compact fluorescent

Fun FactFun Fact 1

Compact fluorescent bulbs use about 75 percent less electricity than old-style incandescents because almost all of their energy goes to generate heat, not light. Switching to compact fluorescent lights, while costing more money initially, would save consumers about $62 per bulb because fluorescents use less energy and last 10 times longer than incandescent lights.
