Answer:

CFLs produce light differently than incandescent bulbs. ... In a CFL, an electric current is driven through a tube containing argon and a small amount of mercury vapor. This generates invisible ultraviolet light that excites a fluorescent coating (called phosphor) on the inside of the tube, which then emits visible light.

Advantages :

  • CFLS can last about 6 times longer (average lifespan of a CFL is five to six years).
  • CFLs save $30 or more in energy costs over each bulb's lifetime.
  • CFLs produce 70 percent less heat, making them safer to operate.

Disadvantages :

  • Some of the disadvantages of compact fluorescent bulbs are that they are cold temperature sensitive.
  • not recommended for enclosed fixtures.
  • can have a higher initial cost than incandescent.
  • have a longer warm up time.
  • they may have limited color temperatures.
