Know About Different Bulbs And Their Functioning
 |
Incandescent bulbs, Compact Fluorescent (CFL) bulbs, Fluorescent bulbs and Halogen bulbs are some of the bulb types that are available in market. In below mentioned paragraphs, you will get brief description about all these.
Incandescent bulbs are regular or standard bulbs which are still most common. They are available in a wide range of colors, shapes and sizes. These bulbs are suitable for most uses and fixtures. However, they have low initial cost but they have higher associated energy costs over their lifetime. These bulbs create light by heating a filament inside the bulb. Since much of the energy used to heat the filament is wasted, they are less energy-efficient.
Compact fluorescent bulbs are becoming more and more famous day by day due to its energy saving capacity and long lasting nature. These bulbs come in different varieties of shapes, colors and patterns. You can choose any of them, according to your choice and need. These bulbs don’t require any special kind of socket for its functioning.
Now we will discuss that how a compact fluorescent bulb works. Inside these bulbs, a mercury gas filled tube or ballast is present. With the flow of little current from ballast to this gas, UV light is generated and when this light hits the white coating of the bulb the bulb glows to provide you light. In this process, very little heat or say electricity is required, which makes them energy efficient.
Standard fluorescent bulbs are somewhat like compact fluorescent bulbs as both of them can save electricity and are long lasting. But they also differ in many ways like fluorescent bulbs are not available in different varieties and can not be used in a normal socket. Mainly you will get these bulbs in linear, circular or U-shape.
The method through which light is produced by a fluorescent bulb is similar to the method used by compact fluorescent bulbs. One point where they differ is that in fluorescent bulbs you require separate ballast.
Halogen bulbs are also available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including standard A-line and reflector style. They produce a bright clear light. Halogen bulbs are more expensive than incandescent bulbs up front, but last about four times as long.
The method of light production in a halogen bulb is similar to incandescent bulbs but in halogen bulbs, the tungsten gets deposited back on the filament due to which life of bulb increases.
