Best Answer

LEDs are solid-state lights that use light-emitting diodes as the source of light. They are semiconductors that glow when electricity is applied to it.

The efficancy of LED package & products depends on many factors, which range from electrical effciency to internal quantum efficiency to spectral efficiency.

The luminous efficacy of a fluorescent light bulb can exceed 100 lumens per watt, this is four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

A typical 100 watt tungsten filament incandescent lamp may convert only 5% of its power input to visible white light, while typical fluorescent lamps convert about 22% of the power input to visible white light.

How does an 25w compact fluorescent bulb provides the same amount of light as a 100w filament bulb but use less electricity?

It uses modern technology to give better efficiency. A filament bulb has an incandescent (hot) piece of tungsten wire, which produces light but also heat. A fluorescent bulb uses a different process to produce more light and less heat.

Where is there a resister in a light bulb circuit?

In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance. When current flows through it, it heats up so much that it glows - it emits light.Due to their lousy efficiency, these light bulbs should be discarded, in favor of fluorescent light bulbs or LED light bulbs.In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance.

What is the fluid in a fluorescent light bulb?

In a fluorescent light bulb there is usually a drop of mercury. That mercury vaporizes as the bulb warms up and it becomes gaseous, enhancing the electron interaction through the bulb, making it brighter.
