I recycle them, and I have to think that they actually do recover the mercury. Why would Aubuchon have a policy like that and then just chuck 'em?

LED's are very similar power consumption to CFL's. I recently got some 8W bulbs that are nice and bright (and they are dimmable), but up until now, CFL's have had more lumens/watt than LED's. I like LED's coming on full brightness right away.

Enemy, have you tried dimmable LED's?
