The mercury content of the F24W/T5/8(XX)/ECO GE Ecolux ® fluorescent lamps has been reduced by over 80% versus older traditional fluorescent lamp designs. To assure long life, advanced coating technologies have been developed to minimize the absorption of mercury within the lamp.
Additionally, Ecolux ® bulbs use an exclusive material design that helps to prevent the small amount of mercury in the lamp from forming mercury compounds which may leach into groundwater after lamp disposal.
