Lighting, primarily with incandescent bulbs, is the major end use of electricity in mexican homes. The introduction of compact fluorescent lamp (CFLs) could significantly reduce electricity use in lighting. We describe a survey of lighting use in homes of Guadalajara and Monterrey, México, that was conducted to provide information to determine the potential for CFLs. The result show that 1/6 of the incandescent bulbs can be replaced with CFLs if only those bulbs used more than 4 hours per day are targeted. We also provide insigts on conducing similar surveys in other developing countries..
