scary,I have a dozen of those things in the house and grow,going to check now
I was very pro cfl. We switched em all out everywhere.
I couldnt convnce a few friends. They said they didnt trust them.
I agree with them now. I dont trust or approve of cfl lighting anymore.
I have made the effort to buy top quality cfl's by the case usually and had way to many cfl's shit out way too soon. So much for savings over time!
Well I have had a few stat pulsing then humming, weird sorts of shit from the ballast basically.
I watched a cfl overhead start to pulse abit yesterday. It died a bit later. I took it out and this is the cfl. Notice the writing at the bottom right? Yeah, Hg. Going back to incandescent unhttp://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=10215&pictureid=295909 til led is affordable for home lighting.
I've seen lots of pics of people with oodles of cfl's in their cab or tent or room. I ask my friends to be cautious.
The only way I've noticed a problem before it happens is flickering or interruptions of light and weird higher frequency sounds being emitted. Not everyone notices these frequencies though.
The problems seem to happen raandomly though. \
Maybe I just bought the toyota brand cfl's!
