Commercial light tubes use Mercury vapor, so when one of those is broken, the gas released is toxic until cleared. The glass and electrode materials are not toxic, but are cut and burn hazards.

They can if they are hot enough and you fall into them. Or you could bleed to death from a broken bulb.


Can you be poisoned by a fluorescent bulb?

Yes, if it breaks and you either inhale some of the vapor or the glass cuts your skin. Fluorescent lamps contain a small amount of mercury which is a toxic metal. It is also important not to allow the content of a bulb or tube to enter the water course. On tube can contaminate thousands of gallons of pre-cleaned water supply kill of the positive bacteria required to kee the water drinkable

It shouldn't, but if the bulb is being used to heat the lizard's terrarium it won't provide enough heat and the lizard may be lethargic. Use a proper terrarium heating lamp, not a CFL or LED bulb for that purpose.

What do light bulbs do?

They use less energy to produce light, and thus save energy and help to save the environment through conserving electricity. The energy efficient light bulb applies fluorescent lighting technology to replace incandescent lighting technology. In the latter, a filament is heated past red hot to white hot to emit useful light. This creates a lot of heat, and is inefficient. The fluorescent tube screws into a socket just like the incandescent lamp, but has electronic circuitry built in to supply the elevated voltages necessary to operate the coiled fluorescent tube. Inside that tube is a gas mixture that is ionized by the voltage, and the ionized gas emits useful light. This process is much more energy efficient than incandescent technology.
