Our goal of distributing 10,000 compact
fluorescent light bulbs is getting
closer!
7,812
CFL's and counting!
FACTS about CACT's energy-saving CFL's:
- use 75% less energy than regular bulbs, same light
- burn for 12,000 hours (vs. 1,000 for regular)
- last from 7 to 10 years (burning 3-4 hours per day)
- are Energy Star rated by the EPA
- come on instantly and are flicker-free
- produce a warm white light
Why make the switch?
Environmental Savings
Replace one 60-watt with a 13-watt CFL, you prevent
662 pounds of CO2
Replace one 75-watt with a 20-watt CFL, you prevent
762 pounds of CO2
Replace one 100-watt with a 25-watt CFL, you prevent
1,050 pounds of
CO2
Converting 2 regular
100-watt bulbs to 25-watt CFL bulbs will prevent over a ton of pollution!
Economic Savings
In utility bill savings (over the life of
the bulb), installing one...
13-watt CFL will save you $33.00
20-watt CFL will save you $39.00
25-watt CFL will save you $53.00
Cost savings based on utility rate of 7 cents per KWH
