How many CFLs are being sold?
According to estimates by the US EPA, total Energy Star® CFL sales for 2007 totaled approximately 290 million bulbs, nearly double the sales in 2006, and constituted nearly 20% of the screw-base light bulb market in the US. While the majority of CFLs are Energy Star compliant, some are not, which means actual total sales of CFLs in the US in 2007 was over 300 million.
