Compact fluorescent lamp

A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also known as a compact fluorescent light bulb, is a type of fluorescent lamp which screws into a regular light bulb socket, or plugs into a small lighting fixture. In contrast to incandescent light bulbs, they have a longer life and use less electricity. In fact, their savings in electricity expenditures are many times their higher initial cost.
