The Philips 23-Watt T2 Twister CFL Light Bulb is compact in stature, enabling use in smaller fixtures and occupying minimal space in larger fixtures. A light similar to natural daylight (5000K) radiates from these long-lasting lamps, projecting vivid illumination across kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, offices, family rooms and bedrooms, among other spaces. Much more efficient than a 100-Watt incandescent equivalent, each compact fluorescent bulb puts out a robust 1500 Lumens at a cost of only $2.77 in electricity consumption per year, adding up to significant energy savings over its lifetime. The T2-shaped bulb is designed to last for 10,000 hours and is modest use of power. This bulb meets federal minimum efficiency standards.
