You don’t need to break the bank on your electrical bill each month in order to enjoy soft, bright lights. Toss that short-life, high-energy incandescent bulb and replace it with the 16-Watt Flood CFL, a compact fluorescent bulb that fits in any standard indoor or outdoor bulb base and emits 750 Lumens – higher than the 620 Lumens emitted by a comparable 65-watt incandescent bulb. You’ll conserve energy with every use without sacrificing the soft glow associated with incandescent lamps, and this long-life bulb will last up to 8000 hours, more than five times that of standard, 1500-hour incandescent bulbs.

• 16-watt compact fluorescent emits more light than 65-watt incandescent bulb
• One bulb pays for itself in lower electric bills in about five months
• CFL bulb will last up to 8000 hours – more than 5x the life of the standard incandescent bulb
• Price: $9.99
