Wow ,never knew they had mercury in them,we have them thru out our house and have notice a drop in in awww-light awww bill.Every little bit helps.We recycle as much as we can and Dw has her gardens.Friends next door have the solars panels and have hardly a awww light awww bill to even talk about.I used Earth friendly paint when repainting last month and added solar screens on windows to block sun in the summertime.Have eletric mower for yard and use hand edger for sidewalks.We will be adding a new instant water heater next month and that will help even more on the awww light awww bill.Been using mopeds for short trips,bikes also,Dw even has been riding her old 3 wheeler.Dw had me put up clothes lines in back yard.Thanks for heads up about the dimmer switches good to know.
