Are bulbs energy efficient?

bulbs are generally considered inefficient compared to other modern forms of lighting. This includes fluorescent lights and their smaller counterpart, CFL (compact fluorescent lamp), considered a substitute as a bulb. In some areas such as the European Union, Australia and Switzerland, bulbs are eliminated to save energy. The bulbs acquire energy by obtaining energy from the electrical source and then by concentrating energy in a fiber enclosed in a glass case. The reason why the bulbs do not consider themselves energy efficient is that most of the energy they consume goes to heat than light, which waste energy.

For the purpose of comparison, it produces a 13W CFLSTEJT LIGHT as 60 W bulbs. On average, CFL use 75 percent less energy and produces 75 percent less heat than bulbs. It also lasts up to 10 times long. For this reason, CFL reduces long -term lighting costs, although they are initially more expensive than bulbs.

When upgrading from an ineffective bulb to an energy -efficient CFL, bulbs should be replaced one by one when they burn them rather than simply remove them before they are used. This is a measure of cost savings. It avoids unnecessary throwing bulbs while they are still useful.

CFL is not the only energy -efficient alternative to the bulb. Another option is LED (Light emitting diode) bulb. LED bulbs lasts up to 10 times longer than CFL bulbs and do not contain harmful chemicals such as Mercury, like CFL. But making bulbs were much more expensive than CFL onions.
