What Is The Compact Florescent Lightbulb First of all before we get into the definition I want to ask you what type of lights you have at home. Stop and take a minute to think. If you have incandescent bulbs I suggest that you consider switching to CFLs. By the end of this presentation you will have no doubt about switching. The compact fluorescent lightbulb, also called CFLs, is designed and commonly replaces incandescent lightbulbs. The bulb uses a tube, which is curved or folded, to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb. CFLs are the number one bulbs to be used in schools and this presentation will show you why.

It was so much cooler. I asked the teacher why and she said because the new lightbulbs that we got do not produce heat." -Alec, age 13, Fairwind public school ¨My school is quite poor, so we can not afford much, but when I heard that we were getting new lights I realized that they must have been a great deal." -Jake, age 13, Berondale Public School Other Schools that we have sighed contracts with. Other school boards Our company provides many schools with compact fluorescent lightbulbs and these school have been pleased with our products. Here at "Fluorescent is the Present" we think that CFLs should be the only option for lightbulbs at schools. Just a few months go we signed a contract with the Peel School Board to provide them with our lights. Once all of the lights were installed we got many emails and videos from the students saying how much they loved the new lights. Also last week we just signed a contract with the Toronto District School Board and they have mentioned to us that they are enjoying our lightbulbs. From past experiences we know that schools need to be very cautious with what they spend their funds on, but once you sign with us you will leave knowing
