Compare the compact fluorescent lamp and the ordinary fluorescent lamp which has fewer spare parts?
"Compact fluorescent lamps" (or, more commonly CFLs) sold direct to consumers for installation in a standard screw-in socket have an integral ballast built into the base. The ballast converts and controls the line voltage from the socket to properly drive the fluorescent lamp. Ballasts are generally fairly complex circuitry.
All fluorescent lamps require a ballast. However, most lamps used commercially ("ordinary fluorescent lamps") do not have the ballasts built into them; rather, the ballasts are hidden somewhere in the fixture.

Which light bulb type uses the least energy leading to fewer greenhouse gas emissions?
compact fluorescents are lowest in energy use for most houshold applications
What is the most economical incandescent bulb 10 watts or fluorescent lamp 10 watts and why?
the most economical is the incandescent bulb because the power of bulb is low only while the fluorescent lamp is low and additional the power of ballast from 10%-20% power consumed.but the fluorescent lamp is 5 times brightly the incandescent bulb.

they have small compact hips that makes them less susceptible to fractures
Myths and Facts About Fluorescent Lights?
Fluorescent lights are an excellent choice for home, office, and school environments because they offer many benefits. Still, some myths persist that cause consumers to question the use of fluorescent bulbs. Here are the facts about this type of lighting. Myth: Fluorescent lights flicker, causing eye strain and even headaches. Fact: It used to be true that fluorescent lights had an annoying flicker, accompanied by a slight buzzing noise. Improved technology has eliminated these drawbacks. New fluorescent bulbs use an electronic ballast that produces a steady, silent light. Myth: Fluorescents are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs, but less efficient than halogen lighting. Fact: Compact fluorescent lights are almost three times more efficient than halogen bulbs (and more than ten times as efficient as incandescent bulbs). Moreover, fluorescent lighting doesn't consume any power when it is switched off. Halogen bulbs, in contrast, utilize transformers that can continue to consume power even when the light is turned off. Myth: Fluorescents are bad for the environment because they contain mercury. Fact: Fluorescent bulbs do contain a small bit of mercury, which means that they must be discarded in a responsible manner. However, not using fluorescent lights will result in even more mercury being released into the environment. This is because other forms of lighting consume more electricity, which is generated at this time mostly through the burning of fossil fuels. This produces power plant emissions containing mercury. The best way to reduce mercury in the environment is to burn fewer fossil fuels by using fluorescent lighting wherever possible. Myth: Fluorescent light bulbs won't fit inside certain light fixtures, such as the ceiling globes used in many factory-built homes. Fact: Again, this used to be the case, but the advent of the compact fluorescent light bulb changed everything. Today's fluorescent bulbs are smaller than a standard incandescent bulb and will fit in any lighting fixture designed for incandescent bulbs. Myth: You can't use fluorescent bulbs with dimmer switches. Fact: You can use dimmer switches that have set levels such as bright, brighter, and brightest -- as long as they are wired for fluorescent bulbs. However, continuous dimmer switches are still not used with fluorescents.
Which light bulb types uses the least energy and therefore results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions?
LED bulbs use the least energy compared to incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, resulting in fewer greenhouse gas emissions. They are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan, making them a more sustainable choice for lighting.
How many fluorescent bulbs would you need to replace all the incandescent bulbs currently in use?
not all incandescent lamps (bulbs) can be replaced by fluorescent lamps because there are some applications where there is no acceptable or equivalent fluorescent lamp. In some cases, other technologies may be useful--HID or LED lamps. There are some applications where the incandescent source, especially the tungsten-halogen type, still rules.
What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 18?
The answer depends on what you are rolling: three or more ordinary dice, or fewer dice with non-standard numbers on them, or a die with some other shape.
Why are ordinary building bricks so small - wouldn't it be more efficient to make much bigger bricks?
Larger bricks would be harder to transport and provide fewer options when building something.

Only bloodtest can show that. It might have been a ordinary cold. Ppl with H1N1 usually get bopdypains, high fever and vomiting.
What does compact only parking mean and how does it affect the availability of parking spaces?
Compact only parking means that only smaller vehicles, such as cars and motorcycles, are allowed to park in designated spaces. This can affect the availability of parking spaces by limiting the number of larger vehicles that can park in those spots, potentially leading to fewer available spaces overall.
