Compact fluorescent bulbs are much more efficient at producing
light than are ordinary incandescent bulbs. They initially cost
much more, but last far longer and use much less electricity.
According to one study of these bulbs, a compact bulb that produces
as much light as a 100 W incandescent bulb uses only 23.0 W of
power. The compact bulb lasts 10000 hours, on the average, and
costs $ 11.00, whereas the incandescent bulb costs only $ 0.76, but
lasts just...
