What are the cost savings in switching to CFL’s?
A compact fluorescent light uses at least 2/3 less energy than the standard incandescent light bulb and last ten times longer providing the same amount of light. Each compact fluorescent light bulb would save you at least $30 for each bulb compared to the lifetime of an incandescent light bulb.The CFL’s generate 70% less heat than an ordinary bulb which would allow you to safely touch the bulb and not get burned and during the summer months the heat output would be less, which would eliminate the need for your air conditioner to run more to cool your home from the heat of a regular incandescent light bulb.
