Topic > Energy Transformation in a Glowing Globe

With the growing need for more efficient means of energy, the time has come to act on our ideals of sustainability. In today's society it is almost impossible to replace old incandescent light bulbs, however there are also other types of energy saving light bulbs that need comparison and incandescent ones still need to be considered. In this report, with the help of diagrams and visual aids, the three main types of lighting will be compared and explained. This first diagram is a glowing orb. It is available in 40, 60, 100 and 150 Watt sizes. However, even though the energy input is greater, the energy emitted in the form of light is quite small. Most of it is converted into heat. Therefore, this form of light is inefficient and significantly impacts usage. Anyone who uses a bulb like this will charge a high fee, resulting in large electricity bills for relatively nothing. The advantage of this type of bulb is the shape. It started to mean a lot to people who grew up with these types of light bulbs (before the more efficient types were even invented). Other than these small advantages, this particular type of light globe does not offer many advantages. They can be used for agricultural uses such as providing warmth for young chickens or ducks, but other than that everything else is downside. One of the disadvantages of incandescent bulbs is that they emit more heat than light. This is called "wasted energy" as there is no real use for this light other than what is mentioned above. The transformation of energy into a glowing orb is complicated, but not so much so that it is difficult to understand. Energy is transferred from the wire to the filament, causing it to heat up. When the filament is heated, it produces...... half the paper......ent is hindered by some of the characteristics mentioned. The CFL (compact fluorescent) lamp is fragile and contains 5 mg of mercury, potentially dangerous for the environment. In almost all these columns the negative aspect of compact fluorescent is found. Frequent cycling on and off reduces the lifespan of fluorescent lamps compared to incandescent lamps and LEDs - this is a substantial problem. When designing a more efficient lighting choice, you want to minimize the consequences caused by deterioration, in the same way that someone would use a biodegradable shopping bag instead of one that won't degrade for several years. Seeing this, one must rethink their original perspective. Comparing all aspects together, it is clear that LED lights are more efficient from every perspective, last longer and work more efficiently in the long term.
