Dimmable compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are a good option if you want to save money on electricity. CFLs use a fraction of the electricity of standard incandescent bulbs, leading to lower energy bills.
Everyone is interested in saving money these days, so it is only natural to want to invest in energy saver light bulbs. If you’re new to purchasing this type of light, or have been disappointed in the past, you should know there are several types of energy saver light bulbs to choose from depending on your needs.
Will dimmable compact fluorescent light bulbs save you money? Yes and no. A conventional 100-watt incandescent bulb dimmed to half capacity and burned four hours a day at an average electrical cost of .12 cents per kwh will cost $8.76 a year to operate plus $1.50 for the bulb. An equivalent 23-watt dimmable CFL working under the same circumstance costs only $2 to burn for a year, but $14.53 for the bulb itself.
