Comparison of LED lights with IB and CFLs

 

	Incandescent Bulb (IB)	Compact Fluroscent Lights(CFLs)	Light Emitting diode (LED)
Life Span	30 (IB) x 1000 hours	5 (CFLs) x 6000 hours	1(LED) x 30,000 hours
Watt	75 Watt	14 Watt	7 Watt
ON/OFF Timer	Yes	Takes time to warm-up	Turns ON instantly
Durability	Glass/ Filament can break easily	Glass can break easily	Very Durable
Environmental impact	Filament can burn out	Contains mercury which is harmful to health and environment	Produces cool light and do not contain toxic, mercury,UV rays etc
Size and Color	limited	limited	Available in variety of size and colors.
Reliability	Has high CRI and low efficiancy.	Controlling the light distribution is difficult because of the use of phosphors and hence result in poor utilisation of light.	Emit a high percentage of light in the desired direction, silent operation and resistant to heat, cold and shock
Temperature	Some are sensitive to humidity	Not advisable to be exposed in low temperature or directly to moisture	Has the ability to operate in extreme climates as cold and hot
