Replace energy-saving lamps safely
Safe replacement of energy saving lamps.
Unfortunately, "normal" bulbs do not exist anymore. You hear again and again that in the energy-saving lamps mercury is in it and do not know how this is harmful or not, if something breaks.
If you want to replace such a lamp, you can for safety's sake proceed as follows: before unscrewing you put a bag (freezer bag / paper bag) on the lamp. If something splinters, you have collected everything in the bag and can safely dispose of it.
