Some advantages are that CFL light bulbs last longer, so in the long run they are cheaper. They also use less energy. They are very versatile since they come in different shapes they can fit into almost any fixture.
CFL or Compact Florescent Lights are a lot more energy efficient. They emit a lot more light and a lot less heat and last a lot longer. a 23 watt cfl is equal to a 100 watt incandescent in light output.
If you pay 10 cents per kwh for electricity then a 100 watt bulb left on all the time will cost about $88 per year, multiply that by all the lights you leave on whereas a cfl of the same brightness would cost about 1/4 of that or around $22 per year

∙ 10y agoOne of the biggest benefits of using Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs is the amount of energy it saves, which saves money on the energy bill. It is also good for the environment since the CFL bulbs pull less energy from the grid and it takes coal to run the grid. Less coal used means fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
