🧵 A thread of 'Everything You Need to Know About Light Bulb

🚨 CFL Bulbs for Energy-Efficient Emergency Lighting

 There are 4 main types of light bulbs you'll find in homes:
LED, Incandescent, Halogen, and Fluorescent. Here's the breakdown, no fluff: 

💥 The Anatomy of a Bulb: Inside the Glow

🔌 Incandescent bulb.

🔌 Incandescent – The OG bulbs.

Warm glow, cheap to buy, but they burn hot and waste electricity. 💸

☠️ Being phased out in stores. Last about a year.

🧯 Halogen Safety Tips & Use Cases

🔥 Halogen – A little better than incandescent.

Brighter, crisper, but still gets HOT.

Not as energy efficient, but good for task lights and track lighting.

🚨 CFL Bulbs for Energy-Efficient Emergency Lighting

  • 🌪 CFL/Fluorescent – Remember the curly bulbs?

Use 75% less energy than incandescent, last longer too.

⚠️ Contain a bit of mercury — don’t toss in the trash!

⚡ LED Lighting: Top Pick for Electrical Upgrades

⚡ LED – The new king.

Uses the least energy, lasts 10–20 years, and comes in ANY style or color.

More expensive upfront, but saves $$$ long-term.

🧠 Understanding Light Color: The Kelvin Scale Breakdown

🟠 2700K = warm & cozy (bedrooms, living rooms)

⚪ 3500K = neutral white (kitchens, bathrooms)

🔵 5000K+ = daylight bright (garages, workspaces)
