CFL Light bulbs Savers

 

 

 

We all grew up hearing turn the lights off when you leave the room. I remember few parents had installed motion sensors so the kids don’t waste electricity. Yes, they were correct when it came to incandescent light bulbs. As we all know lighting makes up about 10% of home energy costs, and CFLs can save up to 75% of that energy. They also last longer, saving money on replacements.

But turning the lights OFF when leaving the room is not true fact about compact fluorescent light (CFL), the more you turn ON and OFF the shorter their operating life. It saves money to leave fluorescent ON if you return within 15 minutes, according to Dept. of Energy

So next time if you or your kids leave the light ON just relax.
