New fluorescents trump incandescents
Qlistened to Al Gore on television, and he mentioned new compact fluorescent light bulbs for homes. Can I use these in existing lamps, and how much electricity will they save? Is the light quality acceptable? Aompact fluorescent lights have been available for many years. Over the past several years, their prices have dropped considerably, and their light quality is much better. Today, they are much more commonly used in existing lamps and in new designer lamps. Switching from a standard incandescent bulb to a compact fluorescent light reduces electricity consumption by about 75 percent. Replacing a 100-watt light bulb with a 24-watt CFL can save more than $50 in electricity over the life of the light. The most efficient bulbs use light-emitting diode technology, which saves about 90 percent.
