Many CFLs take up to 3 minutes to reach full brightness and still produce poor quality lighting.

CFLs contain 3-5mg of mercury per bulb where the mercury from broken and discarded lamps may be released and contribute to air and water pollution.

LEDs are gaining momentum in the world of interior lighting.

Unlike CFLs, LEDs can be filtered without a dramatic loss in output; hence achieving better ambient lighting.

 

Special Remarks
Only operate with external constant current power supply, luminous intensity and power consumption specified @ 350mA max fully dimmable if dimmable CC PSU, typically trailing edge, is used.
