Less Energy, More Light - CFL
Today in India at least 80 per cent of electricity is wasted – because of the kinds of lamps, bulbs and other implements we use that consume more electricity
CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lights) reduce electricity costs. A CFL bulb gives five times more light than conventional electric bulbs.
CFL burning hours are more than 8 times the normal ones.
Fluorescent tube lights, compact fluorescent lights, consume less electricity and do not produce too much heat.
Instead of using 60 W bulbs, if you would use 15 W CFL bulbs; you can save at least 45 W electricity consumption per hour. Per month you can save up to 11 units of consumption. You can reduce costs.
CFL bulbs last for at least 5 to 8 months.
By saving energy and electricity consumption this way, you will help light up those villages that have no electricity
