Switch over to CFL lamps

Are you still using incandescent bulbs in your home or office?
The most common reason we keep hearing for people not using CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) is that they are costly. But if you consider the savings that they bring about in your electricity bills over time, they are undoubtedly a better alternative.
Yes, a CFL does cost more than a traditional bulb. But remember that a 15W CFL will give you the same amount of light as a 60W incandescent bulb. So that's a straightforward reduction in 45W of electricity per hour.
What's more, CFLs last much longer than conventional bulbs. They also do not heat up like the bulbs do.
