A compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) typically uses between 9 to 15 watts, depending on its brightness and design. This is significantly lower than traditional incandescent bulbs, which usually consume about 60 watts for a similar light output. CFLs are energy-efficient alternatives, providing the same amount of light while using less electricity.

Which bulb last longer an incandescent light bulb or Compact fluorescent lights?
compact floresent
What is the swirly light bulb called?
The swirly light bulb is called a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). It is a type of energy-efficient light bulb that produces light by using electricity to excite the gas inside the bulb to create illumination.
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.
Does a compact fluorescent lamp use 60 watts the same as a standard lamp?
40 watts is 40 watts, that is what you are paying for. However, an incandescent bulb uses the 40 watts to make light and heat. The compact bulbs make more light and less heat for the same wattage. To actually save, choose a lower wattage that will give acceptable light levels.
What does CFL's in lighting stand for?
The fulform of CFL bulbs is compact fluorecent light
What energy transformations occur in a compact fluorescent light bulb?
In a compact fluorescent light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into light energy through the excitation of mercury vapor atoms inside the bulb. Some electrical energy is also transformed into heat energy due to resistance in the bulb's circuitry and the phosphor coating on the bulb.
How does a compact fluorescent light bulb work?
A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.
How many mercury atoms are in one fluorescent light bulb?
in a compact flourescent about 8mg.
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).
How much electricity does the average Compact fluorescent light bulb use?
The average compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) uses about 9 to 15 watts of electricity, depending on its brightness and design. This is significantly less than traditional incandescent bulbs, which typically consume around 60 watts for comparable light output. CFLs are designed to be more energy-efficient, providing the same amount of light while using less power, which can lead to lower electricity bills and reduced environmental impact.
Will a condensed fluorescent bulb work as a grow light for garden?
Only if you buy a "full spectrum" of "grow light" type of compact bulb.
What watage light bulb do you use?
The typical household light bulb is the incandescent, they come in a variety of watts. Most used is the 40 watts, 60 watts, and 100 watts. Incandenscent are inexpensive and are the most common bulb for traidtional homes. Although fluorescent light bulbs are common in kitchens. Halogen light bulbs are more effeicient than incandecent they are better suited for offices, kitchens and lmaps. CFL (Compact Fluroescent Light) Bulb last longer than traditional incandescent. The LED (light emitting diodes) are becoming popular.
