Reply #42: Not sure what your issue is?

The mercury itself was really a non-issue. Unfortunately its presence forced me to recycle the bulbs, which required the use of my car to deliver them to a recycling center. That life-cycle requirement was a much bigger factor than the mercury itself.

I made a multi-factorial decision to go back to using incandescent light bulbs because I felt they had, for me, a better balance of usability, environmental friendliness and cost. I don't see why anyone would have a problem with that.
