Introducing CFL LIGHTS
2
Compact Flourescent Lamps
  • A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called
    compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light,
    and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent
    lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp

Fluorescent and Compact Fluorescent Bulbs 
  • The bad rap fluorescent lamps received for their
    delayed start-ups, buzzing, and bad color has
    flickered out as improvements in technology have
    resulted in fluorescents with color temperatures
    and renditions comparable to incandescent lamps.
    Fluorescent lamps use 25 to 35 percent of the
    energy used by incandescent lamps to provide the
    same amount of illumination and last about 10
    times longer. Fluorescent lights are most popular
    in garages, utility rooms, and home offices where
    heat would become an issue. They give about
    two-thirds to three-quarters less heat than
    incandescent bulbs. The diffused light of a long
    fluorescent tube can also provide non-glare
    accent lighting for interior decoration. The DOE
    suggests that people Install fluorescent light
    fixtures for all ceiling- and wall-mounted
    fixtures that will be on for more than 2 hours
    each day.

  • A newer fluorescent technology, the compact
    fluorescent light bulb (CFL) looks like and fits
    incandescent fixtures but consumes only 20 to 33
    percent of the power of an equivalent
    incandescent lamp and lasts 13 times longer. An
    average residential customer in Ohio who installs
    six CFLs can save an estimated 49.25 annually.
    When it comes to practical applications, the most
    important criterion for any bulb is its color
    rendition. The Color Rendition Index is a 1100
    scale that measures a light's ability to show
    colors the same way sunlight does. CFLs rating
    falls between 65 and 88, which the DOE labels as
    good. A light source with a rating of 80 or
    higher is considered acceptable for most indoor
    residential applications. The DOE recommends the
    use of CFLs in portable lighting fixtures that
    are operated for more than 2 hours a day.

Free CFL Bulbs 
  • How about free CFL bulbs and an annual electric
    savings of 50? FirstEnergy's Ohio utilities,
    which include Ohio Edison, The Illuminating
    Company, and Toledo Edison, are providing just
    that. The CFL program provides residential and
    small business customers with up to six
    high-efficiency bulbs delivered to their home or
    business. The 23-watt bulbs are EnergyStar rated
    and designed to replace the 100-watt incandescent
    bulbs. FirstEnergy will also distribute CFLs
    through other channels, including its online
    store and local agencies that assist low-income
    customers. Customers can also find CFL bulbs for
    50 cents at participating home improvement
    stores.

Bright side of CFL
  • Compact fluorescent lamps are four time more
    efficient than traditional light bulbs. (13 Watt
    CFL would give off as much light as a 60 Watt
    incandescent).
  • CFL bulbs use approximately 75 less energy than
    incandescent light bulbs.
  • CFL has long life compared to incandescent light
    bulbs.
  • Compact fluorescent light bulbs are easily
    shrinking power bill and carbon footprint.
  • CFL reduces greenhouse gas emissions and other
    pollutants created by fossil-fuel power plants.
  • Price so CFL is less compared to incandescent
    light bulbs.

Dark Side Of CFL Bulbs
  • The researchers tested a number of CFL bulbs from
    across New York State, examining the bulbs
    impact on collagen-producing skin cells and the
    epidermal cell that generates keratin (a
    structural material in the skins outer layer).
    After comparing skin cells exposed to the CFL
    bulbs with those exposed to incandescents, they
    discovered that only the skin exposed to the
    former bulb type experienced damage.
