the most economical is the incandescent bulb because the power of bulb is low only while the fluorescent lamp is low and additional the power of ballast from 10%-20% power consumed.but the fluorescent lamp is 5 times brightly the incandescent bulb.

Can you use 40 watt in a fluorescent light in place of a 32?
Yes, the wattage is just the power consumption. A 30 watt Fluorescent will give more or less the same light as a incandescent bulb or 60 watts, which is the limit for your fixture for incandescent bulbs.
What is more efficient a 120V 13W fluorescent bulb or a 12V 50W halogen bulb?
Fluorescents are always 3-4 times more efficient than halogens which are a version of incandescent bulb.
How is a light bulb better for growing plants then a fluorescent?
The light spectrum from an incandescent (a bulb) is closer to the spectrum of the sun than what comes from a fluorescent.
Is a 35 lumens bulb as bright as a 60 watts bulb?
Lumens measures how bright it is, watts measures how much electric power it uses up. An old-type incandescent bulb produces about 10 lumens per watt. A halogen produce about 13 lumens per watt. A fluorescent (energy saving) bulb produces about 50 lumens per watt. LEDs produce somewhere around the same as a fluorescent.
What size fluorescent bulb replaces a 60 watt incandescent bulb?
You would need a 12 Watt flourescent bulb
Why does an incandescent bulb of similar energy 60 watts versus 15 watts make water evaporate more quickly than a compact fluorescent lightbulb?
An incandescent bulb gives off more heat than a fluorescent bulb.

Which bulb last longer an incandescent light bulb or Compact fluorescent lights?
compact floresent
How much does a light bulb change the temperature of a room?
Very little, but it is noticeable, with a bright light in a small room. A light bulb puts out between 9 watts (energy-saving fluorescent light bulb) to approximately 100 watts (bright incandescent light bulb). Your average bar-heater, for comparison, puts out about between 1200-2400 watts.
How efficient is a fluorescent bulb that emits the same amount of light as a 100w incandescent bulb?
It is about 5 times more efficient than the incandescent bulb, in other words for the same light a fluorescent uses one fifth the electric power.
How bright is 950 lumens?
220 lumens is equal to a tungsten incandescent light bulb of 15 watts. Halogen lamp 20 watts. Fluorescent lamp 60 watts. LED lamp 60 watts. high pressure sodium vapour lamp 117 watts. Mercury vapour lamp 50 watts or 17.32 candle power
What wattage in halogen bulb is equal to 300 watts in incandescent bulb?
Halogens are about 30% more efficient so 300 watts incandescent is equivalent to about 210 watts halogen. It's also equivalent in brightness to about 60 watts CFL.
What is a word that means a light bulb that uses more energy than a fluorescent light bulb?
incandescent
