Compact Fluorescent 40 Watt Globe 3 Pack

Compact Fluorescent 40 Watt Globe Bulb 3 Pack

General Electric Energy Smart^TM 40 Compact Fluorescent G25 Replacement Bulb 3 Pack

This package of 3 11 watt Compact Fluorescent Lights is Energy Star^TM qualified and will save $87.00 in electricity (at 10 cents per KWH electricity cost) over their lifetime. Their energy requirement of 11 watts is about 1/4 of the need of standard 40 watt globe lamps.  With these lamps the CFL spiral tubes are encased in an outer globe to produce the look of the standard G25 Globe bulb.

Change Bulbs Less Often
Besides using 1/4 of the electricity as G25 Globe Bulbs, these CFLs last an average of 10,000 hours of use; that's about 6 years of light for average residential customers using the light 4 hours per day, seven days a week. For commercial customers, this means less labor costs associated with relamping burned out lights. For commercial uses, the 10,000 hour rating @ 10 hours a day equates to about 3 years (10,000 hour life / 10 hours a day = 1,000 days). A business using these bulbs 8 hours a day 5 days a week could expect about 5 years of use out of these bulbs. These bulbs are great for hard to reach places.

Change frequently used lights
To get the most energy savings, replace those bulbs you use most often with Compact Fluorescent lights.  These lights are suitable for bathroom vanities, where the full set of 3 CFL lights will use less energy then each of the 3 standard globes they replace (33 watts for all 3 CFLs vs 40 watts for each standard lamp); that vanity will now use just 33 watts of electricity instead of the 120 watts it used using standard G25 Globe bulbs.

Reduce energy use and air pollution
By using these CFL bulbs in place of incandescent lights, you will reduce air pollution, greenhouse gases and the energy needs of your electricity generator. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, if every US household replaced 5 of their most frequently used light bulbs with Compact Fluorescent lights, we each would save over $60.00 a year in electricity costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the emissions of 8 million cars. Each Energy Star Qualified Compact Fluorescent light prevent more than 450 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime.

These lamps will reliably start to -5 F. They are NOT dimmable. They should not be used on dimmer switches, in emergency and exit lighting.
