Walmart’s Answer to the Energy Crunch
There has been a lot of press in the last few months about how Walmart is determined to “go green”. I think it is really cool because Walmart has the influence to make it happen and rally others to do the same.

I have about 10 of these bulbs in my house for the energy savings and the fact that they last 3-4 times longer then a standard bulb. The florescent 60 watt equivalent only uses 14 watts.
That is a big difference when you multiply it by 10 at my house. Also, the florescent 60 watt seems to be brighter then a standard bulb while not being as harsh.
