Energy Saver – Fluorescent Light Bulbs
On November - 16 - 2008
Fluorescent light bulbs save energy and are an easy change to make in your home. It makes sense to make the change. It is easy and cost effective. The bulbs come in all shapes and sizes and are sold at most stores. The following information is from the Energy Star website.
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.
- ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer.
- Save about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb’s lifetime.
- Produce about 75 percent less heat, so they’re safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling.
