Compact Fluorescent Lamp

Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) cost more than incandescent lamps, but can save over $40.00 in electricity costs over the lifetime of the lamp. Improved phosphor formulations have improved the color of the light emitted by CFLs so much that "soft white" CFLs are very similar in color to standard incandescent lamps.

Compact Flourescent Lamps contain mercury, which is poisonous, and must be disposed of properly.

The Bright Effects ™ 13 Watt Compact Fluorescent light bulb is promoted as a replacement for a 60 Watt incandescent light bulb. Its rated life is 8,000 hours, compared to the 1,000 hour life of the incandescent blub.
