Incandescent light bulbs are not energy efficient compared to new substitute halogen bulbs, compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), and light emitting diodes (LEDs), but incandescent bulbs should not be obsoleted due to their inefficiency . Abolishing incandescent bulbs does not reduce the mercury content in the environment significantly; furthermore, incandescent light bulbs are now stopped in the US due to discontinuation, and many lighting manufacturers are out of work.
LED has many advantages for consumers than incandescent bulbs or fluorescent lamps. LED light consumes much less energy. They are 300% more efficient than Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) and 1000% more efficient than incandescent bulbs. They have a very long service life and are used for approximately 50,000 hours at 70% of the original power. (The LED does not burn out and flickers, it just disappears.) This consumes 70% for 13 years maximum of 8 hours. A typical 60 watt incandescent lamp lasts about 1,000 hours
Please replace the fluorescent and incandescent bulbs with the LED light fixtures. LED lamps are 50% more efficient than fluorescent lamps and are known to be 90% more efficient than incandescent bulbs (Design Recycle Inc.). In the United States, the lighting industry currently accounts for 11% of residential energy consumption and 41% of the total domestic energy use (National Academy of Sciences, 2008). Just by replacing the lightbulb equivalent of LED with each light bulb in the American house, the country's energy consumption is reduced by about 4%. Then, considering that the US uses 20% of the world's energy (National Academy of Sciences, 2008), installing only these bulbs reduces worldwide usage by 0.8%. Developed country
For over a century, we read and used the light of the incandescent lamp of Edison. Other light sources such as fluorescent lamps and LEDs have become widespread in recent years due to their efficiency. Incandescent light bulb wastes most energy by emitting most energy in the form of heat rather than light. However, fluorescent lamps and LEDs release most of energy as visible light at low temperature. These light sources replaced incandescent light bulbs to perform many functions. Almost all of Edison 's discovery was technically rather than rigorous, but his invention included an alkaline battery, a microphone, a mimeograph (copier) and an animator for watching videos. He also used his animation and narration mechanism to make the first "sound movie" sound movie. In addition to continuing to improve incandescent light bulbs, he continues to improve other inventions such as gramophone.
