Traditional incandescent lightbulbs are on the way out. There is a new alternative that lasts longer and uses less energy: CFC light bulbs, or compact flourescent. While we are waiting for even more efficient and long lasting LED light bulbs to be developed for home use, CFC light bulbs are a great way to make your home more green.
These bulbs fit into your existing light sockets and will last 8,000-10,000 hours, more than 10 incandescent light bulbs and uses 75% less energy, meaning 75% savings on your electricity bill. Quite simply, over their lifetime, compact flourescent bulbs pay for themselves.
