Guide to Fluorescent Light Bulbs

The energy saving benefits of compact fluorescent light bulbs


Compact fluorescent light bulbs are an important aspect of the global campaign to create energy efficiency. Compact fluorescent bulbs use approximately 75% less energy than a traditional incandescent light bulb will lasting an average of ten times longer. Though fluorescent light bulbs are more expensive than normal bulbs, the extended running time and energy efficiency end up saving money.

Fluorescent lighting is readily available and it is the duty of all responsible business owners to begin the transition from incandescent bulbs to the eco-friendly fluorescent light fixtures. There are some important points to consider when making the change to fluorescent lights.

1. Fluorescent bulbs create 75% less heat than a traditional bulb because of the way they produce light.

2. Consider the lumen rating when choosing your fluorescent light bulbs.

3. Compact fluorescent bulbs aren't for every fixture or location.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Differentiate between incandescent and fluorescent lights Traditional incandescent lighting create light by heating a filament, which in turn gets white-hot and creates a tremendous amount of lost energy. Fluorescent light bulb makers have perfected a method of containing a UV gas that, when excited by an electrical charge, creates light. Because no heat is created in the process, there is very little lost energy, making them a perfect money-saving, as well as energy-saving, possibility.

I recommend:  A wide selection CFL bulbs can be purchased E3 Living, which features eco-friendly lighting in a variety of designs and colors. The superstore Wal-Mart also an affordable selection of Energy Saver bulbs.

Understanding the wattage chart for fluorescent lighting One concern new users may have is trying to determine what wattage of compact fluorescent light bulb is comparable to the traditional light bulbs currently in use. Fluorescent lighting is generally 4 times more efficient. Therefore, a 15W compact fluorescent is the equivalent to a 60W traditional bulb. A 100W incandescent can be comparably replaced by a 26W-29W fluorescent.

I recommend:  Most fluorescent light bulb suppliers explain the wattage transfer on the package of their fluorescent lighting. You can find these at stores like 1000Bulbs.com, who sell full spectrum fluorescent light bulbs. Light World has a wide variety of bulbs, including the useful mini fluorescent light bulbs.

Know the restrictions of compact fluorescent bulbs While energy saving light bulbs are well worth the effort and up-front cost, they aren't suited for everything. Most fluorescent light bulb makers recommend using the bulbs in open fixtures to allow for adequate air flow. Also, many of these fluorescent bulbs are not recommended for vibrating surfaces, so using them in ceiling fans is not encouraged. However, this is an ever-changing marketplace and progress is being made to make CFL bulbs more universally useful.

I recommend:  Light Bulbs Etc. features a line of reflector lights that work better in recessed fixtures. Do It Best also offers these handy reflector bulbs.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Use caution when handling broken compact fluorescent light bulbs as these lights do contain a small amount of mercury. To properly dispose of a broken bulb, wrap it in a wet cloth, seal it in a plastic bag for disposal, and open nearby windows for 15 minutes to clear the air.
