full of mercury...made in china rather than germany and spain where many of our incandescents were made, due to the warm up time people tend to leave them on, and not simply turn on and off when required. Cost in materials alone, healthwise for the manufacturer/environment - the exceptionally higher rate of component 'carbon foot print' - all adds up to a typical government spin on something that at best saves the UK a tiny bit of energy, offsetting it to China...
Hmmm... now let me think which bulb I'll buy...
