What is the difference between a energy-saving lamp and a fluorescent lamp?
The energy-saving lamps that are bought in the market. All have the variation of fluorescent lamp. Curved into garden type Do you find that if you go into a room? 100W light bulb. It's hotter. The light is general, it's a little red. Just like a room. 40W fluorescent lamp, there is no heat sensation, the light is brighter than 100W bulb. That's the reason. The energy-saving lamp doesn't feel like a fluorescent lamp. There are no 40W energy-saving lamps. There used to be 8W fluorescent bulbs and now 9W energy-saving lamps.
Daylight tubes convert electricity to light energy by about 75%. Heat energy 20%. Energy consumption 5%. (ballast) (1.5% of new ballast). Energy-saving lamp and fluorescent lamp principle is the same. The difference is the electronic ballast less volume, inside, electric fluorescent starter is inside, and you didn't pay attention to. And it is not the same as the gas inside. Its electric energy into light energy about 80% and fluorescent lamp's not much difference.
The so-called energy-saving lamp is mainly used to see the same amount of electricity. With the same power, the older bulb is more efficient than the daylight With the same power, the bulb turns electric energy into light energy about 30 percent. And heat energy is 70 percent
