might wana wait till you have a house of your own, that way you dont have to work around mom and dad, or do what i did a couple years ago, get a friend who live on his own and rent space in his house

Cfls take 1/4 the power of incandescent bulbs... so 1/4 of 8 = 2 X 13w cfl = 2 X 60 w incan.
about $2.00 month.. if...

Eight 13w CFL's? That is a total of 104 watts... you could run that off a solar panel. Maybe it is costing you 5 bucks a month...about the same as your yield will be.

LOL tell your mom the bill would be even less if she replaced every light bulb in the house with cfl. Where I live its 6 cents for 1 KWhour, so thos cfl' would probably cost 2 cents per day to run, Hope yo mom dont go broke.
