Abstract
With the increasing expansion and improved technology of light bulbs, we need to pay attention to their compatibility with the environment. Therefore, in this article, we will compare the annual mercury production of two famous incandescent lamps (INCs) to the annual mercury production of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) by considering all parameters. These parameters include the difference in power usage, difference in manufacturing processes and difference in recycling processes.The data used and analysis performed pertains to the United States of America. We define some classes for lamps for more convenient access to algorithmic programs. More equations are expressed for a 100-watt incandescent bulb and a 25-watt Compact Fluorescent Lamp (Class4).The results of the analysis show that replacing an incandescent bulb with a CFL can reduce the annual manufacture of mercury, but that this reduced amount is changeable within the various classes.
