I replaced most of my lights (12) with energy star light bulbs.?
Answer:
If they're CFLs then yes.
"An average Canadian home has 30 light fixtures, indoors and out, that consume close to $200 of electricity every year. Replacing just five bulbs with ENERGY STAR qualified CFLs in high-use areas can save up to $30 a year, depending on location and amount of time used. That means you'll pay off the added cost of the bulbs in less than two years, and they last for at least five. Better still, you won't have to change them as often!"

Here at home we figure it out, downstairs we have 4 lights, by switching the bulbs we're using less power to power 4 of the CFLs than to have just 1 60w regular lightbulb. So we're saving 3/4 of the power we would be using otherwise, and it's the most commonly used light in the house.
So you're definitely pulling less, which means you're definitely saving money.
i dont have a reason y not. it should work. when i replaced my 200 watt bulb with a 30 watt CFL i saved substantially like nearly ten dollars so u should see savings on your bills too
yes, sure.
Your new bulb are more energy efficient, meaning that given the same input of energy, the brightness is higher than the conventional incandescent bulb.
Since energy star light bulb is more more energy saving than incandescent bulb, hence when for an equal brightness, it needs less energy.
There is 2 phrases called renewable or non-renewable. If your town electrical supply is from a renewable source (hydroelectric, wind), then go ahead to turn on lamps on daytime; If your town electricity is from burning diesel, which is putting more and more exotic carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (new carbon dioxide are introduced), then i highly recommend you to save electricity.
For instance, do you use much paper? Since our paper now is made from trees logged and ecosystem is destroyed, that's non-renewable. If later one day our paper is made from sweetgrass fibre, that's renewable, then you can use paper profusely.
If you think my speeches are right, vote me.
Yep.
It depends on how may hours per day you have the lights on and how many lights you have on at the same time. I suspect you will probably notice a small difference.
Personally, I only use CFLs in light fixtures that are on for 15 minutes or more at a time. I don't use them in hallways or closets since these lights are only on for a few minutes at a time. Turning CFLs on and off a lot cuts into their lifespan.
If they are compact fluorescent light bulbs you will see savings after a few months. If the are just lower wattage incandescents no.
I hope so, cause I'm changing mine too.
