Tip: Fluorescent Lighting
Use linear fluorescent and energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamps in fixtures throughout your home to provide high-quality and high-efficiency lighting.
Fluorescent lamps are much more efficient than incandescent bulbs and last six to ten times longer.
Although fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps are more expensive than incandescent bulbs, they often pay for themselves by saving energy over time.
