At my last job we used these fluorescent bulbs for our entry way.

I had probably 5-6 of them "burn up" in the base unit. Literally charred, super hot. (Remember these puppies ran 24/7, not household standard but not safe at all.)

Far from safe, and they contain mercury as well. Horrible for the environment.

Personally I avoid them as well, and this just helps my decision.
