CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lights)

CFLs are simply miniature versions of full-sized fluorescents. They screw into standard lamp sockets, and give off light that looks just like the common incandescent bulb. CFLs are four times more energy efficient and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.

Handling and Disposal of CFLs
Carefully recycling of CFLs prevents the release of mercury into the environment and allows for the reuse of glass, metals and other materials that make up fluorescent lights. For disposal of CFLs, save burned out CFLs for Household Hazardous Waste Roundup (1-888-CLEAN LA), or CFLs to Burbank Recycle Center (818) 238-3900.

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)

LEDs are small, very efficient solid bulbs. New LED bulbs are grouped in clusters with diffuser lenses. LED technology is advancing rapidly, with many new bulb styles available. Initially more expensive than CFLs, LEDs bring more value since they last longer. Also, the price of LED bulbs are going down each year as the manufacturing technology continues to improve.
