Canadian Football League's Big Break

The Canadian Football League has had a dramatic spike in their website traffic over the past couple years. Is this football league from the north growing popularity? Why are so many people Googling CFL? Unfortunately, to the Canadian’s dismay most of the increased traffic is due to a revolutionizing new bulb known as Compact Florescent Lights (CFL). There has been added awareness of CFLs by many companies such as Phillips pushing this highly efficient bulb. In addition to the manufacturing companies promoting the lights, Wal-Mart has agreed to offer low CFL prices, which is just one step Wal-Mart is taking to become more green (a whole other topic).

Sundays Energy is working with a great company that has CFLs for sale at a competitive price. Their website has a ton of information on CFL lights to ensure you purchase the correct bulb for your home. Check it out - www.e3living.com

We recently installed CFLs in our new home. I felt a bit guilty replacing a perfectly working bulb, but in retrospect that old incandescent bulb is wasting more and more energy every second it’s on. Even though the CFLs come with a bigger price tag the payback for these lights is tremendous and most consumers see their investment returned in less than a year. Many people I’ve spoken to about CFLs are concerned about the color or how they need time to warm up. The new CFLs on the market are very similar to standard incandescent bulbs and light up just the same when turned on. The difference is barely noticeable. These new bulbs need to be the standard for homes built across the world. The money saved and Carbon reduced in the atmosphere due to CFLs replacing the incandescent light will be tremendous.
