LED Bulbs vs. CFL Bulbs vs. Incandescent Bulbs

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
