A Bright Idea
Save energy and money with compact fluorescent bulbs

If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars. Compact fluorescent bulbs are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, for use in various kinds of indoor and outdoor fixtures. Click here for more information.
