Introducing CFL LIGHTS

Compact Flourescent Lamps

• A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called
  compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light,
  and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent
  lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp

Fluorescent and Compact Fluorescent Bulbs 

• The bad rap fluorescent lamps received for their
  delayed start-ups, buzzing, and bad color has
  flickered out as improvements in technology have
  resulted in fluorescents with color temperatures
  and renditions comparable to incandescent lamps.
  Fluorescent lamps use 25 to 35 percent of the
  energy used by incandescent lamps to provide the
  same amount of illumination and last about 10
  times longer. Fluorescent lights are most popular
  in garages, utility rooms, and home offices where
  heat would become an issue. They give about
  two-thirds to three-quarters less heat than
  incandescent bulbs. The diffused light of a long
  fluorescent tube can also provide non-glare
  accent lighting for interior decoration. The DOE
  suggests that people Install fluorescent light
  fixtures for all ceiling- and wall-mounted
  fixtures that will be on for more than 2 hours
  each day.

• A newer fluorescent technology, the compact
  fluorescent light bulb (CFL) looks like and fits
  incandescent fixtures but consumes only 20 to 33
  percent of the power of an equivalent
  incandescent lamp and lasts 13 times longer. An
  average residential customer in Ohio who installs
  six CFLs can save an estimated 49.25 annually.
  When it comes to practical applications, the most
  important criterion for any bulb is its color
  rendition. The Color Rendition Index is a 1100
  scale that measures a light's ability to show
  colors the same way sunlight does. CFLs rating
  falls between 65 and 88, which the DOE labels as
  good. A light source with a rating of 80 or
  higher is considered acceptable for most indoor
  residential applications. The DOE recommends the
  use of CFLs in portable lighting fixtures that
  are operated for more than 2 hours a day.

Free CFL Bulbs 

• How about free CFL bulbs and an annual electric
  savings of 50? FirstEnergy's Ohio utilities,
  which include Ohio Edison, The Illuminating
  Company, and Toledo Edison, are providing just
  that. The CFL program provides residential and
  small business customers with up to six
  high-efficiency bulbs delivered to their home or
  business. The 23-watt bulbs are EnergyStar rated
  and designed to replace the 100-watt incandescent
  bulbs. FirstEnergy will also distribute CFLs
  through other channels, including its online
  store and local agencies that assist low-income
  customers. Customers can also find CFL bulbs for
  50 cents at participating home improvement
  stores.

Bright side of CFL

• Compact fluorescent lamps are four time more
  efficient than traditional light bulbs. (13 Watt
  CFL would give off as much light as a 60 Watt
  incandescent).
• CFL bulbs use approximately 75 less energy than
  incandescent light bulbs.
• CFL has long life compared to incandescent light
  bulbs.
• Compact fluorescent light bulbs are easily
  shrinking power bill and carbon footprint.
• CFL reduces greenhouse gas emissions and other
  pollutants created by fossil-fuel power plants.
• Price so CFL is less compared to incandescent
  light bulbs.

Dark Side Of CFL Bulbs

• The researchers tested a number of CFL bulbs from
  across New York State, examining the bulbs
  impact on collagen-producing skin cells and the
  epidermal cell that generates keratin (a
  structural material in the skins outer layer).
  After comparing skin cells exposed to the CFL
  bulbs with those exposed to incandescents, they
  discovered that only the skin exposed to the
  former bulb type experienced damage.
