Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductors in a transparent epoxy casing. LEDs emit light through electroluminescence — that is, electrical current energizes electrons in the semiconductor material until the electrons emit a photon. Most of the electricity entering an LED is used to make light. It takes just 1.6 volts of DC current to light a single LED.

Compact fluorescent lights are better for both our wallet and the environment but do they produce better light than the traditional incandescent bulbs?

Yes, the compact fluorescent light produce more light as compared to the same wattage of incandescent light, it is scientifically proved.


LED lights are being used everywhere from down lights to head lamps of automobiles Are they provide adequate light as compared to traditional incandescent bulbs?

Yes, they provide as much light as the incandescent bulbs, thought some may vary according to their own type. But there's no other way that incandescent bulb can be compared to LEDs, because LEDs are way better than the old traditional bulbs.


Why do many people now use fluorescent light bulbs instead of incandescent light bulbs?

Why does incandescent light not glow on material?

Incandescent light bulbs do not emit much Ultraviolet light. Strip lights and compact fluorescent low energy light bulbs do. The whiteners added to white fabrics react to UV light and glow due to fluorescence.


What type of light bulbs are the dome lights?

Dome lights typically use incandescent or LED light bulbs. Incandescent bulbs produce light through a wire filament heated by an electric current, while LED bulbs use light-emitting diodes to emit light more efficiently. LED bulbs are becoming more common due to their energy efficiency and longer lifespans.


What type of lights do you use that waste a lot of energy?

The type of light bulbs that waste the most energy are incandescent bulbs. They are least efficient because around 90% of the energy is lost on heat. They are also the shortest-lived light bulbs. The most efficient lights are LED lights, followed by CFLs, followed by the new Halogen incandescent bulbs. See the related link below for more information.

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.
