Do incandescent and fluorescent bulbs produce the same amount of heat?

No, incandescent bulbs produce more heat than fluorescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs generate light by heating a filament, which also emits heat. Fluorescent bulbs produce less heat because they use electricity to excite gas inside the bulb, which then emits light.


How many fluorescent bulbs would you need to replace all the incandescent bulbs currently in use?

not all incandescent lamps (bulbs) can be replaced by fluorescent lamps because there are some applications where there is no acceptable or equivalent fluorescent lamp. In some cases, other technologies may be useful--HID or LED lamps. There are some applications where the incandescent source, especially the tungsten-halogen type, still rules.

Do incandescent light bulbs have more mercury in them than fluorescent?

I would say no. My reasoning is that if incandescent bulbs have as much or more mercury than fluorescent bulbs, the fluorescent industry would be debunking all the reports of a mercury problem.Incandescent lights do not need or use mercury to operate, so there is none in them.Fluorescent lights cannot be made at all without mercury, as it is the glow of mercury ions that produces the UV light inside the fluorescent bulb to excite the phosphor coating to make visible light.
