The cost of CFLs mainly depend on their life span, the cheapest having a life of 3 years, the<br />
typical cost in Romania being between 2.9 – 4.3 Euro, and the more expensive ones have a life span<br />
of 8-10 years and a price of 8.6 – 11.4 Euro. Since the electric energy consumption of these lamps is<br />
much lower and has a much smaller cost (only 20% of the cost of GSL, the cost of the initial<br />
investment may be recovered in 3 – 12 months, depending on the cost of the CFL, after which up to<br />
8.0 – 9.0 Euro per lamp per year is saved.<br />
The use rate of CFLs is from 0.8 units per household in Great Britain up to over 3 units per<br />
household in Denmark. Projects from the SAVE programme consider as a reasonable upper limit the<br />
use of up to 8 units per household. An analysis of the residential lighting, realized in 100 households<br />
in Denmark, shows a lighting consumption of between 5% and 21% of the total monthly electric<br />
energy consumption of the household and the use of 24% saving lamps – linear fluorescent lamps<br />
and compact fluorescent lamps.<br />
During November 2005 a study has been realized using feed-back reply forms concerning the<br />
usage degree of GSL and CFLs in households in Western Romania. We received 295 replies, namely<br />
220 apartments (with 1–4 rooms) and 75 houses (with 2–more than 7 rooms). The light source<br />
equipment in these households is presented in Table 3.<br />
