Lighten up with CFLs
Practically since its invention, the traditional pear-shaped, incandescent light bulb has been a household staple, used in the majority of fixtures we use to light up our homes. Yet, incandescent bulbs are actually better at producing heat than light — in fact 90% of the energy they give off is heat. That wasted energy is money you are throwing away.
Highly efficient and long lasting, today’s CFLs offer the benefits of fluorescent lighting while producing a steady, quiet, warm white light.
- CFLs last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.
- CFLs use up to 75% less energy.
- CFL bulbs are now available in a range shapes and sizes —as well as light colors.
- CFLs pay for themselves in less than nine months.
- Using CFLs in the five fixtures you use most often can potentially save you more than $65 per year.
- Match light bulb wattage to your lighting needs.
- Concentrate lighting in reading and work areas.
- Dust your light bulbs regularly as dirt absorbs light and wastes energy.
- Turn off lights when leaving rooms.
