BALTIMORE (WJZ)– This Energy Saver focuses on making the switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs).

Mary Bubala has more.

CFLs use 75 percent less energy. They last about 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb and these energy-saving light bulbs will pay for themselves in about six months.
