Make the Switch to Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs

Here's a bright idea: energy-efficient lighting fixtures and bulbs. While you flip the switch on monthly cost savings, you make sure that the prospect for our environmental future never dims.

More than 20% of the electricity generated in the U.S. is used for lighting. Approximately half of this energy is wasted by lighting empty rooms or as heat produced by inefficient lamps. But it's easy to save money and energy with ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs and fixtures. They meet strict energy efficiency and quality specifications, using up to 75% less energy and lasting up to 10 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs.

The new generation of ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are longer lasting, brighter and much more efficient than lighting of the past. ENERGY STAR qualified lighting is diverse, versatile and elegant, with an energy efficient solution for almost every lighting fixture type and any design need.

Change a Light Change the World

Each fall save on ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs at participating retailers. Special pricing makes it easy to make the switch. You’ll find a variety of CFLs, including high-heat reflector bulbs—perfect for ceiling can lights or track lights—and spiral bulbs.

Look for specially priced CFLs in a range of styles and wattages from these participating manufacturers: Phillips, Feit Electric, TCP and GE. You’ll find them at: Costco, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Wal-Mart. Special incentive prices help to make the switch to ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs even easier.

CFLs provide great light quality and use less energy and last longer than standard lightbulbs. By choosing ENERGY STAR lightbulbs, you save energy, help cool global warming, reduce your energy costs and save on bulb replacements. Install CFLs throughout your home, and the savings will really add up.
