While many of us do not like light from “Energy Saving” Compact fluorescent lamps that are being forced on us there are groups of people who suffer real medical issues from the output of these lamps. The Spectrum Alliance is an organisation that is addressing the continued availability of conventional incandescent lamps for people who just cannot live with fluorescent light. They represent a number of charities and support groups that represent the issues of the sufferers of photo reactive diseases in the United Kingdom and we at Savethebulb.org are supporting them in their efforts to maintain a supply of incandescent lamps.

Please check out their new website for further information.

    I am one of those people who can not be around florescent bulbs- it has a bad effect on me. It caused me problems in school and often in certain stores. It has been extremely upsetting to find these disgusting unhealthy bulbs being forced on us- especially with the financial burden they put on us if we need to get full spectrum bulbs.

    Even if everyone changes the light bulb to another type, it will do nothing for the environment. Scientists don’t know very much about global warming. I’m only in 9th grade and I know that. Changing the light bulb will do nothing and we will have more cases for mercury poisoning! Not to mention the prices. If they are going to make us buy these light bulbs the price better go down. Why don’t they focus on something that actually helps us!

    I too am like C.G. The new lightbulbs make me dizzy if I am under them for a short period of time. I feel sick and als get bad headaches from them. We tried them and in about 30 min I took them out and put my regular buls back in.

    I would love to support this campaign to maintain a supply of incandescent lamps. I guess this is not only a good cause to do good but the efforts is really rewarding..
