Cfl lamps..?

Question

im trying to find a cfl (compact fluorescent light) to buy . im looking all over but i cant find what im looking for. I need the actual LAMP, not the bulbs. I tried home depot and lowes but i cant find it...only bulbs. can anyone help me?

Answer 1

They're made to fit any lamp. Buy what ever lamp turns you on and equip it with the CFL bulbs. Just be aware of the EPA's regulations if you break one of those bulbs. Since they contain mercury they are considered a biological hazard. The EPA regs require, in the event of breakage, that all windows be opened for at least l0 hours, all persons be evacuated for the same period and the residue be swept up by some one wearing protective gear and disposed of in an approved container and at an approved recycling center. Vacuum cleaner is a no no for picking up the pieces. I think I'll opt for LED lights.

Answer 2

I believe any standard lamp can use CFL bulbs, so you wouldn't find one that specifies CFL.
