There is one other form of light bulb that is better than florescent light bulbs. It is called LED lighting. LED light bulbs have been becoming popular in flashlights and automotive lighting. LED lighting can save half of what florescent light bulbs cost to run.
There is also no warm up time with LED light bulbs. They are as bright as they will be right away. Another plus about them is that they don’t contain any mercury like florescent lighting. There life expectancy is more than 30,000 hours. This is 6 times longer than florescent bulbs. LED are a lot more durable than florescent bulbs which make them more applicable in areas that exhibit a lot of shock and vibration. Turning LED lights on and off doesn’t hinder the life expectancy of the bulb. LED do not produce any UV (Ultra Violet) rays.
Down fall of LED lighting is that they are only good for spot lighting. They only offer 120 degree of lighting compared to 360 or florescent bulbs. Other down fall it the cost. For a 13 watt bulb which is equivalent to a 100 watt standard bulb it’s about 50 dollars.
