Is anyone else confused and frustrated by differing opinions on the efficiency and practicality of energy saving lightbulbs? I have used them in every room in my home for about 15 years but have heard and read so many conflicting opinions on their use........... can anyone in the know enlighten me?
Producing an energy saving bulb uses more energy than producing a traditional one - true or false?
Energy saving bulbs contain mercury - I understand that harmful to the environment?
Does switching energy saving bulbs on and off frequently shorten their life the with conventional bulbs?

Right, thankyou for that,I've had a look at the link - it all makes perfect sense to me now!
It's a huge pity that the general public have become so confused over the more than 15 years since energy saving bulbs were first available by conflicting reports in the media!From now I shall certainly be armed with the facts and will be able to promote their use.
