Did you know...
ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs last six to ten times longer than standard
bulbs and use a lot less energy.
ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs are so energy-efficient that they pay for themselves.
In fact, you can save $25 in energy costs over the life of each ENERGY STAR qualified CFL
(compact fluorescent light bulb) that replaces a 75-watt incandescent bulb.
Calculate the savings you could see by changing to ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs.
90% of an incandescent bulb's energy escapes as heat and only 10% is used for light?
ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs use 2/3 less energy and are cooler to the touch.
Incredibly, one 20-watt ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs provides the same amount of light as
a 60-watt incandescent bulb.
Changing your bulb to one that has earned the ENERGY STAR can make a difference. ENERGY
STAR qualified bulbs prevent more than 500 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions over their
lifetime. This is the equivalent of saving 445 pounds of coal from being burned to
generate electricity.
