What light bulb energy savings can be expected when replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs use about 70% less energy than a standard incandescent light bulb and last up to 10 times longer. Replacing a 100-watt incandescent with a 32-watt compact fluorescent bulb can save at least $30 in energy costs over the life of the bulb. What are the environmental benefits of using compact fluorescent light bulbs? If every household in the U.S. replaced one standard light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb, it would prevent enough pollution to equal removing one million cars from the road. Compact fluorescent light bulbs provide high-quality light, smart technology and design, requiring less energy while lasting longer than typical incandescent bulbs.
