Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs — Online and at Wal-Mart Stores
Here’s a simple way to save money, energy and the environment: Replace one 60-watt incandescent light bulb with an equivalent 13-watt compact fluorescent light bulb.
Save Money by Saving Energy
Compared to standard incandescent light bulbs, one compact fluorescent light bulb saves an average of $35 in energy costs over the life of the bulb. That means that if you change 30 light bulbs in your home, you can save over $1,000.
Additionally, a compact fluorescent light bulb:
- Uses up to 75% less energy
- Lasts up to 12 times longer than a conventional bulb
- Stays cooler
- Has the same quality of light

Save the Environment
When you change to compact fluorescent light bulbs, you take a step in the right direction to preserve energy resources and our environment for this generation and the next.
Wal-Mart has over 100 million customers. That means if each customer bought just one compact fluorescent light bulb, it would:
- Keep 22 billion lbs of coal from burning at power plants
- Equate to removing 700,000 cars worth of greenhouse gases from the air
- Keep 700 million incandescent light bulbs from landfills
Look for compact fluorescent light bulbs and other products that feature the ENERGY STAR logo — they’re available online and at Wal-Mart stores.
