One of our first posts reported on Walmart’s efforts to promote energy efficient lighting, something they consider a win-win situation. Now, as our friends at the Consumerist and the New York Times report, Walmart continues to throw its energy-efficiency into the effort.

CFLs have their problems…they take a few moments to get to full brightness…dimming technology for them is not fully developed…but they do come in a wide range of colors and sizes. The spirals have been covered by globes to hide their CFL origins.
