Question

why are compact flurocent bulbs preferred over electric bulbs

Answer 1

Electric current heats the filament so much that it glows. The incandescent bulb really is more of a heating element that happens to put out some light. ... Instead of a long, fat tube, the CFL has a smaller tube that's manufactured in a swirl shape so it fits the basic form of an incandescent bulb.
