Better for what?

Once upon a time it was true that florescents were more efficient than incandescents,

and that incandescants had a more "natural look than florescants ...

BUT these days - you pay your money and you take your pick.

Definitely fluorescent. Incandescent lights are extremely inefficient and spend most of their energy producing heat rather than light. This is why an incandescent lightbulb gets so much hotter than a fluorescent one.


Which light bulb is better incandescent or fluorescent?

Fluorescent bulbs are generally better than incandescent bulbs in terms of energy efficiency and lifespan. Fluorescent bulbs use about 75% less energy and last up to ten times longer than incandescent bulbs. Although incandescent bulbs offer warm light and are less expensive upfront, their higher energy consumption and shorter lifespan make them less economical over time. Therefore, for cost-effectiveness and energy savings, fluorescent bulbs are the superior choice.

What are the differences between fluorescent and incandescent lighting?

Fluorescent lighting uses gas and phosphor coating to produce light, while incandescent lighting uses a filament that heats up to produce light. Fluorescent lights are more energy-efficient and last longer than incandescent lights, but incandescent lights have a warmer color temperature.


Do incandescent and fluorescent bulbs produce the same amount of heat?

No, incandescent bulbs produce more heat than fluorescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs generate light by heating a filament, which also emits heat. Fluorescent bulbs produce less heat because they use electricity to excite gas inside the bulb, which then emits light.
