Yes, they use more electricity than the newer compact lighting.
Zirconium is not used in incandescent lamps.
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) can help reduce global warming by lowering energy consumption compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. CFLs use less electricity to produce the same amount of light, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Switching to CFLs can contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and combating global warming.
By far the new LED lamps have a longer lifetime than incandescent lamps.
There are two types of lamps the tungsten halogen lamps and incandescent lamps. Tungsten Halogen Lamps are similar to incandescent lamps and produce light in the same manner from a tungsten filament; however the bulb contains a halogen gas (bromine or iodine) which is active in controlling tungsten evaporation, whereas the incandescent lamp suppresses tungsten evaporation.
Fluorescent lamps deliver more visible light than incandescent lamps using electric power at the same rate. (But incandescent lamps deliver more heat. Just depends on what purpose you're using light bulbs for.)
The incandescent lamps are very frequently used in all the buildings !
CFL lamps are more efficient than incandescent lamps because they produce light using a different method - they convert electrical current into ultraviolet light which is then converted into visible light by a phosphor coating inside the lamp. This process is more energy-efficient compared to incandescent lamps, which produce light by heating a filament inside the bulb.
Incandescent lamps are nearly pure resistive loads with a power factor of 1

used as filling for fluorescent lamps, electric light bulbs, incandescent lamps and for vacuum tube.
Incandescent heat lamps do not contain mercury. They use a tungsten filament that is heated to produce light and heat. Mercury is typically found in fluorescent and HID lamps, not incandescent ones.
