are you talking about compaq flourescent bulbs, or LEDs? Compaq flourescents have a small amount of mecury in them, but not enough where if one breaks it could do you any harm.
  
  LEDs, which are a lot more efficient then even the compaq flourescent bulbs, are perfectly safe! In fact they%26#039;re probably in your computer, cell phone, and other electronics right now. 9% 1 Vote

• The new fluorescent light bulbs are all made in China by slave labor and contain mercury, and I would not be surprised if the outside of these bulbs are covered in lead. Stuff from China is highly toxic and dangerous.
  
  Now the US government, in another stupid move to sell out American jobs to Chinese communists, is considering banning regular incandescent bulbs in favor of these Chinese atrocities which give off bad light and which will save almost nothing in electricity. Call up your Congressmen and give them hell. 9% 1 Vote
• no, if you eat tuna you would get heaps more mercury from your diet then from any smashed lights. some people get headaches from them because they flicker very quickly but it is very rare.
  
  these new lights actually prevent more Mercury from entering the environment then they cause because coal power stations emit mercury and the energy savings (and reduced Mercury emissions.) of the new lights will offset any mercury in the bulb. 9% 1 Vote
