Are LED bulbs more efficient than CFL?
Besides, are LEDs more efficient than CFLs?
Efficiency—While incandescent bulbs and CFLs generate most of their energy in heat, LEDs are cool to the touch—which translates into less wasted energy. LEDs are more efficient than even CFLs: A 16.5-watt LED bulb is equivalent to a 20-watt CFL and a 75-watt incandescent.
Also to know is, which is more harmful LED or CFL?
LED bulbs are way better than CFLs simply because they are durable, energy efficient, environment-friendly and emit less heat. They do not contain harmful substances like mercury and are more cost-effective. They also use less power per unit of light generated.
A new study from University of Michigan researchers recommends replacing all incandescent and halogen light bulbs in your home now with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) or LEDs. LEDs are long-lasting light bulbs that use less energy than incandescent, halogen or fluorescent bulbs to provide the same light output.
