| Must-Know Info | Great for spaces where lights are turned on and off frequently. But halogens just meet new standards, using only 28% less energy. You won't see a dramatic savings here, but they should last longer. |
Great for spaces where lights are left on for 20 minutes or longer at a time. But CFLs take a little while to warm up to full brightness. Frequent on-and-off switching can shorten life. Be careful if this lamp breaks, it contains mercury and should be handled with care. |
Great for spaces where lights are hard to reach and usually kept on. LEDs also emit less heat and are harder to break. But LEDs cost more up front and should not be used in enclosed fixtures. |
