In the modern ear of the energy crisis, two types of light bulbs are mainly used in the home. The choice is between CFL, the compact fluorescent lamp, or LED, the light-emitting diode. Both are energy efficient, but for a large spread of light over a wider area, FCLs are more suitable. Although the physical size of each item is almost many times the size of the LED, it is more practical in certain places.
To choose your applications, we first need to see how much lighting we want and we also require economy. CFLs are typically used for foyers, dining rooms, porches, bedrooms, and even living rooms. In order to have a larger light area coverage, the larger one which is HCL should be adopted. LED at this time cannot be used for total illumination, as its technology has not reached the place where its most far-reaching global illumination could be considered. The economy is there, in LED and CFL, but the use is different, since the basic limitations are the space and the financial budget to sustain the change.
Second, anywhere strong light is not required, but durability is required, solid light is required, long-term reliable association is required, and economy plus space limitations, LEDs are most suitable.
Physically the difference between the two is clear. CFLs are much larger in size compared to a single LED bulb.
In high places or with high ceilings, compact fluorescent lamps are more appropriate. One of the reasons is the greater angle of coverage, and secondly, daily contact, materials and human error are avoided. The CFL can break if it is subjected to a sudden increase in voltage or physical pressures. On the contrary, LEDs are not only small, but can withstand jerks and shakes to a certain capacity.
There is no doubt that both produce light, both sources are energy saving and efficient, but mainly due to the limitations of light intensity, coverage and design, each has its own requirements in certain specific areas. The CFL structure has a hollow tube with a small amount of gas and mercury coated inside the glass tube. But the thickness of the glass is less than the thickness of the LED lens and the glass canopy. This makes it very complicated and can be easily broken. On the other hand, the LED is quite robust and can withstand rough handling without being damaged. But they have a shorter shelf life!
