Compact Fluorescent & LED Energy Efficient Light Bulbs
Energy efficient lighting is an essential part of a green home. Most standard light bulbs and fixtures are incredibly wasteful, but now, you can light your space effectively and efficiently.
Compact fluorescent lighting (CFL) uses less than a quarter of the power that incandescent house lights use, while providing the same brightness. They have a much longer lifespan, lasting up to ten times longer, and they maintain a cooler temperature.
