| Compact fluorescent lights truly are bulbs with the power of change. Let us shed some light on some of the bulb's stats:
- CFL bulbs use up to 75 percent less energy to produce the same amount of light as incandescent bulbs.
- Average life of a CFL bulb is 8,000 hours versus 1,000 hours for an incandescent bulb.
- A typical CFL bulb costs about $3 more than a regular incandescent bulb but saves an average of $30 over its lifetime in energy and replacement costs.
- Incandescent bulbs waste 90 percent of their energy creating heat.
- If every home in America replaced the five most frequently used bulbs in their home with ENERGY STAR® CFL bulbs, it would eliminate greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from more than eight million cars.
- Rebates are available for ENERGY STAR light fixtures.
