What is a helical bulb?

CFL BULBS. CFLs, or compact fluorescent light bulbs, are the tubular- and helical-shaped bulbs that use about 75 percent less energy than a traditional incandescent bulb. Their lifespan is about nine years with normal usage and they can save you up to 75 percent on energy bills.

Which is better CFL or LED?

The LED bulbs last longer and therefore will save you time and money in the long run. CFL’s use 25-35% less energy than traditional light bulbs, or incandescent bulbs, use. LED’s, on the other hand, use 75% less of the energy than incandescent bulbs use. This means that LED bulbs are incredibly energy efficient.

What is the difference between CFL and fluorescent?

CFL is an acronym that stands for compact fluorescent light. Standard fluorescent lights are available in tubes (generally 48 to 84 inches in length). CFLs are much smaller. Fluorescent bulbs produce light by converting ultraviolet emissions with a fluorescent coating on the inside of the tube.

What are the benefits of using CFL light bulbs?

Because CFLs use less electricity than traditional light bulbs, they reduce demand for electricity; that reduction means less greenhouse gas emissions (including less mercury) from power plants. CFLs contain a very small amount of mercury — an average of 4 milligrams in each bulb.

Is LED bulb better than CFL?

Efficiency—While incandescent bulbs and CFLs generate most of their energy in heat, LEDs are cool to the touch—which translates into less wasted energy. LEDs are more efficient than even CFLs: A 16.5-watt LED bulb is equivalent to a 20-watt CFL and a 75-watt incandescent.

How do you dispose of helical light bulbs?

Safely dispose compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs for free at a household hazardous waste drop-off location:

1. Designated fire hall.
2. City landfill Throw ‘n’ Go area – if you bring with other garbage, landfill charges will apply.

What is a 13W CFL equivalent to?

60-watt incandescent
For instance, a 13-watt CFL is equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent.

Can I use LED instead of CFL?

You can easily choose LED replacements for existing CFL bulbs and fixtures by knowing the correct pin-type, and buying easily available plug-and-play options with the same pin-type but are LEDs instead of CFLs. LED bulbs consume less electricity and also provide better quality light.
