One compact fluorescent bulb equals thirteen standard bulbs and last 10 times longer. A standard 100 watt light bulb lasts approximately 750 hours. CFLs last up to 9 years at normal household use of 3 hours per day or approximately 10,000 hours, 13 times longer than a standard light bulb. A 23 watt replacement CFL produces the same amount of light that a 100 watt bulb and puts out a soft white light.

One CFL can save $92 in energy costs based on 12¢ per KWH.

Also available are CFL Bug Lights that detract insects. They are an excellent energy saving choice for fixtures, porch, and deck lights.
