Was he in stockinged feet? as you say Tony, seems like he was a bit of a tool. I did know about the mercury bit, but that damage seems excessive, even then! Idiots beware - glass can cut you !

Dougy Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I find it hard to believe the difference it would have made if it were an old type bulb he had put his foot on. The amount of mercury in the energy saving bulbs is so small you would have difficulty seeing it on the end of a ball point pen, it seems to me it is just another frightning story agains energy saving bulbs simalar to the ones from the early days.

V8landy Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I also work at a power station, and some of the mad things that come out of it is unbelief. But seeing that photo I just can not see how it happened. Why bare feet? How such a massive injury? I used to be a convert to energy saving bulbs, mainly because I bought LOADS when tescos was selling them @ 5 for 50p, but we have just bought some new lamps and given I no longer have spare bulbs or can find an offer, energy bulbs are very expensive compared to a normal bulb. I do not believe the life span quoted of ESB, I do not believe the true energy saved on ESB Factor in the higher energy cost to make ESB + the mercury used in there making, they are overall not very green at all.

jacksdad Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 it is! :blink: He was changing a bulb, but when he undid it, it was hot and burnt his hand. He was so annoyed, he took off his shoe and sock and jumped on the bulb, to teach it a lesson....simples! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) dont work with dimmer switches and give me bad eyes as well. Energy saving is a useless term, there are many types from LED to CFL and few others, there are dimmable CFL/LED's but you need to know what you are doing (some you need to down rate dimmer by 90%, and many have huge inrush currents) I am having issues with a certain type at present. the simple fact is for light output compared to elec input Halogen is hard to beat (12V especially) domestic lighting is still in a very basic stage most control is on/off or basic dimming, actual lighting control is a better solution offering useable light in all circumstances and maximum energy saving opportunities. Also the source of info/images seems dodgy to me Edited November 14, 2011 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djgeoff Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 as a sparky it is common knowledge that florescent lamps contain mercury, i have know about this for years and we had employer notice years ago that if anyone was to cut themselves on broken glass from such lamps they are to attend A & E and report in the incident book.

Chard Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) http://www.rense.com/general94/Mercury%20Exposure.pdf Is that text above the photo translated from Swahili or something? Very strange English for an official document...... Oh yes, I can see it's one of those New World Order tin foil hat anti-semitic websites. That'll be accurate reporting then Edited November 14, 2011 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so annoyed, he took off his shoe and sock and jumped on the bulb, to teach it a lesson....simples! That's nothing, the next day he had to change another bulb while trying to eat a whole orange, but he'd forgotten to put his trousers on that morning and after he dropped it he slipped and fell right on top of it.

The shock of which caused him to run out of his house and in to the back of his neighbour's daughters shetland. I love a contrived story, they must hear them up A&E all day long.
