According to Wikpeda, they are saying that the Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb can last about 8,000 hours, compared to the incandescent light bulb which last about 500 to 2,000 hours. This means that you’ll be saving a great deal of money by using the Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb. From my personal experience, my family got the CFL bulbs and it lasted it a couple of years, meaning that we saved lots of money not buying the regular bulbs. This chart that I got off Wikipedia this explains how you would be saving money:

This chart that I got off Wikipedia this explains how you would be saving money:
incandescent= (75W)X(8,000) X ($0.08/1000w X hr)= $48.00
According to this chart say you had a normal incandescent light bulb and compare it to the CFL. The normal bulb uses an average of 75 Watts as to the CFL which uses 20 W. Say both of these light bulbs last 8,000 hours. They say that cost of electricity in America is about $0.08 per kilo Watts per hour. As you can you tell by the charts this saves you a great deal of money. According to the Energy Star website “Save $30 or more in energy costs over each bulb’s lifetime”. So not only does this light save a great deal of money, it also helps save our earth, our true home.
