Changing Light Bulbs

[ajblakejr]

don't forget the WM recycle box and FEC member of management

 

[cachsux]

One to look at the lightbulb Telematics to write up the installers for not closing the door before they installed the bulb.

 

[curiousbrain]

Everyone to be chastised by Lightbulb Engineering for failing to meet expectations.

I was rearranging stuff to vacuum and knocked over a little rooster lamp. It had a corkscrew lightbulb in it. You know the ones, filled with poison. Well, it smashed into lovely little pieces with a nice Poof! of something. I imagine that Poof! was not a good thing. I hate those lights. I don't have a yellow barrel at home to throw the stupid mess into. Guess where it went? In the trash, is right. I imagine the environment will love that. How many of those end up in the same landfill just in Rodman, let alone everywhere else? Stupid corkscrews.

Your suppose to place the broken pieces into a zip lock bag and then discarded in the trash. Your worried about a broken lightbulb but would support coal exhaust going into the atmosphere causing thousands of children to get asthma?

Save the planet.

Philips EnduraLED 409938 - 8 Watt - Dimmable LED - A19 - 2700K Warm White - 450 Lumens - 40 Watt Equal - 120 Volt


This is the future. 25000 hours. Less energy usage.

The standard light bulb....1000 hours then POOF.


its a matter of simple math. Comparing the standard bulb life to an LED light would show you that you would have to buy 25 light bulbs for every 1 LED bulb. Also, factor in the higher energy usage required to power the standard bulb, and the cost is silly vs the LED bulb.

Do the math.

[h=4]Before Cleanup[/h]

• Have people and pets leave the room.
• Air out the room for 5-10 minutes by opening a window or door to the outdoor environment.
• Shut off the central forced air heating/air-conditioning system, if you have one.
• Collect materials needed to clean up broken bulb:
  • stiff paper or cardboard;
  • sticky tape;
  • damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes (for hard surfaces); and
  • a glass jar with a metal lid or a sealable plastic bag.

[h=4]During Cleanup[/h]

• DO NOT VACUUM. Vacuuming is not recommended unless broken glass remains after all other cleanup steps have been taken. Vacuuming could spread mercury-containing powder or mercury vapor.
• Be thorough in collecting broken glass and visible powder.
• Place cleanup materials in a sealable container.

[h=4]After Cleanup[/h]

• Promptly place all bulb debris and cleanup materials, including vacuum cleaner bags, outdoors in a trash container or protected area until materials can be disposed of. Avoid leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup materials indoors.
• Next, check with your local government about disposal requirements in your area, because some localities require fluorescent bulbs (broken or unbroken) be taken to a local recycling center. If there is no such requirement in your area, you can dispose of the materials with your household trash.
• If practical, continue to air out the room where the bulb was broken and leave the heating/air conditioning system shut off for several hours.
