LED bulbs are generally more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). While LEDs use about 75% less energy and can last up to 25,000 hours, CFLs typically last around 10,000 hours and consume more energy. Additionally, LEDs provide instant brightness without a warm-up time and do not contain hazardous materials like Mercury, which is found in CFLs. Overall, LEDs are considered a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective lighting option.
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.
A table lamp with a fluorescent or LED bulb provides excellent energy efficient lighting. Almost any lamp can accommodate a compact fluorescent or LED bulb which makes any fixture more efficient.
A 13-15 watt compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) or a 9-11 watt LED bulb is roughly equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb in terms of light output.
No, the most energy efficient bulbs are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light bulbs.
To replace a LED fluorescent bulb, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the fixture. Allow the bulb to cool down if it was recently in use. Remove the old bulb by twisting it out of the socket. Insert the new LED fluorescent bulb into the socket and twist it securely in place. Turn the power back on and test the new bulb to ensure it is working properly.

Incandescent, LED, or compact fluorescent bulbs are commonly used for table lamps. The specific type of bulb will depend on the lamp's design and the desired level of brightness.
Replacing a fluorescent light bulb with an LED can save energy, last longer, produce better quality light, and be more environmentally friendly.
The available options for small light bulb sizes include LED, incandescent, and compact fluorescent bulbs. These bulbs come in various shapes and wattages to fit different fixtures and preferences.
Incandescent and halogen light bulbs use more energy than compact fluorescent lights and LED lights. Fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts use more energy than fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
Most compact fluorescent lamps won't work with conventional dimmers, or will damage the dimmer.Magnetic dimmers will work, however. AnswerActually, it depends on the design of the lamp. Different companies have different power supplies for the lamps. What works well on one can spell instant death for another. Get a dimmable lamp. The new LED lamps have the same problem. Some work fine with a dimmer, provided one incandescent lamp is left in the fixture. Others go crazy.
Fluorescent bulbs can't be dimmed. It takes a certain amount of electricity to get them to come on. Probably about half way on the switch. As long as it has that much it should light. The switch however doesn't like it and will burn out quicker than with regular bulbs. The bulb doesn't care, it is either lit or not. Thanks. I just went ahead and installed a standard light switch. Everything is working fine and energy efficient. ~ CheeseKing
