What are CFL's & how do they work ?
A CFL or Compact Fluorescent lamp is basically a smaller version of a fluorescent lamp.
The CFL is made up of two main parts – a gas filled tube and an electronic ballast.
When electrical current from the electronic ballast flows through the tube, gas in the tube glows with a ultraviolet light this ultraviolet light excites a white phosphor coating on the inside of the tube which then emits a white light through the surface of the tube.

"Electricity counts for roughly one-fifth of our energy use, and is responsible for approximately a third of our carbon emissions. More than 70% of this electricity is generated using fossil fuels, and in the conversion process, around 65% of that energy is wasted." [Friends of the Earth]
