Replace your standard light bulbs with CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) and make your lighting four times more efficient. Beyond saving money, you won't have to change bulbs for years. CFLs are so incredibly efficient because they use less energy (watts) to produce the same amount of light (lumens) as a comparable incandescent bulb-in some cases a full 80% less! For example, a 15W CFL is as bright as a 60W incandescent bulb, which means the CFL saves 45 watts of energy for every hour it is on. Multiply that by several hours and several light fixtures, and you will be saving watts and watts of cash. Get started on this bright idea today.
