Central New England Solar Store Tip Of The Week

Tip of the Week

3 items regarding CFs (compact flourescent) bulbs to pass along to consumers:

1) Their life span is reduced when they cycle on/off often, killing the ballast. Fridge light bad, night time light (i.e. living room, bedroom) good.

2) Buy a 5-pack of CF bulbs and wait until a conventional bulb dies. Replacing a functional Edison bulb for without reason is not very treehuggerish.

3) CFs contain mercury vapor and cannot be thrown away. They must be brought to a transer station for proper disposal.
