Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFLs)

ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs use up to 75% less energy and last 6-10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. They are available in a variety of shapes and styles, including spirals, mini-spirals, A-lamps, globes, 3-way bulbs, dimmable bulbs, reflectors, and flood lamps.

ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs save energy and money because they cost less to operate. For example, a CFL that uses only 14 watts gives the same light output as an incandescent bulb that uses 60 watts. Using CFLs also helps the environment because, since they use less energy to operate, less pollution from energy production is created. Finally, CFLs save time. A CFL that is used for 5 hours a day should last at least 3 years, while an incandescent bulb used for 5 hours a day will only last about 6 months. Using a CFL instead of an incandescent bulb means fewer trips to the store to purchase replacement bulbs, and less time spent changing burned out bulbs.
