Consider the following statements: A. The average life span of a CFL is much longer than that of an LED lamp. B. A CFL is less energy efficient as compared to an LED lamp. Which of the above statements is/are correct? Select the code for the correct answer from the options given below: Correct Answer B only

The correct answer is B only.

  • LED bulbs last longer than CFL bulbs.
  • With a lifespan of approximately 25,000–35,000 hours, an LED bulb lasts 2 to 4 times longer than a CFL. Hence statement A is NOT correct.
  • LEDs are more efficient than even CFLs. Hence statement B is correct.
  • CFL’s use 25-35% less energy than LEDs or incandescent bulbs, use.
