You don't need to break the bank on your electrical bill each month in order to enjoy soft bright lights. Toss that short-life, high-energy incandescent bulb and replace it with the 13-Watt Mini-Twist CFL, a compact fluorescent bulb that fits in any standard bulb base and emits 800 Lumens comparable to the 850 Lumens emitted by a 60-watt incandescent bulb. You'll conserve energy with every use without sacrificing the soft glow associated with incandescent lamps, and this long-life bulb will last up to 8000 hours, more than five times that of standard, 1500-hour incandescent bulbs.Fluorescent Lighting Benefits Fluorescent lamps aren't just for the workshop any more. Fluorescent lighting provides the performance, color and energy-efficiency you want at an affordable price. Screw the 13-Watt Mini-Twist CFL into any lamp, recessed lighting fixture, or anywhere else you would install an incandescent bulb to start saving energy: This bulb will save up to $37 in energy costs over the life of the bulb. Fluorescent bulbs can even be included with your home automation system: Plug the lamp into an ApplianceLinc for instant remote control using any INSTEON or X10 controller. What Size Bulb Do You Need? Here's a good rule of thumb for selecting a compact fluorescent bulb: Divide the wattage of your desired incandescent bulb by 4 to determine the approximate wattage of compact fluorescent lamp that will provide similar light output. Compact fluorescent bulbs are also available in a 20-watt version (comparable to a 75-watt incandescent bulb) and a 23-watt version (comparable to a 100-watt incandescent bulb).
