"The CFL spiral design is a symbol of "going green," the movement to make homes and living more energy-efficient. And sales of compact fluorescent lights, or CFLs, are booming: They made up 20 percent of the U.S. light bulb market in 2007, the Environmental Protection Agency says, up from 11 percent a year earlier.
Sales probably will continue rising as traditional incandescent bulbs begin disappearing from stores because of Congress' mandate that light bulbs be at least 25 percent more efficient by 2012. Wal-Mart, Home Depot, IKEA and other major retailers now sell a range of CFLs, which typically use nearly 75 percent less energy than regular bulbs..."
That is actually an excerpt from an article with constructive criticism towards CFL's. If you are not out shopping today and would like a good read please go to the following link to read the whole article.
Our survey deadline was yesterday but the survey link is still active for stragglers who would like to participate in our research.
Happy Black Friday All! Unless you work in retail and you probably have to get up in 3-4 hours to get to work...
