CFL longevity and how to make it last longer. Compared to incandescent light bulbs, Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) rated lifespan is typically 8 to 15 times longer (6,000 to 15,000 hours). CFLs produce less light over time and it is expected that they produce 70â80% of their original light output by the end of their projected lifetime.
The white LED lamps that resulted from this invention emit very bright white light and are superior in terms of energy efficiency and lifespan when compared with incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. LEDs can last some 100,000 hours, whereas incandescent bulbs only last around 1,000.
