Fluorescent is more efficient. Incandescent bulbs should not be used any more, except for some special purposes (mainly where they keep something warm).

How efficient is a fluorescent bulb that emits the same amount of light as a 100w incandescent bulb?
It is about 5 times more efficient than the incandescent bulb, in other words for the same light a fluorescent uses one fifth the electric power.
How efficient is a light bulb?
An incandescent bulb is 96% efficient as a heater, and 4% efficient as a source of light. A fluorescent bulb is only 60% efficient as a heater, and 40% efficient as a source of light. An LED bulb is only 10-20% efficient as a heater, and 80-90% efficient as a source of light (but that light is usually unidirectionally directed... harder to do diffuse lighting with them).
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.
What is the green efficient squiggly light bulb called?
Florescent light-bulbs CFL Compact Fluorescent Lamp
How efficient is a compact fluorescent bulb?
about 5 times as efficient.
Which among the following is most energy efficient incandescent build fluorescent tube compact fluorescent light bulb halogen bulb?
Incandescent produces about 10 lumens of light per watt of electricity Halogen produces about 13 lumens per watt Fluorescent and CFL produce about 50 lumens per watt So Fluorescent is the most efficient.
Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?
No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.
Which is more efficient the fluorescent bulbs or the incandecent bulbs?
Fluorescent bulb is the more efficient one as compared to incandescent bulbs.
Who invented fluorescent light bulb?
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
What type of light is a 20 watt energy saving bulb Halogen Incandescent neon or fluorescent?
A 20 watt incandesent bulb is dim. For a medium sized room you need 100 watts. A 20 watt halogen bulb is brighter but still quite dim. These are marketed as low-energy but they are not. For a medium sized room you need 80 watts. A 20 watt fluorescent bulb can light a medium sized room quite brightly. This is a genuine low energy bulb.
What is the spectrum of fluorescent light?
light bulb
Which of the areas of technology best classifies the light bulb?
The incandescant light is more of a heat bulb than a light bulb, being 200% less efficient (on average) in producing the same amount of light (measured in lumens) than a fluorescent bulb. That being said, the light bulb would be considered part of a luminaire.
