Get on the CFL Bandwagon!
Compact
Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFLs) use over 70% less energy than
incandescent light bulbs, give the same amount of light, run much
cooler and last up to 10 times longer.
CFLs:
Each compact fluorescent light bulb saves $30 in energy costs over its lifetime.
Generate less heat than incandescent bulbs.
Replace bulbs where you use lights the most – living room, kitchen, porch, dining room.
CFLs
come in different subtle colors. Warmer colors work best to create a
soothing atmosphere at home, and you can use a cooler color, like a
light blue tinted bulb, for your office.
Choose a CFL that works at the same lumen rating (a measure of light output) as the light you are replacing.
Replacing a single incandescent bulb with a CFL will keep a half-ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the life of the bulb.
