Home Lighting - Compact Fluorescent Bulbs

Light the Way to a Cleaner Environment

Did You Know? If every household in the United States replaced its next bulb or fixture with an ENERGY STAR® labeled model, we would save more than 8 billion kWh of energy and the equivalent in air pollution of removing 1.2 million cars from the road

What is the real environmental impact?

You may have heard that CFLs contain mercury and might be wondering what is the real environmental impact? One CFL will reduce the mercury in the environment by 9.6 milligrams as compared to a traditional light bulb. You will also spend less time changing light bulbs and generate less solid waste.
