2U Energy saving lamp CFL

Compact Fluorescent Lamp Energy saving lamp Operating Voltage: 110-130V or 220-240V Frequency: 50/60Hz Average lifetime: 6,000hours, 8,000hours, 10,000hours Optional base: E27,E14 or B22 Color Temperature: 2,700 and 6,400K Energy saving lamp: Benefits. Efficient: CFLs are four times more efficient and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent.A 22 watt CFL have about the same light output as a 100 watt incandescent. CFLs use 50-80% less energy than incandescents.Less expensive: Although initially more expensive, you save money in the long run because CFLs use 1/3 the electricity and last up to 10 times as long as incandescents. A single 18 watt CFL used in place of a 75 watt incandescent will save about 570 kwh over its lifetime.At 8 cents per kwh, that equated to a $45 savings.Environmental Protection: reduce Air and Water pollution. Replacing a single incandescent bulb with a CFL will keep a half – ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the life of the bulb.H-quality light: Newer CFLs give a warm, inviting light instead of the “cool white” light of the older fluorescents. They use rare earth phosphors for excellent color and warmth. New electronically ballasted CFLs donot flicker or hum. Versatile: CFLs can be applied nearly anywhere that incandescent lights are used.
