The amount of radiant heat produced by a fluorescent lamp is nearly what percent of that of a filament lamp of the same rating

  • The amount of radiant heat produced by a fluorescent lamp is nearly what percent of that of a filament lamp of the same rating of 20%.
  • Fluorescent lamps are more energy-efficient than filament lamps because they produce light by exciting gas molecules inside the lamp, rather than by heating a filament.
  • This means that they convert a higher percentage of the electrical energy they consume into light, rather than heat.
  • In contrast, filament lamps produce light by heating a filament until it glows, which requires a lot of energy and produces a lot of heat.
  • The heat produced by filament lamps is a significant contributor to their overall energy consumption, and it is why they are less efficient than fluorescent lamps.
  • The amount of radiant heat produced by a fluorescent lamp is significantly less than that produced by a filament lamp of the same rating, typically less than 20%.
