Difference energy saving bulb and LED bulbs
As with halogen lamps, energy-saving bulbs contain polluting mercury, which of course is not environmentally friendly. The lifespan of low-energy light bulbs (up to 8,000 hours) is also much lower than the lifespan of LED lamps (at least 15,000 hours). The advantage of low-energy light bulbs is that they are slightly cheaper, but an LED lamp is a better investment since they last at least twice as long. In terms of energy consumption are about the same.
