What is the difference from an LED light to a normal incandescnt or fluorescent bulb?

The main difference is how light is produced in each. In a LED, a device known as a light-emitting diode produces light when receiving a certain level of current. In an incandescent bulb, a thin piece of conductive metal glows brightly (incandesces) when subjected to a current in an oxygen free environment, such as a vacuum or near-vacuum (the absence of oxygen keeps the metal from burning and decomposing). Finally, a fluorescent bulb works by subjecting a special mixture of gases to an electric current. The current excites molecules of gas, which release light in the process.

What is it that normal light bulbs give off much more than fluorescent light bulbs?
Heat.
What is the difference between CFL and fluorescent?
There is no difference. CFL is an abbreviation for Compact Fluorescent Light which has simply been designed to take up less space than the standard tubes.
What is the difference between fluorescent bulbs and regular light bulbs?
Fluorescent bulbs generate light by using an ionized gas and electrical discharge, whereas regular light bulbs generate light by using heat within the filament contained in the bulb.
What is the difference between led light and a normal light bulb?
a normal light bulb gives off more light
Does ordinary light bulbs provide fluorescent light?
no
How is fluorescent different from natural light?
Well.. the difference is that fluorescent light isn't natural and natural light isn't fluorescent . its not rocket science (:
What is the difference between the normal light globe and a fluorescent tube?
"Normal" light globes use a glowing filament, heated by the current. Flourescent tubes ignite a gas within a tube, using an arc.
What is it that normal light bulbs give off much more than fluorescent light bulbs?
Heat.

Does fluorescent light affect health especially blue?
Yes.Blue light that is given off disproportionately by video monitors and fluorescent light can disrupt the normal sleep/ wake cycles and make it hard to sleep at night.
How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work?
A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.

Why does a plasma ball make fluorescent light bulbs light up?
Anything that excites the gas in a fluorescent will make it light. Static electricity from the carpet will cause compact fluorescent to light.

Are fluorescent lights normal lights?
In some situations, yes. They are the strip lights which light up most public buildings and our kitchen.
