Save Energy and Money

The average U.S. household has more than 40 sockets for light bulbs, ranging from table lamps to ceiling fixtures. Lighting can account for about 20% of annual household electricity bills, or around $200 per year. Replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) provides significant benefits. CFLs can last eight times longer than standard incandescent bulbs! Over its lifetime, one CFL can save you more than $30 in lower energy costs.CFLs generate about 70% less heat than standard incandescent lighting. This means they are cool to the touch, keep your home more comfortable, help reduce home cooling costs, and are safer to use in fixtures that have paper or fabric shades.
