What does "PAR" mean when associated with light bulbs? Is it the CFL watt equivalent of an incandescant bulb? Thanx, Bob Cushman
Incandescent: 10-12 lumens per watt CFL: 50 lumens per watt.
The electric light bulb was invented in 1879.
The incandescent electric light bulb was invented by Thomas A. Edison.
Electric Light Bulb
The CFL (compact Fluorescent Lamp) was invented in 1976 by Ed Hammer, who was a General Electric engineer. In 2002 Hammer was awarded the Edison Medal by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers for his invention. [A CFL is a energy saving light bulb]
Over all, CFL light bulbs are good for the environment and they can save $. 1 CFL light bulb has 10 times the life span of a regular light bulb. 1 CFL light bulb could save enough energy to take a car from NY to San Francisco. 1 CFL light bulb uses between 50% and 80% less energy than a regular light bulb.
When you compare a CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) bulb to an LED bulb, the CFL bulb has a shorter lifespan. The CFL bulb also uses more electricity for the same brightness Also a CFL lasts longer and uses less electricity (for the same brightness) than an incandescent bulb.
They are called CFL light bulbs. CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Light .
The CFL was invented in 1976 by Edward Hammer, an engineer with General Electric. It was created to respond to 1973 oil crisis.

Thomas Edison invents the light bulb.
This is a bit less light than a 40W incandescent bulb (much less than a 9-watt CFL bulb, but twice as much as a 5-watt CFL mini-bulb).

December 24,1877 he invented the light bulb.
If you meant to say WHEN was the light bulb invented, it was invented October 22, 1879.
The flourescent light bulb was invented in 1827.
