Iyon kasing bumbilya,- pag napundi,- open circuit lang... While iyong fluorescent lamp,- may mga active components (na nasa ballast) na may power pa rin....

Actually, I was just comparing electronic vs magnetic ballast. Sabi kasi nung building admin namin hindi daw umiinit yung electronic. And we hadn't had one fail ... til today! Papa imbestigahan ko nga kung talagang fail siya o bumbilya lang at kung nagka wiring problem eh. OMG sana hindi ekaf yung nabili ko.

We haven't had an incident with our CFL's pero sa incandescent, kung substandard, madali maging delikado kasi nag-iinit yung bulb sometimes to the point of ignition.

Then again, anything fake or substandard can be dangerous di ba?
