Question: why cfl is better than electric bulb?
Answer: CFLs are up to four times more efficient than incandescent bulbs. You can replace a 100-watt incandescent bulb with a 22-watt CFL and get the same amount of light. CFLs use 50- to 80-percent less energy than incandescent lights. ... Just one bulb can reduce a half-ton of CO2 from the atmosphere over the life of the bulb.
