The types CFL light bulbs

There are quite a few different kinds of CFL Bulbs.

Here are the 3 most common types:

Spiral type:

This CFL bulb is probably the prettiest of the light bulbs. As the name suggests, the bulb is a spiral shape. It can vary in size, and is quite decorative on its own.

Standard Bulb Shape:

This shape, though it can vary, is a standard shape bulb, which is useful for areas where you would most likely use the old shaped bulbs. For example, in a chandelier, where a spiral shape would not do.

Straight CFL Light Bulbs:

This is probably the most common shape. These bulbs just look like short, thin tubes coming out of the base and going back in. These are most ocmmonly used outdoors.
