Replacing Incandescent Light Bulbs with CFLs Saves Electricity

By replacing your outdated incandescent bulbs with new, high-efficiency fluorescent lights, you can quickly and effectively save energy on your monthly electric bills. In fact, having Dr. Energy Saver® switch out those old bulbs with CFL's pays for itself faster than any other upgrades.

Dr. Energy Saver® Says...

What's good for your house is also good for your neighborhood. There's plenty at stake when you're talking about saving energy on lighting.

Think of this: if each house in the USA converted to energy efficient lighting, the saved energy would be the same as the energy created by 90 power plants!

In a single year, the reduced greenhouse gas emissions would be the equivalent of taking 800,000 cars off the road.

CFLs save in several ways:

• Increased efficiency: CFL's prove to be about 75% more efficient than incandescent lights.
• Longer lifespan: A CFL lasts approximately 10 time longer than standard incandescent bulbs.
• Cool Operators: A CFL typically operates at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while an incandescent bulb heats at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat has always been an inefficient byproduct of incandescent technology.
