The “usual” incandescent light bulb converts roughly 20% of electricity into light – the other 80% is wasted in the form of heat. That is why you cannot touch a normal light bulb within seconds of switching it on!
CFL’s (Compact Fluorescent Lights) can be handled most times while they are on. Yes, they me be warm but touching then should not leave a blister. They return to almost totally cold within seconds of switching them off – which makes it really easy to change them if one “blows” when it’s on.
These energy saving lighting products can last up to 6 times longer than incandescents. While they use up to 80% less electricity, they can deliver the same amount of light as normal bulbs.
