    Main Street USA to go LED?

    I was posting this article elsewhere and I thought about Main Street USA.

    Is Disney going to go LED or just buy a 100 year supply of bulbs? Or just re-hire Paul Pressler, and don't replace the bulbs.

    I doubt it will be the latter.

    Or apply for and receive an exception to the law. The problem is that LEDs still aren't able to reproduce that soft glow of Incandecent bulbs.

    I don't know what I'm going to do. My eyes cannot function under Flourescent lighting. I get debilitating migraines and my opthomologist says that it's due to flourescent bulbs

    WHen I'm forced to work in an office I tend to turn the lights off and it drives my employers nuts

    Fluorescent bulbs are a terrible light source. Plus, they have mercury in them, so you better be careful not to break any of them. The lady in this article had to pay $2000 to clean up the mercury spill that resulted from her dropping one.

    Dosen't the government have better things to do like balance the budget or maybe come up with a workable solution for social security?
