Comparing Light Bulbs with Differences in Wattage
Incandescent 100 Watt Lumens: 1,500 Bulb Life: 750 hours Light Output: Larger Heat Output: Larger | Incandescent 25 Watt Lumens: 210 Bulb Life: 2,500 Light Output: Smaller Heat Output: Smaller |
Reflection: I think that it is interesting to look at the statistics of different light bulbs because they all use different amounts of electricity and last longer etc. Like with the experiment we did today, it was interesting to see the different things on the bulbs. We all said wow, or weird, and everyone was amazed at them. The 25 watter will last so much longer than the 100 watter but the 100 gives off more light then the 25. But there was always a large margin of the difference. I personally was amazed at the differences. The incandescent 25 watt bulb lasts 2,500 hours
Comparing Different Types of Light Bulbs with Similar Wattage
Incandescent 25 Watt Lumens: 210 Bulb Life: 2,500 hours Light Output: Smaller Heat Output: Larger | CFL 24 Watt Lumens: 1,600 Bulb Life: 6,000 Light Output: Larger Heat Output: Smaller |
Reflection: Okay, we all know that the CFL light bulb is better but I can draw to conclusions now. The CFL bulb is so much brighter and lasts so much longer than any other bulb. My whole class thought that it was really cool when we compared them. It was cool. But I was really surprised how high the bulb life was on the CFL bulb. 6,000! I was really shocked.
Comparing Different Light Bulbs with Different Lumens
Incandescent 100 Watt Lumens: 1,500 Bulb Life: 750 hours Light Output: Smaller Heat Output: Larger | CFL 24 Watt Lumens: 1,600 Bulb Life: 6,000 Light Output: Larger Heat Output: Smaller |
Reflection: It was cool to compare the two different bulbs and the differences were big. I was amazed about the difference of the bulb life. The CFL owned! But I'd say that this is a pretty good topic for comparing and contrasting. But this is just my reflection and thoughts so it's not really all fact.
