One more reason to be concerned about CFLs

Apparently, most, if not all, CFLs leak UV light which can harm skin cells, perhaps leading to melanoma.

I have seen other studies published with similar findings.
Also saw some very sensitive people getting sick and bad skin reactions with CFL bulbs.
Lets hope LED or another new bulb will be a better choice.
With Cree dimmable LED bulbs now around $9.95 for the 40 watt equivalent and 12.49 each, when purchased in a six pack, of 60 watt equivalents.
LEDs are looking better every day.

Glad I stocked up on incandescent bulbs.
