A compact fluorescent lamp or CFL has the advantage of consuming less power.
It works in the same way as a fluorescent tube light however it is made in a much more compact shape. This means CFLs can be used to replace ordinary light bulbs which have incandescent filaments.
If you replace your ordinary light bulbs with CFLs they will use only 20% (one fifth) of the energy to give you the same amount of light output.
More information
Energy-saving lamps, such as normal and compact fluorescents, save a lot of money compared to normal lamps which have an incandescent filament because of the fact that fluorescents don't use a high-temperature filament that produces more heat energy than light energy.
Mainly because they run "cool", a fluorescent lamp uses only about one fifth - 1/5 - of the electrical energy used by a lamp that has a hot, incandescent filament.
Put another way, you can use five fluorescent lamps, each giving out the same amount of light as one incandescent, for only the same total electricity running costs.
Another good thing about fluorescent lamps is that they have a useful life that is between 5 and 10 times longer than an incandescent lamp, saving even more money over a period of years.
What else can I help you with?
Do CF light bulbs produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs?
No, compact fluorescent bulbs run much cooler that an incandescent bulb. A CF bulb can be unscrewed when the lamp is on whereas an incandescent will give you a bad burn if this is tried.
What does CFL's in lighting stand for?
The fulform of CFL bulbs is compact fluorecent light
Which bulb lasts longer an incandescent light bulb or a compact fluorescent light bulb?
A regular incandescent bulb uses a lot more energy than a compact fluorescent to produce the same amount of light. Most energy used by an incandescent bulb is wasted as heat which does not give off visible light. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper to buy, but they have shorter lifetimes than other alternatives.
Can you use compact fluorescent bulbs in garage door opener?
No, it is not recommended to use compact fluorescent bulbs in a garage door opener as they may emit interference that can disrupt the signal transmission of the opener. It is best to use LED or incandescent bulbs that are specifically designed for use in garage door openers.
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.
What are two kinds of light bulbs?
incandescent , compact fluorescent
DO incandescent light bulbs waste less energy than compact energy than compact fluorescent bulbs?
no
Why are compact fluorescent light bulbs more efficient than incandescent light bulbs?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs are more efficient than incandescent light bulbs because they produce light by converting more electrical energy into visible light and less into heat. Incandescent light bulbs waste a lot of energy as heat, while compact fluorescent bulbs produce more light with less heat generation, resulting in higher efficiency and lower energy consumption.
What are the differences between compact fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient and last longer than incandescent light bulbs. They produce less heat and use less electricity, but they may take a moment to reach full brightness. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper upfront but have a shorter lifespan and consume more energy.
Do CF light bulbs produce as much heat as incandescent bulbs?
No, compact fluorescent bulbs run much cooler that an incandescent bulb. A CF bulb can be unscrewed when the lamp is on whereas an incandescent will give you a bad burn if this is tried.

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.
Which bulb lasts longer an incandescent light bulb or a compact fluorescent light bulb?
A regular incandescent bulb uses a lot more energy than a compact fluorescent to produce the same amount of light. Most energy used by an incandescent bulb is wasted as heat which does not give off visible light. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper to buy, but they have shorter lifetimes than other alternatives.
Compact fluorescent lights are better for both our wallet and the environment but do they produce better light than the traditional incandescent bulbs?
Yes, the compact fluorescent light produce more light as compared to the same wattage of incandescent light, it is scientifically proved.
Can you use compact fluorescent bulbs in garage door opener?
No, it is not recommended to use compact fluorescent bulbs in a garage door opener as they may emit interference that can disrupt the signal transmission of the opener. It is best to use LED or incandescent bulbs that are specifically designed for use in garage door openers.
Why do many people now use fluorescent light bulbs instead of incandescent light bulbs?
cuzz its better yoo.
What are the different types of ceiling fan light bulbs available in the market?
The different types of ceiling fan light bulbs available in the market include LED, incandescent, and compact fluorescent bulbs. LED bulbs are energy-efficient and long-lasting, while incandescent bulbs are traditional but less efficient. Compact fluorescent bulbs are also energy-efficient but may take some time to reach full brightness.
