My fix: Put CFLs in my light so I can use it

About this fix

When I moved in to my new place in September, I saw that there were regular incandescent bulbs in one of my lights, so I never really used it because I felt guilty. I keep telling myself I will replace it so that I can use the light again without feeling terrible. I'm finally going to do that.

Change your Lightbulbs

You'd be surprised how much energy lighting takes in a typical home; it represents about 7% of the energy costs. Your 75 or 100 watt lightbulbs can inexpensively be replaced by low energy compact fluorescent bulbs that save energy and last longer. Replacing one 75 watt incandescent bulb with a comparable CFL can save an estimated $22 a year.
