These light bulbs also require a lot more watts and electricity.
Comparison between incandescent cfl and led bulbs.
While the math for the cfl bulbs is simple the led bulbs are even more energy efficient and durable than compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Leds require less wattage than cfl for the same amount of light.
For example a correct replacement for a 60w incandescent bulb would be a 15 watt cfl bulb 60 1 4 15.
If you were to light an incandescent bulb for 25 000 hours it would cost 169 compared to the 30 cost to light an led.

The higher the carbon emission the greater the harm your lighting product is doing to the environment.
The cfl bulb is known to reduce replacement costs and is an energy saver.
Led bulbs are more energy efficient than cfls.
Cfl and led bulbs use up to 80 percent less energy than their incandescent counterparts and can last up to 25 times longer.
The carbon emission of an led light is 514 lbs of co2 per year which is much lower in comparison to carbon emissions of cfl and incandescent bulbs.
However its average life span is much less than that of an led bulb.
With an astonishing lifespan of 25 000 hours led light bulbs are the undisputed heavyweight champion in longevity.
Led although led technology for use in bulbs has not been on the market for long the lifespan estimates for the new technology are astounding and leave cfl and incandescents with little to show for in comparison.
These use approximately 75 less energy than the traditional incandescent bulb.
About 1028 4405 lbs of co2 is recorded every year from cfl and incandescent bulbs respectively.
Incandescent bulbs typically only last a mere 750 hours compared to the longer lasting led and cfl bulbs.
Now it is time to replace led lamps over cfls because of the following advant ages.
