Other Important Information
How Much Energy/Electricity Will I Save With a 14W CFL Bug Light?
The estimated savings is the product of the estimated number of kilowatt hours saved times the cost per kilowatt hour. Kilowatt hours saved are determined by taking the difference between the traditional incandescent bulb wattage and the watts used by the equivalent CFL, times the estimated number of hours of use, divided by 1,000. The average cost per kWh varies widely across the country from 7¢ in Missouri to almost 26¢ in Hawaii according to the Department of Energy (DoE). The average cost nationwide is about 11¢.
Savings for this bulb are calculated using a more conservative 10¢ per kWh:
(60W-14W) * 10,000 / 1,000 * $0.10 = $46
You can substitute your actual cost per kWh ($0.10 in the calculation above) from your electric bill or the DoE. In addition, you can add in the cost of all of the incandescent bulbs you would buy over the life of this 10,000 hour CFL. This will increase your lifetime savings by $5-10.
Who Manufactures These Bulbs?
Westinghouse Lighting, a name you know and trust.
How much light does this bulb produce in watts and lumens?
The 14W CFL Bug Light shines 500 lumens of light, equivalent to a traditional 60W bulb.
Is this product EnergyStar qualified?
No, this product has not been rated by EnergyStar.
Is this bulb dimmable?
No, this bulb is not designed for use with dimmer switches. Using the bulb on a dimmer may shorten the bulb's useful life.
Can this bulb be used with a timer?
The bulb can be used with a timer. But because many timers pass a small amount of electricity to bulbs even when off, a timer may shorten the bulb's useful life.
How can I recycle the bulb when it finally burns out?
It's easy! As you probably know, all CFLs should be recycled properly. Home Depot and Ikea stores accept unbroken bulbs for recycling. Otherwise you can find information on recycling at
Can I recycle the packaging?
No. Unfortunately the “clamshell” packaging cannot be recycled under most residential recycling programs.
