How Do You Compare Energy Saving Light Bulbs?
Energy-efficient light bulbs are becoming more widespread in homes and businesses throughout the country. While these bulbs have a slightly higher price than regular incandescent bulbs, the savings in energy costs make the investment worthwhile. When choosing an energy-efficient bulb, make sure you know what to look for to find the right bulb at the right price. Consider where your new energy-saving light bulb will be used. The size and shape will need to be comparable in your old incandescent bulb. It may help to bring the old light bulb with you when looking for a new one. Look at the current light bulb you are using that you would like to replace. Note how many watts it uses, and keep this information handy when you go to buy a new energy-efficient light bulb. Your new light bulb should use significantly fewer watts. (Therefore, it uses less energy.) Though the wattage will be lower, your new light bulb should produce the same number of lumens (how much light is generated). For exam
