Ferndale-based Lighting Supply Co. is offering free compact
fluorescent light bulbs to nonprofits through a program called Bright Earth. CF light bulbs are not only energy efficient but also look to save you a pretty penny in light bulb costs in the long run.
Excerpt:
Lighting Supply is offering an overstock of
70,000 General Electric 22-watt CF light bulbs, which replace standard
75-watt incandescents and last 10 times longer. They also cost
dramatically less to operate -- $22 per 10,000 hours versus $75 for
10,000 hours -- or $53 in savings over the life of the bulb.
Globally speaking, the 70,000 CFLs will save $3.7 million in energy
costs and reduce the amount of coal burned by nearly 18,000 tons and
the amount of carbon dioxide released in the atmosphere by 38,213 tons.
