Who are you, johnny f****ng do gooder? I hope you do report them. I'm sure your next pie will have the extra special sauce.

Just someone who had a friend die in a preventible house fire:(

Pizza Huts around here burn to the ground from even a minor fire. about

1 every couple years. My concern is peopes safety.

One time I saw a broken traffic signal right near my job. didnt bother reporting it. 2 days later a lady died at that intersection. certinally police who frequented the area must have seen it too. all of that is trivial since someone died.

I would rather err on the side of safety!

I will probably call pizza huts main local office and tell them of my concern. what if anything they do about it is their call.

since the bulbs are inverted and in a sealed environment.ots at least questionable..

I haven't checked it but don't CFs burn cooler than a standard light? Seems they should be useable in any fixture that takes a regular bulb.

I strongly suspect that that only means that they'll cook themselves to non-functional in an enclosed fixture. Starting fires makes it harder to get a UL certification, and irritates the company lawyers.

I have two installed outside in base up fixtures for years, no problems yet. One is on a photocell & one is on a switch. I use them in crawlspace base up fixtures all the time.

There are plenty of compact fluorescents rated for downlighting:

Those who spend way too much time worrying about nothing end up at Pizza Hut on Valentines's Day.

Yes, much cooler. Thats why they use less power. Most of the power from a standard bulb is lost in heat. I agree that the CFs should be able to replace all bulbs. I guess the only question is whether having them in enclosed fixtures cause their own electronics, in the base of the bolb, to overheat.

It was my wifes choice, all the nice places around here were packed with 2 hour waits, she was late getting home from work.

frankly I got out of the pizza hut habit years ago because when leaving I stank like cigarette smoke even when in the non smoking area. just recently all their corporate stores finally got smart and went to complete no smoking.

other than a occasional pan pizza to go I rarely even think about them
