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.
What gas is in the bulb?
Generally, argon or krypton.Argon , neon ,Argon is sometimes used in incandescent lights.Answer:Fluorescent bulbs contain Mercury vapor so do mercury vapor lights, sodium vapor lights contain sodium vapor once they are hot, "neon" lights contain neon and a number of other gases depending on the color desired.Argon or nitrogenIn incandescent light bulbs (the regular kind) contain an inert gas, probably Argon. Sometimes there is no gas at all and a vacuum protects the filament.In Florescent bulbs the tubes are filled with low pressure mercury vapor along with an inert gas such as argon, xenon, neon, or krypton.argon

How much mercury is in a incandesent heat lamp?
Incandescent heat lamps do not contain mercury. They use a tungsten filament that is heated to produce light and heat. Mercury is typically found in fluorescent and HID lamps, not incandescent ones.
Do moths attract to a certain light?
I know that Black lights and mercury vapor lights (including CFLs) attract more moths than incandescent lamps, but I'm not sure if black lights are better than mercury vapor lights.
Do fluo rescent lights contain mercury?
Yes, fluorescent lights contain a small amount of mercury vapor to produce light. It is important to dispose of fluorescent lights properly to prevent environmental contamination.
What should I do with incandescent light bulbs?
To dispose of incandescent light bulbs, you should wrap them in paper or plastic and place them in the trash. Do not recycle them as they contain small amounts of mercury.
Are led lights recyclable?
Yes LED lights are recyclable as it doesn't contain any mercury it is safer to recycle.
Are fluorescent lights better?
Fluorescent lights are energy-efficient and produce more light than incandescent bulbs, making them a popular choice for general lighting. However, they contain small amounts of mercury and can flicker or hum, which may be a concern for some users. LED lights are another energy-efficient option that can provide similar brightness without the mercury content or flickering issues of fluorescent lights.
What are the differences between fluorescent light and incandescent light sources?
Fluorescent lights use gas and phosphor coating to produce light, while incandescent lights use a filament that heats up to produce light. Fluorescent lights are more energy-efficient and last longer than incandescent lights, but incandescent lights have a warmer color temperature.
Is a LED light incandescent?
No, incandescent lights give off heat. LED do not.
