Why use compact fluorescent light bulbs? Compact fluorescent light bulbs require approximately one-fourth to one-third of the electricity needed by an incandescent light bulb to produce the same amount of light. Using less electricity will result in lower electricity costs and reduce the environmental impact associated with the production of electricity.

This globe style light bulb is especially suitable for use in open fixtures in which the bulb will be visible, such as hanging pendants and some types of bathroom vanity fixtures.
