25% of energy use

From USA Today:
Some consumers resist 'green' light bulbs

Under a 2007 energy law, manufacturers must start phasing out incandescent bulbs in favor of more-efficient bulbs such as compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLs.

While CFLs use at least 75% less energy, some consumers complain....

"Unless you prefer paying higher electricity bills, there's no reason to hoard old incandescent bulbs," [Natural Resources Defense Council's Noah] Horowitz says.



Nationwide, about 25% of our energy use is for lighting, so energy savings are significant.

LEDs offer some exciting potential and are being aggressively engineered and designed, so keep an eye out for new products coming on the market that continue to improve quality and efficiency.
