Fluorescent light more energy efficient than incandescent light?
Yes.
Why do stores offices and schools use fluorescent lights instead of incandescent?
Incandescent lights are expensive to run (they give off a lot of heat was well as light), incandescent lights are much more efficient. However modern LED light bulbs are better (more efficient) than both incandescent and fluorescent lights so in the future you will see a change to the use of these.
Which light bulb uses more energy?
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
What kind of waves do heat lamps give off?
A little more heat and a little less light than a regular incandescent light bulb.
What kind of EM wave do heat lamps give off?
A little more heat and a little less light than a regular incandescent light bulb.
Between fluorescent and incandescent which saves electricity?
Fluorescent lamps deliver more visible light than incandescent lamps using electric power at the same rate. (But incandescent lamps deliver more heat. Just depends on what purpose you're using light bulbs for.)
Are led flashlights effective?
LED flashlights are effective. They use powerful white-light-emitting diodes, and are more efficient than incandescent lamps, in terms of battery usage.
Which kind of lamps have a larger lifetime LED lamps or incandescent light bulbs?
By far the new LED lamps have a longer lifetime than incandescent lamps.
Fluorescent light more energy efficient than incandescent light?
Yes.
Do incandescent lamps contribute to global warming?
Yes, they use more electricity than the newer compact lighting.
How come when you touch a light it burns you?
Any device that produces light also produces heat. Some more than others. An incandescent lamp is actually more efficient at producing heat than producing light. There are available different types of lamp which produce less heat such as LCD lamps.

Why use fluorescent lighting?
Fluorescent lighting is cooler and far more energy-efficient than incandescent lighting.
Which light bulb uses more energy?
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
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 do fluorescent light bulbs help the environment?
Fluorescent lights help the environment by conserving energy and being more efficient.Traditional bulbs produce about 15 lumens per watt, while fluorescent bulbs produce between 50 to 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescents bulbs five or six times more efficient than traditional bulbs.Also, the concepts behind the two bulbs are different. Traditional, or incandescent bulbs create heat in order to create light, which wastes a lot of energy. Fluorescent bulbs use a gas containing argon and mercury vapor that creates ultraviolet photons.This helps the environment by not wasting resources.Alternative AnswerFluorescent lamps might lower your electricity bill, but they use more energy and resources to manufacture, compared with incandescent lamps. They also contain mercury and other toxins. So fluorescent lamps probably do more damage to the environment than incandescent lamps. So, if you want to save on your energy bills, use fluorescent lamps; if you want to protect the environment, then use incandescent lamps.
What kind of waves do heat lamps give off?
A little more heat and a little less light than a regular incandescent light bulb.
