Incandescent floor lamps emit a lower ray of light, therefore you won't get as bright a light shine. A flourescnet light is much brighter. It really depends on where you will put the lamp.

Information on CFL light bulbs?

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.


What is the most economical incandescent bulb 10 watts or fluorescent lamp 10 watts and why?

What are CFL and LED lights?

A compact fluorescent light (CFL) is a fluorescent light that is manufactured in the approximate size and shape of a standard incandescent lamp. It's got an electronic ballast (unlike the standard fluorescent lamp tube which uses a heavy wire wound ballast), and it screws into a socket and performs on the standard line voltage like that aforementioned incandescent lamp. The light emitting diode (LED) is a solid state device that converts electricity into light without heating a filament like the incandescent lamp, or ionizing a gas like the fluorescent light does.

Why flourecent lamp are better source of light than incandescent lamp?

Fluorescent lamps are more energy-efficient than incandescent lamps because they produce light by exciting mercury vapor with electricity, resulting in less heat loss. They also have a longer lifespan and produce more light output for the amount of energy consumed compared to incandescent lamps. Additionally, fluorescent lamps come in various color temperatures, allowing for more customizable lighting options.
