Today’s Hindu newspaper has a huge government advertisement on CFL Technology and requests people to “Switch on to Save”.
This advertisement echoes all our thoughts and suggestions and we thought of elaborating on the details in case you miss the same on the paper.
 
The image above (please click to enlarge) conveys many details:
CFL Advantages:
- Four times more efficient
- Lasts upto 10 times longer than incandescents
- Uses 50-80% less energy than incandescents
- Uses 1/3 the electricity and lasts up to 10 times as long as incandescents
- Single 18 watt CFL in place of a 75 watt incandescent saves about 570KWH over its lifetime
- Replacing single incandescent bulb with CFLs keep out half-tonne of CO2 out of the atmosphere
- Saving electricity reduces CO2 emissions, sulfur oxide and high level nuclear waste
- New CFLs give a warm inviting light instead of the “cool white”light of older fluorescent
- They use rare earth phosphors for excellent color and warmth
- New electronic ballasted CFLs do not flicker or hum
- CFL can be applied nearly anywhere where incandescents are used
The advertisement says
“Judicious use of electricity is our responsibility”
“Save energy for benefit of self and nation”
