environment. CFLs use up to 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs.

"Replacing incandescent bulbs with CFLs was easy"
My family has made the switch to compact fluorescent lamps throughout our home. We wanted to do
our part to help the environment by reducing our energy use. Replacing incandescent bulbs with CFLs
was easy for us to do, and the best part is we’re saving on our monthly electric bill.

Myth:
CFLs don't produce as much light as standard incandescent bulbs.
Fact:
Check the lumen rating on the package. The higher the lumen rating, the greater the
light output, even though the wattage may be the same.
CFLs come in different colors, such as soft white, bright white, and natural or
daylight. ENERGY STAR provides an interactive room to help you choose the right
