CFL Benefits

• One compact fluorescent light lasts eight to 12 times longer than a conventional bulb
  

• An ENERGY STAR qualified CFL can save an average of $30 or more in electricity costs over its lifetime 
  

• Lighting accounts for 20% of the average home's electric bill. The average home has about 30 light fixtures, which would mean a savings around $1,000 over the life of the bulbs. 
  

• ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs and fixtures produce about 70% less heat, so they can cut home cooling costs.
