		<description>This sounds like a great light source for focused lighting. Wish the technology could be used for general lighting so we could save more energy</description>

		<description>The mercury in flourescent lights is bad.  I was reading a warning by the EPA on how to clean up a small mercury spill for a light and this what they had to say:

A. &quot;Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up mercury. The vacuum will put mercury into the air and increase exposure. The vacuum appliance will be contaminated and have to be disposed of in a hazard waste disposal site.&quot;

B. &quot;Never use a broom to clean up mercury...&quot;

C. &quot;Never wash mercury contaminated items in a washing machine. Mercury may contaminate the machine and/or pollute sewage.&quot;

D. Everyone should be removed from the area where the spill occurred; this includes pets. The impacted areas should be sealed off from other areas and all ventilation systems should be turned off from the impacted area.

E. &quot;Never walk around as your shoes might be contaminated with mercury. Contaminated clothing can spread mercury around.&quot; In case of fire the entire area will be contaminated with mercury and should be sealed off from any type of use.

F. If a spill occurs on carpet, curtains, upholstery or other like surfaces, these contaminated items should be thrown away in accordance...&quot; and with assistance of your local hazard waste disposal site. 

What&#039;s up with this, you don&#039;t see a warning on the light bulb packaging for this.</description>
