Compact Fluorescent Bug Light

A compact fluorescent bulb is a perfect choice for a porch light that you typically leave burning for hours at a time, because that's when you'll see the greatest amount of overall energy savings.

At just 13 watts, this fluorescent yellow bug light bulb gives just as much light (500 lumens), but uses only 13 percent of the energy as a 100 watt incandescent yellow bug light. It only uses 25 percent as much energy as a 60 watt incandescent bulb.

Even better, it is rated to last approximately 8,000 hours, so you won't have to change it for a long, long time.

This bulb is not designed to be used with photocells, dimmers or motion controlled switches. It is also not designed to be exposed directly to the weather. But it is perfect for a typical porch light situation, where you just manually turn it on and off.
