Choosing the right CFL



Ensuring your CFL will perform properly and last a long time requires matching it to the right fixture.

  • CFLs perform best in open fixtures that allow airflow.

  • For lower-level fixtures, it is better to use a reflector CFL.

  • For a dimmer or three-way switch, use a special CFL designed to work in these applications.

  • Choose a CFL that offers a shade of white light that works best for you.

  • Color temperature is a quantitative measure: the higher the number in Kelvin, the bluer the shade.

  • We recommend EnergyStar® CFLs
