Watt‘s The Benefit of Compact
Fluorescent Bulbs?

ENERGY STAR indicates that compact fluorescent
bulbs use up to 75% less energy than incandescent
bulbs while providing the same amount of light
output. They last up to 10 times longer, and give off
less heat than standard bulbs. Several designs and
sizes are available to replace bulbs in lamps, indoor
and outdoor light fixtures, and recessed lighting.
Current compact fluorescent bulbs are less expensive
and offer better lighting quality than earlier models.
If every American home replaced just one light bulb
with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would
save enough energy to light more than 3 million
homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual
energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases
equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000
cars.

So Green Guy says, "Save money while saving the
environment AND save your neck from falling off
those ladders changing light bulbs that burn out
every few months"
