Are these bulbs mercury free?

There's no reason to believe that these bulbs contain mercury, because mercury is used in fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) , not LED bulbs.

I don't think they are. Actually, I highly doubt it. I've used them in regular light fixtures and have been very pleased with them. Their output is high, although I haven't measured it in lumens. Color balanced seems spot on, compared to natural daylight. I put them in a softbox and they work quite well. Regards, Steve

They are supposed to be lead-free. The manufacturer's website states that they conform to all FDA regulations and California Prop 65 standards.

These are zinc air batteries and do not have mercury. See the following link: http://www.powerone-batteries.com/index.php?id=215&L;=1However that being said, all batteries contain some type of heavy metal or another and should be disposed of properly. People have a bad habit of just throwing them in the trash, that is all bad.

Note that this is NOT a CFL bulb. It is an LED. No mercury issues with LED. However, the lighting is a slightly different shade. You might not like it. It is very easy to replace. You do not need an electrician. If you look at the picture of the item, it shows a cord with an orange end and a silver end. The silver end screws into where you would screw in a normal bulb. The orange end connects into the orange cord coming from the main light housing. Once those two parts are connected, the only difficult part is to align/squeeze the two silver hooks so that the light housing stays within the existing canister. The whole process is really quite simple and should take just a few minutes to do. Also, the housing sits flush against the ceiling, so once it's installed, all you will see is the bulb and the rim around it. Hope this helps.

I think they are lead free. What grade, I don't remember. The manufacturer should be able to tell you as I believe they told me

As far as I know they are lead-free, but I'm not 100% sure. I do know that I have grown some beautiful flowers and plants in mine, but I'd say I'm about 95% sure they are lead-free. Hope that helps! :)

I would assume that it would. Under the technical details, it says "OPERATES INCANDESCENT, FLUORESCENT, MERCURY VAPOR AND SODIUM FIXTURES", and since--according to Wikipedia--metal-halide lamps are "similar to mercury vapor lamps", I think you'll be okay.

They are not stamped UL, so i doubt it. But they work, better than a costly replacement bulb that lasts less than a year. I will never buy a GU24 fixture again.. Adds about an inch.

Im sorry, I don't know if they are lead free. They are nice thou very lite weight so I don"t think they would have lead in them.

Hi there, I purchased this w/ the hearing aid for my father in law, who is overseas. I'm not sure about the mercury content and I don't have the packaging to confirm.

As far as I know yes. Did some research and these are suppose to be lead free

I really don't know. Sorry. I used this product on my mercury yard light which has been there for about 40 years. Perfect replacement for my old lamp.

The answer seems to be yes and yes. (the latter, with water).I don't know why they use this, but the bulbs are great.

No, all compact fluorescents use mercury vapor to generate light. If a bulb breaks, make sure to open your windows and air out the room.

No, they do not have mercury, but the new bulbs that you have to buy do have a slight amount of mercury.

I assumed they were lead free because it would have been noted on the package. Check with manufacturer.
