Some advantages are that CFL light bulbs last longer, so in the long run they are cheaper. They also use less energy. They are very versatile since they come in different shapes they can fit into almost any fixture.
CFL or Compact Florescent Lights are a lot more energy efficient. They emit a lot more light and a lot less heat and last a lot longer. a 23 watt cfl is equal to a 100 watt incandescent in light output.
If you pay 10 cents per kwh for electricity then a 100 watt bulb left on all the time will cost about $88 per year, multiply that by all the lights you leave on whereas a cfl of the same brightness would cost about 1/4 of that or around $22 per year

What is the name of those swirly light bulbs?
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
Why does a plasma ball make fluorescent light bulbs light up?
Anything that excites the gas in a fluorescent will make it light. Static electricity from the carpet will cause compact fluorescent to light.
Information on CFL light bulbs?
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.
What are the scwiggley light bulbs called?
Assuming you're talking about the ones with coiled tubes, they're called "compact fluorescent".
What advantages do fluorescent tubes have over incandescent bulbs?
Fluorescent tubes last longer and supply more light per watt of energy consumed than an incandescent bulb.
What is the name of those swirly light bulbs?
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
Are CFL bulbs autovolt?
No, compact fluorescent light bulbs generally are not autovolt.
What does CFL's in lighting stand for?
The fulform of CFL bulbs is compact fluorecent light
What is being done about pollution?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs.
What are two kinds of light bulbs?
incandescent , compact fluorescent
DO incandescent light bulbs waste less energy than compact energy than compact fluorescent bulbs?
no
Why are compact fluorescent light bulbs more efficient than incandescent light bulbs?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs are more efficient than incandescent light bulbs because they produce light by converting more electrical energy into visible light and less into heat. Incandescent light bulbs waste a lot of energy as heat, while compact fluorescent bulbs produce more light with less heat generation, resulting in higher efficiency and lower energy consumption.
How do compact fluorescent lights differ from fluorescent light globes?
Compact fluorescent lights are smaller versions of traditional fluorescent light bulbs that are designed to fit into standard light fixtures. They are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent light globes typically refer to the larger, tube-shaped fluorescent bulbs that are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings.
Is mercury used for the filament in light bulbs?
No, not in the filament. You are probably thinking of compact fluorescent light bulbs, which do contain mercury.
Why does a plasma ball make fluorescent light bulbs light up?
Anything that excites the gas in a fluorescent will make it light. Static electricity from the carpet will cause compact fluorescent to light.
Is compact fluorescent light the best energy saving bulb?
No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.
Are compact fluorescent light bulbs safe to use in terms of radiation exposure?
Yes, compact fluorescent light bulbs are safe to use in terms of radiation exposure. They do not emit harmful levels of radiation that pose a risk to human health.
