Hi.
In the past 6 months I got rid of all of my CFL lights because of
the RF noise and because of the two warning labels that are on each of
these lamps packaging...."Contains Mercury and made in China".

I went back to standard light bulbs, but am now using 130v lights.
I bought these at Lowes they run $9.98 for a box of 24, they carry
no warning labels or cause RF problems.
They are made by Sylvania in the USA.
100w use's 88w and has a life of 1875 hrs vs. 750.
60w use's 53w and has a life of 2500 hrs vs. 1000 hrs.

My electric bill has not changed squat since doing this, I figure what heat I do get
off of the bulbs in the winter helps the heating bill in my Mich. Thumb weather.
