How much money are you saving by switching to Fluorescent lightbulbs?
Generally the Florescent lightbulbs are a bit more expensive than standard incandescent bulbs. I looked on walmart.com and found that a 6 pk of 20 watt fluorescent bulbs come to $15.16. Where as you can find incandescent light bulbs at your local supermarket where they can go for about 5 dollars for a 4 pk. . (2)(3)foIt would cost about $2.55 per each CFL bulb and $1.26 for each incadescent bulb.According to Wikipedia "CFLs are typically guaranteed for 8,000 hours. (Incandescent bulbs typically last 500 to 2000 hours, depending on exposure to voltage spikes and mechanical shock.)" (1)
"The CFL, therefore, will save $36.00 in electricity (compared to the incandescent bulb) during its rated life. Some American discount stores sell packages of CFLs for about $2.75 per CFL and incandescent bulbs for about $0.50 each, a $2.25 difference. The estimated payback period for buying the CFL instead of the incandescent bulb is, therefore, 500 hours, which is 100 days at 5 hours per evening. Two additional advantages of the CFL are that the majority of these bulbs never get beyond touch-warm( meaning warm enough that it wont burn your hand if you touch it), making them significantly safer for children and the elderly, and providing a reduced risk of fire in homes and offices."
so in my opinion, the fluorescent lightbulbs may cost a bit more , but they will save you good deal of money on electric (1)
