Tri-Lights

Try buying one recently? Everything seems to be those new bulbs that are so dim. A friend said her dad is going blind and can't see with the new bulbs.

I went to Living Lighting and they have Tri-lights. They can also convert and floor lamp to one. And they have the Tri-light bulbs too.

Why are they producing lights with mercury in the bulbs? What's going to happen when people throw them in the garbage and they reach the landfill?

I'm all for energy conservation. But let's think long term here. I suspect the same mindset that created the 2000 date fiasco is at work again. "Leave it for someone else, I won't be around".
