A 13w cfl can produce the same amount of lumens than a 60w incandescent.
Energy efficient light bulbs vs regular light bulbs.
This is the most obvious benefit of energy efficient light bulbs.
Leds and cfls are far much better than regular bulbs in so many aspects.
Energy efficient light bulbs depending on their quality can use up to 80 less wattage than regular bulbs directly translating into notable savings on an energy bill.
Typically use about 25 80 less energy than traditional incandescents saving you money.
It has been established that any led light can save at least 50 of the energy that an incandescent light uses.
For example a 60 watt regular bulb would cost 4 80 to use annually as opposed to a 12 watt led bulb that would cost as low as 1 00.
Why energy efficient light bulbs are better.
Compared to traditional incandescents energy efficient lightbulbs such as halogen incandescents compact fluorescent lamps cfls and light emitting diodes leds have the following advantages.
Can last 3 25 times longer.
In other words the use 78 3 less power for the same lumens.
