Join fellow New Yorkers and Americans all across the country! Take the challenge and switch out your most used standard light bulbs to ENERGY STAR® compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).

If you replace the 5 most used light bulbs in your home with ENERGY STAR® bulbs, you can save up to $60 a year.

Save Money

ENERGY STAR® light bulbs and fixtures save money because they operate more efficiently, thus reducing your electricity bill.

Save Time

Compact fluorescent bulbs need to be changed, on average, once every seven years, depending on individual usage. This means less time changing light bulbs, a convenience especially in hard to reach areas.

Help Protect the Environment

Products that earn the ENERGY STAR use less energy; that means less energy is generated by power plants, decreasing the amount of fossil fuels burned, which results in less air pollution.

Additional Features

ENERGY STAR® lighting products generate about 70% less heat than standard incandescent lighting, which means they are cool to the touch and help reduce household cooling costs.

Replacement light bulbs can easily be found at home improvement centers, hardware stores, lighting showrooms, and other major retail stores, including on-line stores.
