CFL bulb
Coiled fluorescent light
A CFL bulb is a compact fluorescent lamp—a type of energy-efficient light bulb that uses a fraction of the electricity of traditional incandescent bulbs.
The tube is folded or coiled to fit standard light fixtures.
CFLs dominated the energy-efficient lighting market before LED bulbs largely replaced them.
We switched all our CFL bulbs to LEDs.
