    LED Bulbs
    • “LED” is the abbreviation of
    “light-emitting diode”. It is a
    semiconductor light source
    which could emit light when
    a current moves through it.

    • An LED bulb is a lighting bulb


    that uses an LED chip to
    convert electronic energy
    into light.

    CFL Bulbs
    • CFL (compact fluorescent
    lamp) is a fluorescent
    lamp, using a tube curved
    or folded to fit into the
    base of the bulb which
    has a compact electronic
    ballast in it.

    Incandescent Bulbs
    • An incandescent bulb is an
    electric light that emits light
    with a filament wire heated
    to a high temperature until
    it glows by consuming
    electrical energy.
    • The incandescent bulb must
    be the earliest electric bulb
    in human history; however,
    energy experts claim that
    the incandescent bulb
    should be replaced by other
    more energy efficient bulbs
    and become a thing of the
    past.
