ClearLite Safer CFL Lightbulbs
One of the biggest complaints about CFL lightbulbs is the major risk of being exposed to mercury if one breaks. Clearlite has come up with a solution that could help ease all our worries about CFLs called ArmorLite. This new compact flourescent bulb is designed with safety coating to prevent the leakage of toxins if a bulb were to break.
About Clearlite
Back in 2005, both Tom Irvine and Lisa Niedermeyer wanted to find a solution for those wanted to go eco-friendly with lightbulbs without the risks associated with CFLs. That’s when they formed the company and came up with a safer CFL that are liquid mercury free. They also created their ArmorLite coating that keeps your family safe from dangerous glass or toxins with the bulbs. The coating is made of a silicon composite that keeps all the internals enclosed within the bulb. Just as with normal CFLs, they last much longer than traditional incandescent bulbs and are fully recyclable.
Lets find out a little about ArmorLite directly from Clearlite:
How does it hold up?
Clearlite has done extensive testing to ensure that a little leakage occurs as possible. I did a little research to see what kind of reviews the company has received and if any tests were done to determine how well the bulbs hold together. Concrave did a great comprehensive review of their product along with a test to see how the light bulb would hold up:
Where to Buy?
Overall, Clearlite seems like a great company that are trying to make CFL light bulbs safer. Amazon has a great selection of their bulbs, but they are a priced a little higher as compared to other CFL bulbs. If you have a family with small kids, the extra cost seems well worth any exposure to mercury.
If you have used a Clearlite bulb, please share your experience with their products.
that video had me cringing when he hammered the light bulb.
Be sure you have your light bulbs set at safer places.
Nice work guys!
