The Energy Savings of Low Hanging Fruit

The Energy Şavings of "Low Hanging Fruith What would happen if we all did just a little bit? I. What if Everyone Changed a Lightbulb? 60 Watts 13 Watts A 13 watt compact fluorescent light (CFL) produces the same light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb An ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulb (ĆFL) will save about $30 over its lifetime and pay for itself in about 6 months.
