Replace regular light bulbs with
Energy-Saving Compact Fluorescent Lights

Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are energy efficient and screw into standard sockets. They produce the same quality of light and come in many of the same shapes as regular light bulbs. Learn more at www.globalwarmingsolutions.org.

CFLs produce 75% less global warming pollution than regular light bulbs

That's because each CFL uses only 25% of the electricity to produce the same amount of light as a regular bulb.

Even after accounting for the higher cost of the CFLs, replacing just 10 of your highest-use regular light bulbs with CFLs will save you more than $110/year! And, the CFLs last 7-10 times longer. Go to www.globalwarmingsolutions.org to find out more.


60 watt incandescent light bulb = 60W
Equivalent CFL = 15W
Equivalent LED bulb = 4W
Air conditioner load to remove heat from
60W bulb = 20W
from LED = 2W
