What is Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs/Lamps?
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is also known as a compact fluorescent light or energy saving light. CFL light bulb is designed to replace standard incandescent screw-in light bulb which is often used in residential and office areas, such as table lamps, wall sconces, and other general lightings. Compact Fluorescent lamps use less power and have a longer rated life compared to general service incandescent lamps, while giving the same amount of visible light.
Advantages
Longer Lamp Life
The average rated life of a CFL is between 8 and 15 times that of incandescents. See the comparison chart below.

Energy Efficient
For a given light output, CFLs use 20 to 33 percent of the power of equivalent.


Less Heat
CFLs use less electricity than incandescent bulbs, thus give much less heat.


Energy Saving = Save $$
CFLs are extremely cost-effective in commercial buildings when used to replace incandescent lamps. Using average U.S. commercial electricity and gas rates for 2006, a 2008 article found that replacing each 75 W incandescent lamp with a CFL resulted in yearly savings of $22 in energy usage, reduced HVAC cost, and reduced labor to change lamps. The incremental capital investment of $2 per fixture is typically paid back in about one month. Savings are greater and payback periods shorter in regions with higher electric rates and, to a lesser extent, also in regions with higher than U.S. average cooling requirements.
