Can using SpringLight compact fluorescent lighting really save energy and save money on my electric bill?
Yes. A single 19 watt CFL bulb burns 56 watts less than a comparable 75 watt incandescent bulb and provides the same amount of pleasing, warm white light. Over the 10,000 hour life of a CFL bulb, you would save 560 kilowatt hours. At 12 cents per kilowatt-hour, that’s a $67.20 energy cost savings per bulb. And don’t forget to deduct the cost of replacing 10 to 13 incandescent bulbs, which generally last only 750 to 1,000 hours each.
