Compact fluorescent bulbs burn, on average, ten times longer than incandescent bulbs. Those CFLs with an Energy Star rating use 75% less energy, saving roughly $30 over their operating life. The packaging provides a comparison in wattage to a traditional bulb, but CFLs take several minutes to warm up and produce a colder light than the warm, yellowish cast of incandescent bulbs. Early users objected to the quality of CFL illumination, leading manufacturers to develop second-generation products that more closely reproduce traditional lighting tones.
