Do-It-Yourself Maintenance Tips / Choosing the Right Bulb

Replace incandescent bulbs with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) -- CFLs can give the same amount and quality of light as incandescent bulbs, yet use one-third the amount of energy and last ten times longer. A CFL can save over $30 in electricity costs over the lamp's lifetime compared to an incandescent bulb and save 2,000 times their own weight in green house gases.
