A recent article in the New York Times discussed problems Americans are facing with compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). The article focused on how compact fluorescent light bulbs have been registering quality problems because of the government’s emphasis on bringing down their prices at the expense of quality. Specifically, this has been as a result of some manufacturers choosing to replace better components with cheaper components. Unfortunately, this leads to an increase in bulb failures, which result in complaints from consumers.
Green Irene wanted to take this opportunity to discuss why, in spite of these realities for some CFLs, our light bulbs are high-quality and will do what they’re meant to do for our clients. First of all, Green Irene’s CFLs aren’t cheap for a reason. While they’re not too expensive, they’re also not as cheap as CFLs that you can find in typical stores. Green Irene’s light bulbs are sourced from well-recognized suppliers who ensure that the bulbs do what we normally expect them to do most of the time: provide 8,000 to 10,000 hours of lighting, dim well when needed, have low mercury levels and high luminosity, and save you money! In addition, we always strongly recommend our clients to use our eco-consultants to verify which CFLs should be installed in which fixtures to avoid matching problems.
Second, Green Irene guarantees that its CFLs will work. To fulfill that guarantee, it provides its clients a 30-day (CFLs typically fail within a few days if they will fail, so this is enough time to find out) warranty under which failed CFLs are taken back and clients are either provided with a new one or are refunded. Since Green Irene is a small business, it can handle refund requests from clients much more easily than typical stores that sell CFLs coming from distribution centers.
Finally, Green Irene has spent a significant amount of time researching suppliers to ensure that its CFLs are in fact high-quality and will not fail on clients. We’ve made sure our light bulbs meet most of the requirements typically demanded from CFLs, from having less mercury than the average CFL to having the right lighting color to meet typical needs. We also provide our clients with full instructions about how they should go about installing their CFLs and where’s the best location to place them at home or in the office. Green Irene’s CFLs are among the best in the market and ensure that you will save money while enjoying of high-quality lighting.
