LED technology is growing rapidly and is replacing the CFL and
Fluorescent. If we see the fast going up curve of LED, then this question comes
into mind that are the LEDs are entering into their prime time. Will the LED
kick out CFL and Fluorescent? Well, it's possible if the LEDs are a step ahead
in every aspect, from the CFL and Fluorescent. Let's try to find out the answer
of this puzzling question in this article.

Lifespan
If we talk about the lifespan of all three, then it's LED, which
is far ahead than the other two. Lifespan is one of the most considered factors
as no one likes to spend money again and again. LED offers a lifetime of over
40000 hours which is better than what the CFL and Fluorescent offer. This
factors support the kicking out of the CFL and Fluorescent in the near future.
Heat Output
People are getting smarter nowadays and look for every single
thing that can save their hard earned money. With CFL and Fluorescent, the
major problem is of heat output. These bulbs waste a huge amount of energy
supplied to them as heat. Obviously, as the useful energy is getting wasted as
heat, so more energy will be consumed by CFL and Fluorescent and its direct
impact can be seen on big bills of electricity. On the other hand, LEDs don't
produce any heat and thus eat less electricity. So LED lights lighten your
pocket to less extent and this is one of the major reasons that support the LED technology will kick out CFL and Fluorescent.
Material Used
You might have noticed that Government also suggest people to
use LED instead of CFL and Fluorescent.
The reason is safety of our environment. The material used for making the CFL
and Fluorescent, is Mercury, which is quite dangerous, not only to environment,
but to human health as well. But no such material is used in LED.
Frequent Use Impact
This is another feature that stands in the side of LEDs. The CFL
and Fluorescent are not good in the place where you switch on and off the
buttons frequently. Such people should consider the LED only as the light is
not so strong and is not get affected by the frequent use, to any extent.
Cost
Yes, features do matter, whenever we buy anything. But Cost of
the product is what we can't neglect. Talking about the cost, the LEDs are not
highly expensive as compared to CFL and Fluorescent lamps life span. As LEDs
consume less energy, so the money that you spend to buy them, gets returned,
slowly, year by year.
LEDs are far better than CFL and Fluorescent. But the only
problem is of little bit high cost and it's not a major one compare to its life
time. The reason why many people have not switched to LEDs yet is they’re not
aware about using LEDs and its advantages. But the research is under process to
decrease the manufacturing cost of LED and thus providing it at low price. If
it happens, then it's a sure thing that LED Technology will ditch CFL and
Fluorescent soon.
