A Safer CFL
Shaped like their incandescent counterparts, each ArmorLite Safety Eco CFL is actually a compact fluorescent light bulb hidden inside a light-bulb-shaped safety shield that helps contain mercury and broken glass if the light bulb breaks.

Instead of breaking open like normal CFL bulbs, ArmorLite Safety Eco CFLs are designed to break on the inside of the safety coating, helping keep the dangerous vapors and shards of glass from escaping into your home.

Helps Protect the Environment
ArmorLite Safety Eco CFLs work with Amalgam, an innovative alternative to liquid mercury. Amalgam is a solid alloy of mercury and other metals that reduces the amount of mercury in the bulbs.

Additionally, ArmorLite bulbs are made with lead-free eco bases that comply with strict RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) standards for maximum environmental safety.

Saves Money and Energy
ArmorLite Safety Eco CFLs use less power than a regular bulb and lasts up to 10,000 hours, helping keep your energy and replacement costs low.

Listed as a Must-Have Product in Popular Science magazine, ArmorLite Safety Eco CFLs are Energy Star rated.

From the Manufacturer

The ArmorLite, SAFETY ECO CFL A Safer CFL is a new generation of CFL bulbs. Unlike the commonly found spiral CFLs, the patent pending ArmorLite looks like an incandescent bulb. It is in fact a compact fluorescent light bulb hidden inside a glass shaped safety coated cover similar in design to an incandescent light bulb that seems to be preferred by most consumers. The SX4000 Safety Coating is designed to help capture broken glass and mercury, if the bulb is broken, providing an added level of safety, between you and the toxins inside the CFL. A safer CFL ArmorLite is UL/cUL, FCC and Energy Star qualified, 10,000 hour and can save up to $59.99 in energy costs. ArmorLite is also made to RoHS standards (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) with a lead-free eco base. ArmorLite uses no liquid mercury, instead we use Amalgam, an alloy of mercury with other metals in a solid form, that helps make compliance with government regulations for mercury reduction easier to meet. ArmorLite may very well be the greenest and safest CFL on the planet. This natural daylight bulb is great for children, elderly, pets, pregnant women for use in non-dimmable recessed lighting fixtures in offices, kitchens, living rooms - anywhere you need brighter, crisper white daylight. With ClearLite Clear Color Technology….help reduce glare…see more clearly. Please think safety first, ClearLite... Clearly better... Clearly green.

This review is from: ClearLite AB-CAM14SW-1N ArmorLite 14W/60W CFL Lightbulb, Soft White 1 Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

At first, I was a little hesitant about spending a little extra for these bulbs but I'm glad I did. We seem to have more than our fair share of broken bulbs around our house and the peace of mind was worth it. Last week one of the kids tried to change a bulb in the kitchen and dropped the bulb when they went to put it in. Beyond providing assurance that there was no exposure to mercury, there was also no mess to clean up. It was great! I hate having to try to get up all of those little tiny fragments of glass. Instead I just picked it all up at once. I would like to see more varieties available but I'm sure that will come with time.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Bulb!!!, September 6, 2010

(What's this?)

I must say that this is one great bulb! Whoever got the idea of putting this thick, yet clear plastic around the fluro-bulbs, deserves an award! First you have one of those "twisty" type fluro bulbs that uses very little electricity and lasts forever (not actually forever but a LONG time that seems forever). But as anyone whoever had one break, they make a real mess, and they have mercury inside (not good for you). But someone got the idea of putting this plastic around the bulb, making it all enclosed, so that if the bulb breaks, it all stays inside! No mess, or worry!

The plastic does not darken the bulb. Granted they may not be as bright as a regular 60 watt bulb, but it's not a major difference, and uses only 14 watts per hour! The bulb takes about a minute to get to full strength (bright), but I don't consider that a problem.

These bulbs are great for areas where children like to touch things. You don't have to worry about broken glass. It really is a thick (yet clear) plastic around the bulb.

I really like these bulbs!

. . . When small hands drop it. I have a bunch of kids and they are forever breaking things: furniture, lamps, the cat (just kidding)--but light bulbs are definitely on their hit list. And if you happen to miss a shard or two from a broken bulb it will almost certainly wind up in one of their feet. Its great, then, to have these bulbs with the protective coating so that when one breaks it doesn't shatter into a million pieces all over the floor. If only we could have plastic coating for the cat . . . .
