How We Made Our Decisions

Although they might cost more upfront, CFLs can last up to thirteen times longer than incandescents and use 75 percent less energy, ultimately saving you money on the 10 to 15 percent of your electricity bill that goes to lighting. We chose just a few of the many companies that manufacture Energy Star CFLs (visit the Energy Star website, energystar.gov, for a complete list of light bulb models and fixtures), based on warmth and the amount of light they produced.
