Can Energy Star qualified CFLs be used in recessed cans, outdoor fixtures or track lighting?
Yes. CFLs come in different sizes and shapes to fit almost any fixture and offer convenience, because they last longer. In addition, CFLs produce about 70% less heat than standard incandescent bulbs, so they’re safer to operate in closed fixtures and can help cut energy costs associated with home cooling. When shopping, always look for ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs for the highest quality.
