Tons of homeowners across the country have already made the switch from incandescent to CFLs or LEDs, and the consensus is generally popular.Yes, CFLs can be a little bit expensive, but once you start reading about them, the advantages begin to mount.
They don’t burn as hotly as incandescents, they last way longer, they provide the same quality lighting and light output, and most importantly, use less energy.The more you learn, the better it gets.
All fluorescent bulbs need them, including CFLs.
Compact fluorescent bulbs were specially designed, in most cases, to serve as direct, plug-and-play replacements for incandescent lights.Therefore, while linear fluorescent lights and circline bulbs (among others) need separate ballasts to regulate current and voltage if the intended fixture doesn’t have them built-in, this is very rarely a consideration for CFLs.
The point of the replacement is to save time, money, and effort, not to increase labor.
They include all of the electrical components necessary to ensure that they will work when plugged into a socket that expects an incandescent bulb.
