The compact fluorescent light lamps are the best Energy saving light bulbs available in market to conserve electricity. By preserving electricity, the usage of non-renewable resources can be minimized. This helps to save the resources that cannot be reused like water, electricity, etc. Electricity generation involves consuming tidal power which is run by making use of water resources. Since the natural resources have been found to get depleted day by day, it has become necessary to conserve the resources that have to be preserved for the use by future generations.

Electricity generation can be minimized by the usage of compact fluorescent lamps. The recent researched made has been conveyed that the use of CFL’s can lead to certain health inefficiencies. Other than that, the lifetime for which the lamps can be used has showed wonderful results.

The lifetime of Energy saving light bulbs depends on many factors such as

1.      Operating voltage

2.      Exposure to voltage spikes

3.      Manufacturing defects

4.      Mechanical shock

5.      Lamp orientation

6.      ON/OFF frequency cycling

7.      Operating temperature

The CFL life span can be made 85% shorter in 5 minutes ON/OFF cycle than that of the incandescent light bulbs. The CFL starts emitting less light in the future days than it was emitting in the beginning when it was designed. The output of light depreciation is considered to be exponential while considering loses after which the lamp was used. Originally, the output of these Energy saving light bulbs was expected to be 80% of the original output.

In future, these lamps can be brought to daily usage, when it proves to be perfectly free from causing health problems.
