Thomas Edison invented the first practical light bulbs in 1879, which were carbon-filament glass bulbs powered by electricity. Since then, several types of bulbs, such as halogen and LED bulbs, have been produced. Technological advancements have improved the energy efficiency, longevity, and control of these new forms of light sources. Smart home technology has enabled greater control over lighting in a specific area. Energy Efficiency of Light Bulbs Because light bulbs account for a significant portion of a home's energy bills, understanding the energy efficiency of various types of bulbs is essential. Incandescent bulbs are the least energy efficient of all, converting substantially more energy into heat than light and having an average efficiency of 10%. LED bulbs, on the other hand, can turn electricity into light at up to 90% efficiency while being significantly more durable. CFL bulbs are in the middle, with an average energy efficiency of roughly 65%, though their efficiency and lifespan vary greatly. In addition to the energy efficiency of the bulb's technology, the brightness of the bulb must be considered when purchasing. The brightness of a bulb is measured in lumens, with higher numbers indicating brighter bulbs that use more energy. Different Types of Light Bulbs Incandescent bulbs are the most common type of lighting, generating a warm yellow light. Halogen bulbs, like incandescent bulbs, create brighter light and last longer than regular incandescent bulbs. Compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) use significantly less energy than regular incandescent bulbs, but the
