Down Side to Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Fluorescent light bulbs are reaction caused by electricity heating up a vapor and causing it to produce ultraviolet radiation, which causes the production of light. Two problems with fluorescent light is they are not very energy efficient and when they burn out it is very hard to recycle them. It is hard to recycle them because there is mercury in them, and when too many are thrown away it can pose an environmental threat.
