ENERGY STAR Qualified Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
(CFLs)
Compact Fluorescent Light
bulbs have come of age. Early CFLs were slow
starting, were limited in variety, and did
not work in situations with dimmers and
three-way sockets. The variety in CFLs now
make these replacement bulbs economical in
their purchase, and economical in their
energy usage.
These light bulbs are offered
as part of the whole-house Energy Efficiency
Package through Improveit! Home
Remodeling. Combine this package with other
Improveit! products and you may see a
significant decrease in the amount you are
spending for heating and air conditioning.
Ask you design consultant for energy saving
guarantees. These are some basic facts on
lighting and the use of CFLs in the home:
-
10% of a home’s energy budget is
dedicated to lighting. 1
-
ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs reduce
lighting energy use by 50% to 75%. 1
-
Uses 75% less energy, produces 75% less
heat, and lasts up to 10X longer. 1
-
Will save you about $30 or more in
electricity costs over each bulb’s
lifetime. 1
