Compact fluorescent bulbs can help you to save energy in your home. A common question when it comes to compact fluorescent light bulbs, or CFLs, is which bulb should you use to get the same light output as your current incandescent light bulbs?
One way to compare light bulbs (and probably the best way) is to compare the lumens emitted by each light bulb. You will typically find the lumens output on the package of the light bulb. In many jurisdictions, the lumens are required by law to be printed on the packaging. All you have to do is find the lumens on your current light bulb and buy a CFL with comparable lumens to achieve the same light output.
