Why would I want to use a Compact Fluorescent downlight instead of an Incandescent downlight?
Compact Fluorescent downlights provide the same output as incandescent lamps but use only 1⁄4 the amount of energy. So you could use a 26W CFL unit in place of a 100W incandescent unit. In addition the average life hours of compact fluorescent lamps far exceeds the hours of incandescent lamps. Most fluorescent lamps are rated 10,000 hours as opposed to 1500 hours for a halogen Par lamp.
