The objective of this document is to educate the reader regarding the benefits, performance, correct use, and limitations of screw-in compact fluorescent lamps (siCFLs).  This is often achieved by comparing the siCFL to halogen and incandescent lamps.  Pin-based CFL and linear fluorescent (FL) lamps are referenced occasionally but not thoroughly covered.  For a basic understanding of how FL, CFLs, halogen bulbs, and incandescent bulbs emit light, visit www.howstuffworks.com, and/or www.wikipedia.org.
