Let CFLs Light Up Your Night, Not Your Electric Bill

Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are a great way to improve lighting around your house, use less electricity and save on your energy bill.  Here are some fast facts about CFLs:

CFLs
  • ENERGY STAR® CFLs use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer.
  • Just one CFL can save $30 in energy costs over the life of the bulb.
  • CFLs produce 75 percent less heat, making them safer to the touch. That also means less work for your air conditioner, saving more energy and money.
  • CFLs perform best in open fixtures that allow airflow, such as table and floor lamps, wall sconces, hanging lamps and outdoor fixtures.
  • CFLs now come in many different sizes and shapes for bathroom vanities, ceiling fan light fixtures and decorative fixtures.
  • CPS Energy offers a $2 instant rebate coupon for a single pack CFL and a $4 instant rebate coupon for a multi-pack of CFLs at participating H-E-B stores.  Coupons can be printed from our Web site or you can find them at all H-E-B stores.
