Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)

To complete installation you will need:
• A parent/guardian
• Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL) – located in your Energy Savings Kit

  1. First you must choose an incandescent light bulb you will remove and replace with your new CFL. Look around your home and determine which light is used the most. This is the bulb you should replace.
  2. Ask your parent/guardian to help you by removing the old incandescent light bulb. WARNING: Bulb may be hot.
  3. Ask your parent/guardian to dispose of the bulb properly. WARNING: Light bulbs are made of thin glass and can cut you if they break.
  4. Carefully remove your new CFL from the package.
  5. Ask your parent/guardian to install your new CFL and turn it on!
