A CFL is a type of fluorescent lamp that is roughly the size of a traditional incandescent light bulb. In many cases the CFL is designed to screw into a standard medium screw socket and replace an incandescent bulb. A CFL has a higher initial expense than an incandescent bulb, but uses less electrical power and lasts far longer.
