WANT TO SAVE LOTS OF MONEY??
- Switch your standard bulbs to (CFL) Compact Fluorescent Lights.
- CFL bulbs use up to 75% less power than incandescent bulbs. That is a ratio of 1-4. Basically you pay for 7 days of lighting in your home and get 21 days free!
- CFL’s last up to 10 times longer!
- CFL bulbs are 90% cooler than incandescent bulbs. This helps to reduce air conditioning costs in the summer.
- Changing out just one light bulb to a CFL will save you approximately $45 in electricity over its lifetime. Multiply that by the number of bulbs in your home and the savings add up quick!
- New style CFL’s are now available in a warm tone that is very similar to an incandescent light output. Costco sells a three pack that are encased, meaning they look like a standard flood bulb. They can also be dimmed utilizing a standard dimmer.
- They are good for the environment. Replacing a single incandescent bulb with a CFL will keep ½ ton of co2 out of the atmosphere over the life of the bulb!
- CFL’s come in such a wide variety you can replace virtually every bulb in your home. Home Depot and Lowes have a great selection.
- Don’t forget, in the average home 25% of your electric bill is from lighting.
