Question Why are incandescent light bulbs hotter than CFLs?
What’s the difference between incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs? An incandescent bulb emits light through the heating of a small metallic coil called a filament surrounded by gases that heat to approximately 4000 F! While providing plenty of light, they release 90% of their energy as heat making them fairly inefficient in comparison to compact fluorescent lamp bulbs.
Compact fluorescent bulbs create invisible UV light that interacts with the coating of the bulb in order to create visible light. They are known to be more efficient and longer-lasting (and as you may have noticed, take longer to heat up).
Conclusion Incandescent light bulbs burn much hotter than compact fluorescent light bulbs do. They possess very different properties—incandescent bulbs rely upon metals, gas and heat, while CFL’s rely more upon a reaction between the internal and outside materials. For these reasons, incandescent lights emit more heat energy than CFL’s.
