What kind of light bulb gives off the most heat?
Incandescent bulbs produce the most heat for a given amount of light; fluorescent lights produce much less heat, and LED produces the least.
What is the difference between incandescent bulbs and fluorescent bulbs Why change?
Fluorescent bulbs use less energy to produce a similar amount of light as incandescent bulbs. So they save money on power when used. But they cost more to make, and how the power consumed to make them compares I do not know. And they contain a significant amount of mercury, making them difficult to dispose of properly. There is much debate over which is better.
Do CF light bulbs produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs?
No, compact fluorescent bulbs run much cooler that an incandescent bulb. A CF bulb can be unscrewed when the lamp is on whereas an incandescent will give you a bad burn if this is tried.
Do higher wattage bulbs give a brighter light?
No. All light from light bulbs (incandescent) are equally bright. Higher wattage bulbs simply produce a higher quantity of light measured in lumens.
Which bulb lasts longer an incandescent light bulb or a compact fluorescent light bulb?
A regular incandescent bulb uses a lot more energy than a compact fluorescent to produce the same amount of light. Most energy used by an incandescent bulb is wasted as heat which does not give off visible light. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper to buy, but they have shorter lifetimes than other alternatives.
Which save more energy incandescent light bulbs or fluorescent?
Fluorescent light bulbs use less electricity for the amount of light produced.

Which is more efficient the fluorescent bulbs or the incandecent bulbs?
Fluorescent bulb is the more efficient one as compared to incandescent bulbs.
What are the manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs?
The costs of manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are about the same aside from the slight different materials.
How many 75 watt fluorescent bulbs are needed to give as much light as a 75 watt incandescent bulb?
A 15-watt fluorescent should produce about as much light as a 75-watt incandescent.
Do fluorescent lights produce heat?
Yes. They're cool compared to incandescent bulbs of the same light output, but they do produce some heat.
Compact fluorescent lights are better for both our wallet and the environment but do they produce better light than the traditional incandescent bulbs?
Yes, the compact fluorescent light produce more light as compared to the same wattage of incandescent light, it is scientifically proved.
What are two kinds of light bulbs?
incandescent , compact fluorescent
Why are compact fluorescent light bulbs bad?
Older CFBs contained mercury. However, today's bulbs contain little, if any, mercury. Buying today's bulbs is a good choice, as they produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb, but yet uses a fraction of the energy.
Do higher wattage bulbs give a brighter light?
No. All light from light bulbs (incandescent) are equally bright. Higher wattage bulbs simply produce a higher quantity of light measured in lumens.
