What steps are being taken to reduce the amount of mercury in CFLs?
The mercury used in all SpringLight CFLs is the lowest dosage possible to maintain proper lamp function; however, we are committed to reducing mercury content whenever possible and as part of that call to action have joined the NEMA voluntary commitment program. All participating manufacturers have promised to cap the total mercury content of all CFLs under 25 watts at 5 mg. CFLs that use 25 – 40 watts are capped at 6 mg per unit.
