Green Movement

I received an email from Chuck
Hamrick of 1000bulbs.com informing about their mission to support green!
Here is a comparative statement in support of their Green Movement.

Parameter

Incandescent Bulb

CFL

LEDs
Energy
Standard

CFLs use around 25% the energy to produce equivalent
illumination

LEDs use only 10-20% energy to produce equivalent
illumination
Shapes, sizes and colors
Standard

CFLs come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colors.

Standard
Price
Standard

More expensive if you only compare their price to
standard incandescent bulbs

LEDs are a bit more expensive than CFLs.
Heat Generation
90-95% of ENERY is consumed in the form of HEAT

Release much less heat

Release minimum heat
Energy Savings
5-10% is consumed as LIGHT - NOT ENERGY Efficient.

75% Savings

80-90% Savings
Durability
Standard

Last many times longer than Incandescent Bulbs
long-lasting
Natural Lighting
No

Yes

Yes
Supports Green Movement

No


Yes


(Must not be thrown into regualr trash as the contain little mercury!)



Yes

Needless to say that traditional Incandescent Bulbs produce
more heat than light resulting in huge loss of ENERGY! On the other hand
while CFL/ LED bulbs cost more initially but they seem to be a great long
term investment for saving your ELECTRICITY bill.

My neighbors just switched to these bulbs. I'm not loving the flourescent light they give off though... kind of harsh.
