A compact fluorescent light (CFL) is a fluorescent light that is manufactured in the approximate size and shape of a standard incandescent lamp. It's got an electronic ballast (unlike the standard fluorescent lamp tube which uses a heavy wire wound ballast), and it screws into a socket and performs on the standard line voltage like that aforementioned incandescent lamp. The light emitting diode (LED) is a solid state device that converts electricity into light without heating a filament like the incandescent lamp, or ionizing a gas like the fluorescent light does.
What else can I help you with?
How can people conserve electricity?
Turning off lights, switching to CFLs or LEDs, using the breeze to cool your house in the summer, etc.
How does a LED bulb compare to a compact fluorescent one?
LED bulbs are generally more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). While LEDs use about 75% less energy and can last up to 25,000 hours, CFLs typically last around 10,000 hours and consume more energy. Additionally, LEDs provide instant brightness without a warm-up time and do not contain hazardous materials like mercury, which is found in CFLs. Overall, LEDs are considered a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective lighting option.
What size of led lamp will be equivalent to 150 Watt halogen lamp?
LEDs and CFLs use about a quarter of a halogen so the answer is 35-40 watts.
What is the best available alternatives for CFLs?
LED light bulbs are considered the best alternative to CFLs due to their energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and ability to produce a similar quality of light. They are also more environmentally friendly as they do not contain mercury like CFLs do. Halogen incandescent bulbs are another alternative, but they are less energy-efficient than LEDs.
What can covert electrial energy to light energy?
Ordinary light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, CFLs, flashlight bulbs, LEDs, toaster elements, and laser diodes all do that.
What are 3 things that visible light can be emitted by?
stars, flashlights, toasters, CFLs, LEDs, fireflies
Is it true that now we can use LED lamps for lighting outdoors in residential industrial and commercial purpose What are benefits of using LEDs in such kind of lighting?
Of course LEDs are used in every area of lighting purposes. Be it for domestic, industrial or commercial purposes, LEDs are used everywhere since they are the most effective source of energy conservation purposes compared to other energy saving lamps like CFLs, LEDs, halogens etc. They are not affected by multiple switching, long lasting, saves a lot amount of energy, no dangerous materials etc.
Does energy saving bulb have fillament?
No, energy-saving bulbs do not have a filament like incandescent bulbs. Instead, they use alternative technology, such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs), to produce light in a more energy-efficient manner.
The government should make a law that requires all compact fluorescent light bulb for the common good?
No. CFLs contain Mercury, which is harmful to the environment. Instead, all incandescent bulbs should be replaced with LEDs or newer technology that has no adverse effect on our environment.

How much is it for lighting?
Lighting is not one of the major electrical costs in a house, especially if CFL (compact fluorescent lamps) or LED bulbs are used. If lighting costs are an issue, get rid of incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs. CFLs are cheaper and nearly as efficient as LEDs.
What is an example of common technology that does not efficiently convert energy?
Incandescent light bulbs are inefficient at converting energy into light. They are so inefficient that in many places there is no a ban on the sale or manufacture of incandescent light bulbs in favor of higher efficiency CFLs, LEDs, or halogen lights.
