EFI oers a wide selection of compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). CFLs are
designed to produce a high-quality, incandescent-like warm light and use
about 70% less electricity than conventional incandescent lights.
Most good quality CFLs are rated to last between 8,000 and 12,000 hours.
This usually translates to a 2–4 year lifetime depending on usage. (One year
is 8,760 hours.)
Not all dimming switches are compatible with dimming CFLs. There are
times when flickering and/or buzzing may occur with certain switch and
lamp combinations. If you are looking for CFLs for a dimming application,
we suggest that you buy a small quantity of dimming CFLs and try them in
your application before re-lamping a large area.
Unless specied, CFLs are not rated for use in outdoor xtures. If used
outdoors they should be in an enclosed xture protected from the elements.
Enclosed post lights and porch ceiling xtures are good places to install CFLs.
