Make the switch! From regular ugly light bulbs to beautiful life-changing CFL lamps!
Why you may ask??? Because CFL ENERGY STARS are amazing! They use less energy and save you money! Help fight climate change!
Fun Fact: If every American exchanged a regular light bulb for an ENGERY STAR light we would save $600 million annually and 9 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions!! Which is equivalent to 800,000 cars!
ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs save $6 a year and $40 over its lifetime. Which is amazing! They use 75% less energy and last 6 times longer!
Replacing the five most frequently-used light bulbs in your house with CFL bulbs will save you at least $65 per year on your energy bills!
A CFL light bulb lasts about ten times longer than a normal light bulb. This means that not only are you going to save a lot of energy in your home but you’re also going to avoid having to change your light bulbs very often. That’s always an annoying task so this is a great little added benefit.
