Would save enough energy to light more than 2.5 million homes for a year! Would prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of nearly 800,000 cars! Would save more than 8 billion kilowatt hours of energy! Can prevent more than 450 pounds of emissions from a power plant during the life of the CFL!

By simply changing your bulbs to these more energy efficient ones, you can make a global difference. More importantly, these bulbs use at least 2/3 less energy and produce 70% less heat. We want you to reap the benefits from this small change! It's easy and can reduce your electricity bill.

 

 

To calculate your savings follow these easy steps:

Enter Your kWh usage and the charged per kwh used(What your provider charges you per kWh) and click Calculate. Calculate your potential savings.
*Energy savings will vary.

If every U.S. household replaces the incandescent lighting in their five most frequently used fixtures with compact fluorescent light bulbs, the nation would save enough electricity as the equivalent of shutting down 21 power plants!
