| CFL | LED |
|---|---|
| More power consumption / Watt. | Energy saving in proportional to reduction in Greenhouse gases from manufacturing plant. |
| CFL content mercury, hence hazardous and disposal problem. (5 CFLs life = 1 LED lamp life) | LED light does not contain Mercury, hence no disposal problem. |
| Produce ultraviolet light, leakage affects human body cells. | No UV Light |
| Leakage ultraviolent components affect chemical paints eg. House paint, paintings, clothes etc. | No UV Light |
| Wastage of Light (360deg illumination) | Object oriented illumination (Unidirectional light) |
| Produce more heat than LED. Air Condition consumes more power in CFL environment. | Less heat, energy saving. |
| In cold temperature, efficiency reduces or some time does not function. | Functions in -20 deg to 50 deg. |
| Uses glass tube. Chances of breakage during handling & transport. | Generally uses acrylic / PVC / PM covers. |
| Life cycle depends upon number of switching (ON/OFF). | Life cycle independent of number of switching (ON/OFF). |
| Frequent maintenance damages the interior. | Maintenance friendly. |
