I also agree with you and will be getting halogens to replace these energy efficient hazards.

Wow, whose bright idea was that, thats a lot of tape. I hope they make it in a metre wide roll. I had a proper flouro go, and glass was all over the place. Lucky it was on concrete but it was literally everywhere. They seriously go off with a bit of a bang, I assume the gas is under a small amount of pressure but its enough to send glass over a large enough area that sticky tape would be a PITA.

We've got a Wertheim carpet shampooer so Id probably use that as the water would help keep the mercury from being recirculated. But no, I'll avoid it by not having those stupid lights anyway.

Dont know how true it is, but I recall a bloke on TV stating how they can increase skin cancer risks too, so he bought several wholesale sized boxes of the incandescents before the ban kicked in.
