The compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) was developed in the late 1970s, with significant advancements made by various manufacturers in the early 1980s. The first commercially available CFLs were introduced in the early 1980s, offering an energy-efficient alternative to traditional incandescent bulbs. These bulbs became more popular in the 1990s as awareness of energy conservation grew.

What energy transformations occur in a compact fluorescent light bulb?

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.

How do you know a light bulb transforms 100 percent of its electricity into light?

You don't. A light bulb transforms only a fraction of its energy into light, and most of it into heat. For an incandescent bulb about 3% is transformed into light, while for a compact fluorescent (low-energy light) about 15% is transformed into light.
