Lighting accounts for about 20 percent of the average home's electric bill.
Every time someone flips a light switch to turn on a light, coal is being burned at a power plant to
produce electricity, and as it is burned it releases carbon dioxide (CO2), mercury and other toxins.
The higher the bulb wattage, the more electricity needed to make it burn bright, and of course the more
electricity used means higher energy costs for you.
ENERGY STAR
® qualified lighting provides bright, warm light but uses about 75% less energy than standard
lighting, produce 75 percent less heat, and lasts up to 10 times longer.
