First, Defination
1. Compact Fluorescent Lamp
Compact Fluorescent Lamp, also known as compact fluorescent lamps (CFL for short), has high light efficiency (five times that of ordinary bulbs) and are a combination of fluorescent lamps and ballast (ballast) lighting equipment. When the lamp is connected to the circuit, current flows through the thermal effect of the filament, causing the incandescent lamp to emit continuous visible and infrared light, which is detected when the filament temperature rises to 700K.
2. LED lights
LED lights, referred to as LEDS, also known as light-emitting diodes. LED is a semiconductor solid light-emitting device. It uses solid semiconductor chips As luminescent materials (such As gallium (Ga), arsenic (As), phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and other compounds). When the forward voltage is added at both ends, the carriers in the semiconductor compound to cause photon emission and produce light.
Second, The Difference Between CFLS and LEDS
1. CFLS and LEDS have different life spans
CFLS typically have a service life of 6,000-10,000 hours, while leds can have a life of more than 100,000 hours.
2. Different energy consumption
Leds are more energy efficient than CFLS. White leds, for example, use only one-tenth as much energy as incandescents and one-fourth as much as CFLS. In other words, leds are 2.5 times more energy-efficient than CFLS when it comes to white light.
3. Different loss of lamp due to starting frequency
CFLS whose filaments blacken and break quickly if they are turned on or off frequently do not break as easily as leds.
4. Different driving modes
CFLS needs ballast (ballast) drive; Led and so on need special drive circuit.
5. Costs vary
Their costs vary depending on the materials they are made of, so CFLS are relatively cheap and LEDS are more expensive.
Third, CFLS and LEDS which saves more electricity
CFLS use a filament to heat up to produce light, so most of their energy is wasted in the form of infrared radiation. Led lamp, which uses LED as the light source, is a cold light source with low power, low voltage, small current and high light efficiency, so it saves more electricity than CFLS.
So LED lamps are the smart choice for you.Foshan Nanhai Land Lighting Co., Ltd is a factory of export style which was set up in 2006, specialized in R&D, production and marketing of all kinds of LED lighting fixtures.
