How much electricity in Indian homes can be saved using CFL?

Around 50-75% of energy can be saved if one uses CFL. As a matter of fact, in India, 20% of total energy consumed is for lighting purpose. i.e If the energy consumed per month is 500 units, you can roughly tell, 100 units has been consukmed for lighting purpose. Now if CFL and TFL is used, the 100 units consumed otherwise can be reduced to 50 units or even less. therefore, the effective electricity bill would be of 450 units instead of 500 units.


Can you use a 100 watt CFL in a fixture that says the bulb should not exceed 25 incandescent watts?

No, it is not recommended to use a 100 watt CFL in a fixture that specifies a maximum of 25 incandescent watts. CFL bulbs have different wattage equivalencies compared to incandescent bulbs, so you should use a CFL bulb that is equivalent to or lower than the specified incandescent wattage for the fixture. Using a higher wattage CFL bulb can cause overheating and potentially pose a fire hazard.


How much does it cost to run a 75 watt CFL bulb?

the rule is.... run 100 watts 24/7 for 100.00/year. Your cfl will cost apx.75/year. However, while your cfl only uses 75 watts it is equivalent to apx 350 watts and produces a broad variety of colors in the spectrum making it great for growing!


Why are CFL's more efficient than conventional electric bulbs?

we should use CFL as they do not produce heat energy thus saving electricity. After using CFL for an hour we can remove it bare hand as per proving that CFL's do not produce large amount of heat energy. Thus saving electricity and reduces bill..!


We have traveled a long journey along with the bulbs from incandescent bulbs to CFL and LED light bulbs Is it safe to go further in search of How to save electricity?

As you said all of us had a long experience with Incendescent lamp and CFLs, but know as the consumption of electricity has increased as compare to earlier times, so its our duty to save electricity. By using CFL & LED lights we can save a lot of electricity as compare to incandescent lamp. Because these light actually consumes less energy then incandescent or conventional lamps.

How does light from cfl bulb compare?

When you compare a CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) bulb to an LED bulb, the CFL bulb has a shorter lifespan. The CFL bulb also uses more electricity for the same brightness Also a CFL lasts longer and uses less electricity (for the same brightness) than an incandescent bulb.
