Comparing Light Bulbs with differences in Wattage
Incandescent 100 watt Lumens: 1500 Bulb Life: 750 hrs Light Out put:Larger Heat Output: Larger | Incandescent 25 watt Lumens : 210 Bulb Life: 2500 Hrs Light Out put: Smaller Heat Output: Smaller |
I learned that the 25 watt lasts 1750 hrs longer then the 100 watt. 100 watt turns half of its energy to heat and half to light.The 25 watt also turns half of its energy to heat and half to light, but uses less energy.
Comparing Different Types Of light With similar Wattage
Incandescent 25 Watt Lumens : 210 Bulb Life: 2500 Hrs Light Out put: Smaller Heat Output: larger | CFL 24 Watt Lumens : 1690 Bulb Life: 6000 Light Out put: larger Heat Output: smaller |
I learned that CFL lasts a lot longer then incandescent because most energy turns to heat in the incandescent but most to light in the CFL, that's why it is a better bulb.
Comparing Different Light Bulbs with Different Lumens
Incandescent 100 watt Lumens: 1500 Bulb Life: 750 hours Light Output: Larger Heat Output: Larger | CFL 24 watt Lumens: 210 Bulb Life: 2500 hours Light Output: Larger Heat Output: Smaller |
I learned that the CFL Bulb is better because it makes the same amount of light with less energy and dosn't produce as much heat there for it is better.
