The 6 Main Types of Light Bulbs and How to Use Them in Your Home. To learn more let's go.

Number 1
Incandescent
The original electric light bulb as developed by Thomas Edison and his contemporaries in the mid-to-late 19th century, incandescent bulbs are made of glass with a gas like argon plus a tungsten filament inside. Light is produced when an electrical current runs through the filament and causes it to glow. While incandescent light is known to be very flattering on skin (use it in your bathroom vanities!), these bulbs are not very energy efficient at all. In fact, Congress passed an act in 2007 to promote more energy-efficient lighting, which has killed the production of standard 40-to-100-watt incandescent bulbs.

Number 2
Standard Fluorescent
Fluorescent light bulbs are often recognized by their long, tubular forms. While you’re more likely to see them in offices and stores than in private homes, you might also use them personally in your garage, basement, or workshop. They produce light when the mercury vapor inside their glass tubes is ionized through an electrical charge, and they’re known for their long lifespans—several years on average.

Number 3
Compact Fluorescent (CFL)
Like their brethren, CFL light bulbs emit light when their mercury gas is ionized, but they have a small twisted shape that’s easier to use in a household setting rather than a long tubular one. The pro to CFLs: They use far less energy than incandescent light bulbs. The cons: They emit a harsh light, they’re more expensive than incandescent bulbs (though they do last longer), and they do contain mercury, which means they’re toxic if they break.

Number 4
Halogen
Coming in somewhere between incandescent bulbs and fluorescent ones on the energy-efficiency spectrum, halogen bulbs produce an artificial light that’s most similar to natural light, which is certainly better for your health. They function very similarly to incandescent light bulbs in that they feature a glass bulb filled with gas and a tungsten filament that glows when electricity is introduced. But the difference is the gas—incandescents commonly use argon, while halogens use halogen (duh!).

Number 5
Light-Emitting Diode (LED)
The most energy-efficient light bulb of them all, LEDs function a bit differently than their filament-burning compatriots. They produce light through semiconductors, or materials that are not as conductive as things like metal, but more conductive than insulators like rubber. It’s pretty technical, but the gist is that LEDs don’t require nearly as much energy to work, they have long lifespans (somewhere around a decade!), and they don’t emit much heat at all.

Number 6
Smart Bulbs
Pretty much everything in your home can be “smart” these days, and that includes light bulbs. Smart bulbs are usually LED lights, with the added benefit of being WiFi-enabled, meaning you can control them remotely via an app or an AI like Amazon Alexa or Google Home. As you might expect, they’re usually quite expensive.
