CFLs are Better!
Compared to standard incandescent light bulbs, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) use about 75% less energy and last up to 10 times longer! Replacing a standard bulb with a CFL can save up to $65 in electricity during the bulb’s lifetime* – much more than the extra up-front cost. Plus:
- ENERGY STAR® qualified CFLs come in different sizes and shapes
- There’s a CFL to fit almost any lighting fixture in your home
- They provide bright, pleasant light
- They eliminate the flicker and hum of other fluorescent lights
- You’re helping protect the environment
