I only know of ONE type but there are about 5 sizes
There are programmable, rapid and preheat fluorescent starters.
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.
Compact fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. (For that reason, it is important to be very careful with a broken compact fluorescent bulb, because mercury is highly toxic.) Most other kinds of light bulbs do not contain any significant amount of mercury.
uses less electricity and produces less heat
Long answer: it depends what kind of bulbs you're using, how big your plant is, how you have the light spaced, etc. 250 watts= 5, 50 watt incandescent bulbs; 6, 40 watt, 4-foot fluorescent bulbs; two 125 watt metal halide or high pressure sodium bulbs. If you can afford the HPNa or the MH, you can afford more wattage. If you're strictly limited, I would recommend 3, 4-foot, dual bulb fluorescent shoplights with alternating "daylight" and "plant/aquarium" bulbs. That should cost you about $20 per fixture, and $4-5 per bulb, for a total cost of $90 to grow an ounce of pot. Or you could buy a quarter of some good stuff and forget the effort, time, space, and risk. Short answer: One.
To answer this question the voltage of the bulbs is needed.

comparing to the traditional light bulbs energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs uses 25% to 75% energy and saves money also and it lasts up to 3 to 25 times long so there is no need to replace energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs often.
cuzz its better yoo.
Yes, many kinds of light bulbs should be recycled. Traditional fluorescent bulbs (the long tube bulbs) and compact fluorescent bulbs contain mercury and should be recycled. Many towns or cities have programs to recycle these bulbs. Or, you can return the used bulbs to the place you bought it and they will recycle it for you (for example, Home Depot has a program for recycling bulbs). Traditional incandescent bulbs do not need to be recycled.
352 There are six different types of light bulbs invented as of December 27, 2012. They include the incandescent light bulb, the halogen light bulb, the fluorescent light bulb, the high-density discharge lamps, LEDs, and sodium lamps.
Still using incandescent light bulbs? If so, you're wasting electricity and your electric bill will no doubt show it. Fluorescent lighting is far from new, but the way the bulbs are shaped, is. There was a time when you couldn't buy a fluorescent light bulb to fit many existing lamps and fixtures. Someone must have heard us complain, because now you can find fluorescent bulbs in almost any shape and size. A simple and effective way to watch your electric bill go down measurably is to simply change light bulbs from incandescent to fluorescent.
Fluorescent light bulbs can be found at many different types of stores, both specialty stores such as those that sell lighting, as well as most hardware stores; as well as many general merchandise stores. Two stores where they can be found in most all areas are Wal-Mart, and Home Depot.
