CFL longevity and how to make it last longer. Compared to incandescent light bulbs, Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) rated lifespan is typically 8 to 15 times longer (6,000 to 15,000 hours). CFLs produce less light over time and it is expected that they produce 70â80% of their original light output by the end of their projected lifetime.
A high-efficiency fluorescent bulb costs about $2-$5 and lasts about 8,000 hours. A 25-watt fluorescent bulb puts out roughly the same amount of light as a 100-watt incandescent light. If you were to leave a 100-watt bulb burning for 24 hours each day, 365 days per year, it would use 216 kilowatt hours per year. high-efficiency fluorescent bulb costs about $2-$5 and lasts about 8,000 hours.
