Benefits of CFLs
Save Energy
CFLs use roughly 1/4 as much energy as
incandescent bulbs. This means that you
can light a 60 watt fixture using as little as
13 watts of electricity. Lighting accounts for
about 15% of total residential energy
consumption in the U.S., and 23% of
commercial consumption, so making some
updates can really reduce your energy
consumption in a meaningful way.
Save Money
As mentioned above, CFLs can save a
significant amount of energy. This also
translates into some serious cost
savings as well. The EPA estimates that
the average CFL pays for itself in just 6
months.
LEDs are most well known for their extremely long life and
energy efficiency. LED useful life is based on the number
of operating hours until the LED is emitting 70% of its
initial light output. Top quality LEDs in well-designed
fixtures are expected to have a useful life of 30,000 to
50,000 hours, significantly higher than the 1,000 hours for
a typical incandescent bulb and 8,000 to 10,000 hours for
a comparable CFL. LEDs usually dont burn out like
incandescent bulbs do. Instead, they get progressively
dimmer over time. This can be helpful in critical lighting
areas. They also tend to use less than one-sixth as much
energy as their incandescent or halogen counterparts,
and 2-3 times less than most CFLs.
