They aren't safe to use in your home. cfl's are hight UV emitters not to mention all the Mercury in the event of a broken bulb. You should still be able to get incandescence for this special use but if you chose to use something else LED's seem to be a safer better bet.On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 11:28 AM, Robin Gabriel <[log in to unmask]> wrote:For the historic house museum folks on the list –
What have you decided to do regarding using compact florescent bulbs in historic lamps and in the rooms of your historic houses? Are they safe to use in situ?
Thanks,
