Yup - we have the same $hit in the UK - and also these low energy bulbs do not work on a dimmer switch, Furthermore, by 2014 they will probably be obsolete as LED bulbs - even cheaper to run and without mercury - are being developed :!:

When I was a kid, thermometers for taking your temperature - and put in your mouth - had mercury in them. As kids, when a thermometer broke, we usta like rolling the little silver beads of mercury around in our hands. We survived - as I also survived lead paint and a whole host of other things the Nanny State is trying to do away with :mrgreen:
