Shouldn't it be illegal to sell them, like tobacco and alcohol?! :)

** Tobacco and alcohol are on restricted sale - but GLS ( non halogen) bulbs
are banned outright.

Whether the majority of cfls emit harmful amount of UVs to us, is
something I'm not sure yet.

Your problem.
That need some reading of research papers.

Nope, just try seeing if you can get anything to fluoresce using one.

You cant.
Come on man. You should know that's incorrect.

No its not with the glass used with cfls.

That’s why the black light UV tubes and bug zappers use quartz glass
instead.
I know you are no big in physics,

You're just plain wrong there.
but you still suppose to have chemistry experties,

And physical chemistry use spectroscopy and anyone
who has done any of that knows that UV doesn’t get
thru the glass used with cfls.
which should give you enough background knowledge on that.
We have sunglasses(not just glasses) for a very good reason.

It isnt to keep the UV out.

Yes, but most of you 'black' guys can handle it. ;-)
It's mostly in Australia we should be worried about this UV sun thing. I
believe most of the habitable other areas of the world is ok.

You're wrong, as always.
I believe the darker your skin, the better protection you might have
against UV in under Australian sun.

You're wrong, as always.
I rarely hear aborigenes getting skin cancer, by that I meant the real
Aborigenes. Not the 5% Aborigenes.

Because they all die of flagrant grog abuse and petrol
sniffing and hanging themselves and killing each
other LONG before they ever get any skin cancers.

Roddles can you cite research on that?? If so please do...

Bullshit.
Grog & Petrol were introduced to them by colonials.
They never died of skin cancer, simply 'cos they've adapted to it like
anybody with darker complexion.
UV was never a problem for them until colonials started shaggin them.
STDs and the rest is history.

** I figured some people would get their GLS lamps on Ebay.

Technically that makes YOU the importer and so breaking the law in each
Australian state.

This doesn't sound right to me. I've seen incandescent light globes in
super markets just not that long ago.

** You saw halogen " high efficiency " bulbs for about $3 or 4$ each.

Be nice if you READ the posts directed to you sometime.

To Damian at 5.00pm on the 29th:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** GLS bulbs ( that do not met MEPS) were taken off sale several years
ago - it is now a punishable offence to sell them.
I believe it's a choice, so far.

** Only for those with a stash of such bulbs OR are using the still legal
halogen kind.

Which is a hoot since they have little of no efficiency advantage.

Eg like these:

I have couple of incandescents in the house installed by(not me), in areas
where I rarely switch them on.
I haven't had the bulb police showing up and kicking my arse over it yet.

The mandate was on what can be sold.
And the local Chinese shops and major warehouses still have them.

Bullshit on that last.
Are they free in Antarctica??!!

No idea. Go there and find out, and hang yourself there on Saturday.

Obvious lie. You have clearly wanked yourself completely blind.

Right, and how many died from them? CFL's are far less dangerous.

Well, one of my CRT terminals had an 'AIDS' key!

I will take that as an "I have NO IDEA" as usual...

More fool you. Its such a well known problem that
there hasn’t been any research on it for more than
a century now. Try any textbook on spectroscopy.

And obviously you haven't died from AIDS yet.
