Fluorescent Light Bulbs
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR, we would save enough energy to light more than 2.5 million homes for a year and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of nearly 800,000 cars.
| A-shaped Incandescent Bulb (Watts) | Typical Lumens (Measure of Light Output) |
|---|---|
| 40 | > 450 |
| 60 | > 800 |
| 75 | > 1,100 |
| 100 | > 1,600 |
| 150 | > 2,600 |
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution. When you use less energy at home, you lessen greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere. Every CFL can prevent more than 450 pounds of emissions from a power plant over its lifetime.
