Compact fluorescent:

750 hours is the average life span of an incandescent lightbulb;
10,000 hours is the average life span of a compact fluorescent lightbulb (CFL);
Use at least 2/3 less energy than standard incandescent bulbs to provide the same amount of light, and last up to 10 times longer;
Save $30 or more in energy costs over each bulb’s lifetime;
Generate 70 percent less heat, so they are safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling; and
Are available in different sizes and shapes to fit in almost any fixture, for indoors and outdoors.
