Why choose Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL)?
• CFL technology has several advantages over incandescent lighting technology: it is four times more efficient and lasts up to 10 times longer, it uses about 75% less energy, and produces 90% less heat while delivering more light. In addition, they provide a flicker-free start, soft-white light, are environmentally friendly, and come in a variety of styles.

Energy-efficient CFLs can be used anywhere incandescent bulbs are used: in recessed fixtures, table lamps, ceiling fixtures and porch lights. Make sure to choose the Color Temperature that is right for you; for example: Approx. 2700K = Warm White (looks just like incandescent) and Approx. 4100K = Cool White (white/blue, often higher CRI).
