    Comparison Chart Led Lights vs. Incandescent Light Bulbs vs. Cfls

    Uploaded by

    Mayank Singh
    The document compares LED lights, incandescent light bulbs, and CFLs across several metrics: - LED lights last 50,000 hours on average, much longer than incandescent bulbs (1,200 hours) and CFLs (8,000 hours). They also use the least energy. - CFLs contain toxic mercury while LED lights and incandescent bulbs do not. CFLs also emit more carbon dioxide. - LED lights are very durable, turn on instantly, and have no sensitivity to temperature or humidity. Incandescent bulbs are not durable and CFLs have limitations at low/high temperatures.
