The advantages of using CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) in place of standard incandescent lamps:

• 5% of energy used by an incandescent lamp is converted to light 95% is given off as heat.
• 1,300 pounds of carbon dioxide can be saved when a 75watt incandescent lamp is replaced with a 20 watt CFL which gives off the equal light.
• $55 dollars would be saved by you the consumer on replacement of light bulbs, over the life of one CFL.
• A standard 75 watt incandescent lamp lasts 750 hours.
• A 20 watt CFL replacement lamp lasts 10,000 hours. (13.3 times longer)
• A 20 watt CFL lamp over the period of its life (10,000 hours) will use 180 Kilowatt hours of electricity.
• A 75 watt incandescent lamp would consume 750 Kilowatts in 10,000 hours and require 13.3 lamps to last the 10,000 hours.
• CFL lamps fight global warming by reducing energy consumption.
• CFL lamps fight pollution by reducing energy consumption and land fill use.
• CFL lamps save money by lasting longer and using less energy.

The energy consumption of the average home can be reduced from 35 to 55% simply by changing the incandescent lamps to CFL lamps of equal light output.

Even greater savings can be realized in businesses that have lights on for 8 hours or more a day by changing out light fixtures and lighting schemes. Call us for an energy and lighting survey so we can show you how to save right to your bottom line.
