Solution
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs):
CFL bulbs are long-lasting and energy-efficient lighting that helps users save money on power while giving an impressive experience.
CFLs use a fraction of the energy than standard incandescent bulbs use.
A glass tube with two electrodes makes up this device. The interior surface of the glass tube is filled with phosphorous, which is made up of a mixture of argon and mercury vapor.
CFLs are favored over incandescent lights because they use less energy and do not lose heat.
