Light Bulb: Globe Electric 13-Watt Ultra-mini Compact Fluorescent
September 9th, 2007
A reasonable friend of mine, Helen, suggests Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL), specifically the Globe 13-Watt Ultra-mini:
[It has] a nice warm colour, small bulb, 60W equivalent, fits in a standard socket. The ultra mini is a smaller bulb, smaller than an incandescent. The mini is actually larger, and doesn’t fit in all fixtures. Some people complain about a high failure rate [for CFLs in general], but I haven’t noticed.
CFLs waste very little energy as heat, and should last a lot longer than incandescent bulbs (switching them off and on frequently makes them wear out faster). More sustainable is always more reasonable.
Remember to recycle your used lightbulbs, especially CFLs.
