FAQ

What is a CFL?

CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamp. A compact fluorescent lamp (or bulb) is a smaller, household-friendly version of the large fluorescent bulbs that have been providing energy-efficient lighting for offices, factories, stores and schools for over 60 years.

CFLs offer a much softer, better quality of light than their intense, commercial-oriented counterparts. And because the technology is constantly improving, modern CFLs are capable of providing much warmer tones than you might expect.

You'll find GU24 and screw-in compact fluorescent bulbs in several wattages and shapes on our website.
