Conventional incandescent bulbs are extremely inefficient because they use a piece of wire heated to white heat to produce the light. That means that they also produce a lot of heat, which is wasted energy. CFL bulbs produce light more directly and they produce about one fifth of the amount of heat energy.
The energy-efficient light bulb was not invented by a single person. However, Thomas Edison's incandescent light bulb laid the foundation for modern developments in energy-efficient lighting, leading to the creation of technologies such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are more energy-efficient.
CFLs are more expensive in the short term, and some people suffer adverse physical reactions to them.
The cost of CFLs was minimised by government subsidy, but in the UK that is now removed and the cost per bulb has risen to £3-4 each.
I think it is 80% than the others
we should use CFL as they do not produce heat energy thus saving electricity. After using CFL for an hour we can remove it bare hand as per proving that CFL's do not produce large amount of heat energy. Thus saving electricity and reduces bill..!

The best energy-efficient options for a replacement g lamp bulb are LED bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). These bulbs use less energy and last longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, helping you save on electricity costs in the long run.
No, energy-saving bulbs do not have a filament like incandescent bulbs. Instead, they use alternative technology, such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) or light-emitting diodes (LEDs), to produce light in a more energy-efficient manner.
Incandescent bulbs give about 10 lumens of light per watt of electric power Halogens give about 13 lumens per watt CFLs give about 50 lumens per watt So it depends on the type of bulb.
CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps) are more efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs because they produce light by exciting mercury vapor and converting the UV light into visible light. This process requires less energy compared to incandescent bulbs, which emit light by heating a filament until it glows. Additionally, CFLs produce less heat, which reduces energy waste and makes them more environmentally friendly.
The light bulb improved over time through various advancements such as the development of more efficient filaments, the use of new materials like tungsten, and the creation of different lighting technologies like LEDs and CFLs. These improvements have led to longer lifespan, higher energy efficiency, and greater brightness in light bulbs.
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.
