Incandescent Bulbs: The Blink-and-It's-Gone Classic
Ah, the classic incandescent bulb—a true legend of the lighting world. Known for its warm glow and undeniable charm, it brightens our lives but doesn't stick around for long. On average, these bulbs last around 1,000 hours before gracefully retiring.
Halogen Bulbs: A Shining Encore
Enter the halogen bulbs, the updated version of the classic incandescent. These bulbs last slightly longer, providing around 1,500 to 3,000 hours of brilliance. While they may shine a bit brighter, they still bid farewell relatively soon.
CFL Bulbs: A Steady Glow
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), the energy-efficient darlings of the lighting world, boast a longer lifespan. These eco-friendly bulbs can light up our lives for approximately 8,000 to 10,000 hours—a significant upgrade in longevity.
LED Bulbs: The Everlasting Stars
Cue the applause for Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs—the true superstars of the lighting universe. With exceptional energy efficiency and an astonishing lifespan, these bulbs can illuminate our world for an impressive 25,000 to 50,000 hours or more. A standing ovation is in order!
