Introduction

Light bulbs are an essential component of modern life, providing illumination in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Understanding the different types of light bulbs and their characteristics can help in selecting the right kind for specific applications.

Incandescent Light Bulbs

Incandescent light bulbs produce light by heating a wire filament to a temperature that emits light. These bulbs are known for their warm light output, but they are also the least energy-efficient option.

• Wattage: Typically between 15W to 150W.
• Lifespan: Approximately 750 to 2,000 hours.
• Luminous Efficacy: Around 10-17 lumens per watt.

Halogen Light Bulbs

An advancement of incandescent technology, halogen bulbs utilize a halogen gas to increase light output and efficiency.

• Wattage: Typically between 29W to 72W.
• Lifespan: Approximately 2,000 to 4,000 hours.
• Luminous Efficacy: Around 16-24 lumens per watt.

Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)

CFLs use a gas-filled tube and a magnetic or electronic ballast to produce light. They are more energy-efficient compared to incandescent bulbs.

• Wattage: Typically between 9W to 40W.
• Lifespan: Approximately 10,000 to 15,000 hours.
• Luminous Efficacy: Around 35-100 lumens per watt.

Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs)

LEDs are among the most energy-efficient and rapidly developing lighting technologies, known for their longevity and low energy consumption.

• Wattage: Typically between 2W to 20W.
• Lifespan: Approximately 15,000 to 50,000 hours.
• Luminous Efficacy: Around 80-120 lumens per watt.

Smart Light Bulbs

Smart bulbs are LED or other technology-based bulbs that can be controlled via apps, voice assistants, or remote controls. They offer features such as color change, scheduling, and energy monitoring.

• Wattage: Varies by brand and functionality.
• Lifespan: Typically similar to LEDs, around 15,000 to 25,000 hours.
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Zigbee enabled.
