Also, the light bulb requires no special equipment, like a ballast, to modify the characteristics of its power supply. Incandescent bulbs are often used in commercial and industrial applications where the intended hours of use are low (less than 500 hours per year), where needed for aesthetic purposes, or where initial cost is an overriding criterion.
The most common types are: the "A" or arbitrary bulb-shaped light bulb; the "PS" or pear-shaped light bulb; the "R" or reflector light bulb; the "PAR" or sealed-beam light bulb ENERGY EFFICIENT REPLACEMENTS For many of the popular light bulb types there are energy efficient replacements designed to deliver approximately the same amount of light at reduced wattage. These light bulbs are generally more expensive than their corresponding standard light bulbs but the additional cost can be recovered in a few months worth of energy savings. Energy efficient incandescent light bulbs generally have the same design as standard light bulbs. In most cases the main difference lies in the type and quantity of fill gas used. Energy Efficient incandescent light bulbs use approximately 10% less power than their standard counterparts. | ![[ <font color=orange>Incandescent</font> - L-I - Light Bulbs fluorescent light bulbs halogen bulbs compact fluorescent bulbs full spectrum bulbs lamps ballasts and lighting fixtures. ]](sek_r1_c1.gif)
