The technology available in these areas is further described to support our efficiency goal. Fluorescent vs. Incandescent Fluorescent lighting is much more energy efficient than incandescent lighting. Fluorescent light bulb use a quarter of the energy used by incandescent light bulbs while still maintaining energy output.
Incandescent bulbs waste a lot of energy and are a very inefficient source of light.
Only five percent of the energy put in to an incandescent bulb actually becomes light while the other ninety-five percent becomes heat. Replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs can yield annual savings of up to 110 kWh per light source. Fluorescent light bulbs also last ten times longer than incandescent bulbs. While an incandescent bulbs lasts only 1000 hrs, a fluorescent light bulb can lasts for 10,000 hours. Fluorescent light bulbs are clearly the energy efficient choice.
