Why CFLs Make Sense

cfl_green

Switching to Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL) is a no-brainer when you compare it to traditional lighting.

Regular Incandescents:
  • Waste about 90 percent of their energy generating heat
  • Last about 1,000 hours, or about 8.5 months of light
Compact Fluorescents:
  • Use 75% less electricity than a regular bulb
  • provide up to 10,000 hours (7 yrs) of light.
CFL will Help You:
  • Be more energy efficient
  • Buy far fewer replacement bulbs
  • Select from a variety of styles and colors
