The key difference between Fluorescents and Incandescents is how they "create" light. A compact fluorescent may cost more to buy than an incandescent but CFL's can save 8 to 12 times their cost.
- Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are one of the smartest investments you can make because they use at least 66 per cent less electricity than standard bulbs and last up to eight times longer. Changling a single 100-watt bulb to a CFL can save 108 kWh about $15 per year.*
- Always look for the ENERGY STAR® logo when buying CFLs. This symbol guarantees your CFLs have met strict specifications for quality, long life, brightness and electricity savings.
- CFLs come in a variety of colour tones, from warm and yellowish to cool and bluish-white. Unless the packaging says "cool" or "daylight," your bulbs will have a yellowy tone.
- 1When shopping for CFLs, remember that specialty bulbs are required for dimmer switches and tri-lights. Check the packaging to make sure the bulb is designed for your fixture. Specialty CFLs are also available for motion sensors, photocells, torchiere floor lamps and enclosed fixtures.
- Change your old incandescent bulbs before they burn out and start saving now.
