Do incandescent light bulbs have more mercury in them than fluorescent?
I would say no. My reasoning is that if incandescent bulbs have as much or more mercury than fluorescent bulbs, the fluorescent industry would be debunking all the reports of a mercury problem.Incandescent lights do not need or use mercury to operate, so there is none in them.Fluorescent lights cannot be made at all without mercury, as it is the glow of mercury ions that produces the UV light inside the fluorescent bulb to excite the phosphor coating to make visible light.
What are the different types of ceiling light fixtures?
Most fluorescent lights are linear in shape, but some are u shaped, and others (the compact fluorescents) are bent into various other shapes. Fluorescent lights come in a variety of lengths, a variety of voltage, a variety of light colors (all are more or less white, but the white can be tinged with varying degrees of other colors), a variety of tube diameter, differing quantities of mercury, a variety of brightness, a variety of socket types (some have one pin on each end, some have two, and the compact fluorescents are designed to screw into a socet the same way an incandescent bulb does). All these differences come in various combinations, so that there are literally thousands of different types of fluorescent lights.
