Electric crystal chandeliers look very pretty with all those bulbs making the crystals twinkle like stars. Until now the bulbs used in the crystal chandelier were all incandescent bulbs. These types of bulbs have been around ever since they were invented to provide light and they have changed little since that time. Incandescent bulbs do provide good lighting but most of the electricity that they consume is turned into heat this makes them inefficient. With newer technologies developing other forms of bulbs use much lesser electricity to give out the same lighting.
Due to this fact the government has decided to phase out incandescent bulbs. Right now there are two types of bulbs available to replace the incandescent bulb. One are the Compact fluorescent lamps and the other are LED lamps. Though Compact Fluorescent lamps are more efficient than the incandescent bulbs. They are a bit more expensive but their life is much greater than the incandescent bulb. However disposing of the used bulbs is hazardous. On the other hand LED bulbs Have the longest life are more efficient than even the compact fluorescent bulbs and do not pose a hazard while disposing. The only drawback of the LED bulbs at this time is that the initial cost of the bulb is very high since this is an emerging technology and it is expected that within a few years they will be more affordable.
So in the near future all those electric crystal chandeliers will dazzle the rooms with newer technology of the LED lamps.
