Energy Efficient Lighting
Benefits:
- CFLs are 4 X more efficient and last up to 10 X longer
than incandescent bulbs.
- CFL (equivalent of 75 Watt incandescent) saves about $90
over its lifetime, assuming 16 cents per kWh electricity cost.
- New CFLs don't flicker or hum, are versatile, provide excellent
color and warmth and are available in dimmable models.
- LEDs last up to 10X longer than CFLs and consumes
about 1/3 as much energy.
- LEDs are solid, rugged, do not contain mercury and do not
cause substantial heat build-up.
Ideal for homes and small businesses with:
- Substantial lighting needs that are met predominantly
with incandescent bulbs.
How it Works:
- Incandescents generate light by passing electricity through a filament, which produces more heat than light.
- CFLs and LEDs are significantly more efficient at producing light and consume less power.
