Since compact fluorescent bulbs use less
energy to operate, they place less demand on the power companies, and help
reduce plant pollution and waste. A singe 13 watt Good Earth Lighting fixture over it’s 10,000
hour life can save the following when compared to an ordinary 60 watt
incandescent fixture:
400 pounds of
coal, 1200 pounds of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming
and …16 pounds of acid rain production emissions, 25 milligrams of
plutonium waste if your energy source is nuclear.

Savings |
1 x 13 Watt Fixture |
Save $47.00 |
2 x 13 Watt Fixture |
Save $94.00 |
1 x 30 Watt Fixture |
Save $100.00 |
*Savings are computed for typical 10,000 hours of a 13 watt compact
fluorescent bulb vs. a 60 watt incandescent bulb. For the computation, we’ve
used a typical energy cost of 10 cents per kilowatt hour. Because energy costs
across the country vary ,your actual saving may differ from those shown above.
In addition ,because ordinary incandescent bulbs have a typical life of 750
hours ,you will save even more in bulb replacement costs.

A
Brighter Idea
Compact fluorescent bulbs last an average of 10,000 hours
(5 years of typical use) compared with only 750 hours for a typical incandescent
bulb
