Compact Fluorescent. Compact fluorescent bulbs use significantly less energy, about 75% less. The added bonus is that while these bulbs cost a bit more at the store, they last for years. The average light bulb used in a high traffic area lasts 4-6 months. A compact fluorescent bulb lasts up to 10 times longer. This is just one simple way to help save energy in our homes. A few simple steps can save you hundreds of dollars a year and conserves energy.

An even better choice is LED. They last much, much longer. Use even less energy than CF bulbs. And they contain NO mercury. They are expensive, but they last a long time. CF bulbs are very hard on our environment although they are energy efficient.
