by
Lois Dewitt
Introduced to the market in 1980, CFL's have improved considerably--costing less, lighting instantly, not flickering and giving off a good, white light. But to date only abut 5% of light bulbs purchase are CFL's, the rest being incandescents.

by
Dom Ciccone
Compact Fluorescent Lights, or CFLs as I will be referring to them throughout this article, are the new standard in home lighting. CFLs are designed to replace your existing incandescent light bulbs, and can help save you money on your electricity bill because of their superior energy efficiency rating. CFLs, in general, provide the same amount of light as your existing bulbs but offer a much longer lifetime of use and require significantly less power.
