fluorescents are about 5x as efficient
so a 12W will give about as much light
What else can I help you with?
What is the most economical incandescent bulb 10 watts or fluorescent lamp 10 watts and why?
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.
What size fluorescent bulb replaces a 60 watt incandescent bulb?
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.
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.
Can you use a 13 watt CFL bulb in place of a 60watt incandescent bulb?
no because it would blow up because the socket would draw 13 watt not 9 watt
Can one replace a tungsten bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb?
Yes, if it fits the socket and the light fitting, or lamp fixture, with its cover or shade. You will not be able to dim the compact fluorescent as you did the incandescent (unless you have a really fancy dimmer).
Will a fluorescent light bulb burn brighter than an incandescent one?
Fluorescent light bulbs are typically more energy-efficient and produce more light for the same amount of power compared to incandescent bulbs. So, a fluorescent light bulb may appear brighter than an incandescent bulb with the same power rating.
Which bulb last longer an incandescent light bulb or Compact fluorescent lights?
compact floresent
How much wattage is in a CFL?
So to replace a traditional 60-watt bulb, buy a 15-watt CFL: 60-watt incandescent / 4 = 15 watts. Note: Some brands of 60-watt equivalent CFLs still do not seem to give off as much light as a 60watt incandescent 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.
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.
What are the differences between an incandescent bulb and a fluorescent bulb in terms of energy efficiency and lifespan?
An incandescent bulb is less energy efficient than a fluorescent bulb because it produces more heat than light, wasting energy. Fluorescent bulbs are more energy efficient as they produce less heat and more light. Additionally, fluorescent bulbs have a longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs, lasting up to 10 times longer.
What is the most economical incandescent bulb 10 watts or fluorescent lamp 10 watts and why?
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.
What is a word that means a light bulb that uses more energy than a fluorescent light bulb?
incandescent

What advantages do fluorescent tubes have over incandescent bulbs?
Fluorescent tubes last longer and supply more light per watt of energy consumed than an incandescent bulb.
Which is more efficient the fluorescent bulbs or the incandecent bulbs?
Fluorescent bulb is the more efficient one as compared to incandescent bulbs.
