Default CFLs use more energy than indicated

CFLs use between one fifth and one third of the power of equivalent
incandescent lamps, for approximately 9% of household electricity..

WTF are you talking about, Connor? Your subject line is nonsense, and
your post is a non-sequitur at best, devoid of all meaning and context.
Do you actually have anything to say, or did you just put 1/2 pint of
vodka on your Wheaties this morning?

I understood him, although I believe cfls use 25% what incandesants
use, not 20%, but maybe there are newer more efficent units out, as
well its about time better ones are made.
