Light Bulbs

Energy efficient bulbs in the form of Compact Fluorescent Lights, (CFL), and Light Emitting Diode, (LED), have resulted in massive reduction in energy costs. The CFLs, for example, are 4 times more efficient and last up to 10 times longer than ordinary incandescent bulbs.

Although these energy efficient bulbs are more expensive to purchase than the incandescent, their long-term efficiency and cost reduction makes them the ideal choice for anybody keen on saving energy costs. The energy consumed by CFLs is a third of the energy consumed by incandescent . For example, an 18-watt CFL bulb used in place of a 75 watt incandescent will save about 570 kWh over its lifetime.

For environmental conservation, the energy saving bulbs are also ideal as they reduce both air and water pollution. Replacing a single incandescent with a CFL helps keep half a ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere during the bulb’s life. Any saving in electricity consumption is encouraged as it also reduces high-level-nuclear waste and sulfur oxide emissions.

Energy efficient bulbs are also very easy to use. The CFLs fit perfectly into the standard lamp sockets and give off light similar to the light emitted by ordinary incandescent bulbs. These bulbs can be used anywhere that ordinary incandescent bulbs are used – on ceiling fixtures, on table lamps, on porch lights, etc. In addition to this versatility in use, CFLs also produce a warm inviting light as they use rare earth phosphors for color and warmth. They also do not flicker or hum.
