"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.

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.
