There are many CFLs and compact fluorescent fixtures on the market, but only ENERGY STAR® qualified products guarantee quality and performance. ENERGY STAR® qualified bulbs and fixtures provide more lumens per watt, a variety of warm and cool tones to choose from, and a long dependable life. ENERGY STAR® qualified bulbs and fixtures can also help you save money on your energy bills, saving up to 75% versus incandescent lights.

ENERGY STAR® was introduced by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1992 as a voluntary labeling program designed to identify and promote energy-efficient products, in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. EPA partnered with the US Department of Energy in 1996 to promote the ENERGY STAR® label, with each agency taking responsibility for particular product categories. ENERGY STAR® has expanded to cover new homes, most of the buildings sector, residential heating and cooling equipment, major appliances, office equipment, lighting, consumer electronics, and more product areas.
