  1. Types of lights Jack Urban

  2. Fluorescent lights • Glass tube filled with Mercury • Low Pressure • Phosphorus substance inside tube • Electric current runs through: • Gets Hot • Glows • Electrons hit Mercury atoms which produce UV light • Saves Energy

  3. LED Lights • Produce light by having an electronic current pass through the material with illuminates the light • Has different colors • Popular because its very efficient

  4. Incandescent lights • Most common lights used in homes • AKA “screw-in A type light bulb” • Most inefficient light bulb • Light bulbs with thicker filaments: • Last longer • Not energy efficient

  5. Halogen lights • They are the energy-saving incandescent lights • More expensive to buy than incandescent lights • Less expensive to run than incandescent lights (Due to its efficacy) • Has color renditions • Often used in lamps

  6. Most efficient light • The Compact Fluorescent Bulb

  7. Environmental Concerns • Incandescent lights: • Use too much heat • LED lights: • Contain too much Mercury • CFL: • Most efficient • Don’t use too much heat • No mercury
