The incandescent light bulb has been a staple in the lighting fixtures in most of our homes. Yet, the
incandescent bulb is actually better at producing heat than light and uses a lot of electricity in the
process. ENERGY STAR® qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) save energy and money while
providing quality light for your home.
To learn more about the money- and energy-saving benefits of CFLs, as well as how to recycle them, view the fact sheet below. Lighting Fact Sheet
The light-emitting diode (LED) is a new light source that differs in important ways from existing light sources. To learn more about this emerging technology, visit DOE's Web site or view the fact sheet below. Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Basics
The next step in energy efficient lighting is light-emitting diode (LED) technology. This technology offers many benefits
over old-fashioned incandescent bulbs, and even over today’s compact fluorescent lamps—including low power consumption,
longer life, compact size and reliable operation in cold temperatures. See the fact sheet below for more information. NEW! Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Fact Sheet
