There are typically four types of bulbs you will find around a home. Incandescent, Halogen, CFL and LED. Incandescent light bulbs have now started to being phased out and so knowing how the others stack up is vital when going bulb shopping.
Did you know, a 100-watt incandescent bulb can be replicated by using a 20-watt LED bulb. Likewise, a 40-watt Incandescent bulb can be replicated by using a bulb that has only 8-watts. In other words, an LED bulb requires 80% less watts to give the same lighting effect.
For those of you who don't know what the acronyms stand for. CFL stands for 'Compact Fluorescent Lamp' and LED stands for 'Light-emitting Diode'.
