Light Bulb Types Explained
Incandescent Light Bulb The modern incandescent lightbulb, was commercialized in the 1920s developed from the
carbon filament lamp introduced in about 1880. As well as bulbs for normal illumination, there is a very wide range, including low voltage, low-
power types often used as components in equipment, but now largely displaced by LEDs
Halogen Lamp Halogen lamps are usually much smaller than
standard incandescents, because for successful operation a bulb temperature over 200 °C is generally necessary.
Fluorescent lamp Fluorescent lamps have much higher efficiency
than filament lamps. For the same amount of light generated, they typically use around one-quarter to one-third the power of an
incandescent.
LED lamp Indicator LEDs are known for their extremely
long life, up to 100,000 hours, but lighting LEDs are operated much less conservatively (due to high LED cost per watt), and consequently have
much shorter lives.
There are many more types of light bulbs!
