: As I understand it, the published life spans of CFLs, believe it or

: +1 on the nasties on dead CFLs. It is important to dispose of them

I'm not throwing away working light bulbs, so I have CFL's now to replace those that die a normal death, might take several years to replace them all. My electric bill outside of air conditioning season is almost nothing, so cost of power isn't the reason.
