Why do SpringLight compact fluorescent lights cost more than incandescent bulbs?
The price of a high quality SpringLight compact fluorescent light bulb reflects technology development costs. And, each compact fluorescent light bulb has a built-in micro-sized ballast, adding to the cost. As the number of bulbs sold increases, the overall price will continue to decline. SpringLight CFLs offer great value. The extra initial price is quickly made up by energy savings. And, you would have to buy up to 10 incandescent light bulbs to last as long as one SpringLight CFL. With utility rebates included, the price for one CFL on average is not much more than for one incandescent light bulb, and in some cases is less.
