| Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs |
|
A Compact fluorescent light (CFL) is a type of light bulb that is an energy-efficient alternative to standard incandescent light bulbs.
CFLs:
- Fit in most sockets and last 8 to 15 times longer.
- Operate on 75% less energy than regular bulbs.
- Can save more than $30 in electricity over a bulb's lifetime.
|
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an energy-efficiency CFL,
we would:
- Save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year.
- Save more than $600 million in annual energy costs.
- Prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars from entering the atmosphere.
