- A house has following information on bulb fixtures (Table I).The owner of the house wanted to replace all the bulbs fixtureswith CFL type. The efficiency information of a typical CFL is givenin the Table II and the required CFL light output (in lumens) foreach of the replaced bulbs is given in Table I. Â
                        TableI: Bulb fixtures information
Given Data | Required |
Watts | Number of bulbs | Type of bulb | CFL light output (lumens) |
40 | 4 | Bare bulb | 540 |
60 | 6 | Bare bulb | 1020 |
75 | 2 | Bare bulb | 1200 |
100 | 3 | Bare bulb | 1920 |
50 | 3 | Reflector type bulb | 561 |
60 | 2 | Reflector type bulb | 840 |
75 | 4 | Reflector type bulb | 920 |
The bare bulbs and reflector typebulbs are being used for 8 hours and 6 hours respectively everyday.   Â
                      TableII: Efficiency recommendation information

- $326
- $510
- $894
- $900
2. Using the information given in Question 1, what is thedifference in the annual energy consumption if all of the givenbulb fixtures are replaced by typical CFL?
