New Screw-In Type Flourescent Bulb

New Screw-In Type Flourescent Bulb FARM HOME Miscellaneous 5-3-27 "We think it marks the beginning of a new era in lower-cost lighting," says North American Phillips Lighting President Stephen Tumminello about the company's new screw-in type fluorescent light bulb. It provides energy savings up to 70% over a conventional 60 watt bulb and lasts up to ten times longer, according to the manufacturer. The new-style bulb screws into standard light bulb sockets and is similar in size and shape to regular incandescent light bulbs. North American already has 220-240 V screw-in fluorescent light bulbs on the market and plans to have similar 110-120V bulbs available this summer. Price of the 110-120V bulbs will be approximately $12. They're best suited where lighting is required for more than 10 hours daily, and in multiple-socket installations, according to the manufacturer.
