The brightest compact fluorescent bulb is of over 100 lumens or higher outputs at higher drive currents.
An Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent light bulb can save you around $30 over it's lifetime, paying for its self in about 6 months.
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.

They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
AnswerThey shouldn't; that kind of thing is checked and regulated by the FCC. However, a CFL has a high frequency switching power supply in it, so it is possible. My garage door opener would not open or close until the the compact fluorescent light bulb timed out. There is a warning on the CFB that says that it can interfere with electronic circuits and it does.
The average lifespan of a compact fluorescent bulb is typically around 8,000 to 10,000 hours.

Yes, if it fits the socket and the light fitting, or lamp fixture, with its cover or shade. You will not be able to dim the compact fluorescent as you did the incandescent (unless you have a really fancy dimmer).
about 5 times as efficient.
Compact fluorescent bulb contain mercury.You're supposed to take them to your local hazardous waste facility.
As of 4-12-14 there is a 23 Watt screw in bulb supposedly equal to 100 Watt. It is likely there are higher watt bulbs in the flourescent screw in type available today.
Compact fluorescent bulbs may flicker due to issues with the ballast, which regulates the flow of electricity to the bulb. When the ballast is faulty or incompatible with the bulb, it can cause flickering.
The swirly light bulb is called a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). It is a type of energy-efficient light bulb that produces light by using electricity to excite the gas inside the bulb to create illumination.
The fulform of CFL bulbs is compact fluorecent light
in a compact flourescent about 8mg.
In a compact fluorescent light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into light energy through the excitation of mercury vapor atoms inside the bulb. Some electrical energy is also transformed into heat energy due to resistance in the bulb's circuitry and the phosphor coating on the bulb.
