what are the benefits of using compact fluorescent light bulbs?
Advantages of CFLs You can replace a 100-watt incandescent bulb with a 22-watt CFL and get the same amount of light. CFLs use 50- to 80-percent less energy than incandescent lights. While initially they cost more, CFLs are less expensive in the long run because they last much longer than incandescent bulbs.
