Switch to LED or back to incandescent bulbs. Your health and everyone the light touches my be at risk!
The medical experts who refuse to use low-energy lightbulbs in their homes: Professors have stocked up on old-style bulbs to protect against skin cancer and blindness. So should YOU be worried?

'I can't give you an exact number, but I have enough to see me out.'[/QUOTE]
