Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs are new, energy efficient lightbulbs. They The ones provided by Facilities use only 15w but provide light equivalent to 60w, although other wattages are commercially available. In general, they use 1/4 of the wattage of an incandescent bulb producing the same amount of light.
Throughout the year, [[Thursday Night Group]] works to exchange all student incandescent lightbulbs on campus to CFL's. So far, approximately 950 lightbulbs have been exchanged from [[Mission]], the [[Frosh Quad]], and [[Dodd houseHouse]]. However, these bulbs do contain mercury, so broken bulbs should be handled with care, and steps should be taken to ensure safety. Also, if broken or burnt out, they should be recycled and not placed in the general trash.
