Well, the backlights have a pretty small amount of mercury to
start with, and if they emitted very much of it, they'd stop
working. So I'd say that they probably don't emit much, if
any mercury.

Yes, we have someone here who replaced the backlights with LED,
then shielded various components and also remotely located as
much as he could. But it still caused some symptoms, so one
cannot simply blame the backlight alone.

This is why I chose distance as being a good solution -- I find
that distance improves most ES problems!
