[Boatanchors] New light bulbs

[telegrapher at att.net]

had to go to Walmart to get a prescription filled on Wednesday (caught 
the flu).  While there i was looking at the new type/style light bulbs 
that are being pushed for helping the world go green on the energy side.

They had GE bulbs that said "dispose of using applicable methods" 
because they contain Mercury.

The other type bulb they had, i didn't see a brand name on the packages 
but it did warn on the package to not use in the proximity of 
communications equipment capable of operating in the range of .45 to 30 
or something Mhz.  Don't remember just what the number was.  If it was 
being used in an area of communications equipment, it might be necessary 
to reposition the lamp in order to prevent harmful noise from 
interfering with the equipment.  Thoughtful.

Anybody else seen any warnings on the other brands?  I bought a 75 watt 
bulb at Lowes but didn't see any of that type information on it.  It was 
  a Sylvania brand.  It's on "trial" in the bedroom and so far have not 
noticed any problems.  Although it in my opinion does not put out the 
same amount of light that a regular 75 watt bulb does and the light 
appears to be softer so a 100W bulb will be necessary if i want to read 
in bed with it.

How's that for worthless information!  And only slightly on topic as 
well.  As i'm quite sick with this FLu, take it easy on me.
