You will know when the parts you salvage go bad in a few years as Chinese junk likes to do. They could probably maintain better quality and reduce cost by building the base to last, and making the spiral flourescent tube easily replacible by the consumer.
Another way they make it cheaper is to use chinese parts which are just as toxic as the flourescent tube (The tube won't work without mercury). And to think were are replacing Cheap, pleasant, NON-TOXIC incandescent bulbs for this erie, hazmat just to save a few watts. I wonder how much worse dammage the polution from these CFL bulbs will be compared to the carbon emmissions they save over incandescent? :?
