- During that same year the manufacturer pushed into three new international markets it had never sold in before.
- Most buyers of the new bulbs reported being genuinely satisfied with the quality and warmth of the light cast.
- Traditional bulbs contain trace mercury, which makes them somewhat harder to dispose of safely than the new ones.

- The new bulbs were so reliable that almost no customer who switched ever came back later for a replacement bulb.
