Fluorescent Light Bulbs

To light up a dark room, replace your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights. Fluorescent lights not only improve the quality of light, but also burn cooler and provide more light per watt of energy than incandescent bulbs.

Instead of comparing the cost of the two bulbs, compare the energy bills. Fluorescent lights use 70% less energy and last up to ten times longer. Enough said. Purchase fluorescent bulbs at your local hardware or lighting store or visit www.compactoffer.com. Remember to recycle your used bulbs properly in order to avoid mercury toxicity in our land and water. Check with your local hardware store or visit www.greenguardian.com for disposal options.

The best advice for conserving energy is this: turn off the lights when you leave a room!
