LED & Compact Fluorescent Light Blubs
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with CFL bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.
- CFL bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer.
- Save about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb's lifetime.
- Produce about 75 percent less heat, so they're safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling.
The best areas to use qualified CFLs in are usually found in the following areas of your home:
- family and living rooms
- kitchen
- dining room
- bedrooms
- outdoors
