CFL bulbs do have traces of mercury. The technology has reduced the amount considerably. I do think LEDs are the future, but CFLs are here to stay for the foreseeable future. If they don’t break, the mercury is not an issue, which is why we only use them in places where the risk of breaking is minimal.

josh is right, CFL’S have traces of mercury in them and that’s not good for the environment at all…even though it says it right on the packaging, they kinda don’t advertise that. LED is certainly the way to go. And as far as that PUR 2 stage unit leaving “benifiting fluoride,” I’d rather not have that in my water thank you very much. Flouride is ment for toothpaste, not drinking, its considered a toxic chemical by yhe FDA if I recall correctly, I guess just google search that.

Author and editor, please look up the definition of “factoid.” You discredit yourselves buy labeling what should really be side notes or parentheticals as spurious made up statements designed to appears as fact.

Josh, thanks for the tip. I checked out the Pharox led bulb and CREE MR16 bulb on Amazon, and they both seem like good options.
