I'm like -- put up to a hundred or you could use, you know, a compact fluorescent in there too. It's using gases to eliminate the glass. You're only using roughly 20 percent or 21 percent of the wattage on a compact fluorescent than you are in a 60-watt soft white incandescent bulb. My house converted to all compact fluorescents. I have seen, you know, energy savings. It lowers your air-conditioning bill because you're emitting less heat. A LED bulb where you get two and a half to three times longer life than you do with CFL. Bulb like this is in the $50 range. That's the Cadillac. This should last 46 years. That's longer than I'm going to be around; $1.81 to operate this light bulb; 65 watts is going to cost you five to six times more. So we're trying to reduce the consumption in the entire country and it's going to benefit us you know in the long run.</s>COSTELLO: You can get more energy saving tips.
