Overview
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also known as a compact fluorescent light or energy saving light (or less commonly as a compact fluorescent tube), is a type of fluorescent lamp. Many CFLs are designed to replace an incandescent lamp and can fit into most existing light fixtures formerly used for incandescents.[1]
Modern CFLs typically last at least six times as long and use at most a quarter of the power of an equivalent incandescent bulb.[2]
