Halogen Bulbs (Roccer DXX) | Professional photography/theater, industrial lighting | 800W (IEC 60064, high-intensity applications), Tungsten filament (ASTM E1257), R7S base (IEC 60061), ROHS compliant | High light output (3200K color temp ideal for studios), durable at high temps, eco-friendly certification | High energy consumption, generates heat, shorter lifespan than LED (≈2,000 hours) |
LED Bulbs | Residential/commercial energy-efficient lighting | 100W equivalent at 15W (IEC 62717), 50,000-hour lifespan (IEC 62717), CRI ≥80 (CIE 13.3) | Energy-efficient (low operational costs), long lifespan, resistant to vibrations | Higher upfront cost, may require specific fixtures, potential color variance over time |
Incandescent Bulbs | General household lighting | 60W (IEC 60064), 1,000-hour lifespan (IEC 60064), instant light | Inexpensive, instant on, widely available | Inefficient (15 lm/W), short lifespan, emits excess heat |
Fluorescent Lamps | Commercial/office lighting | 40W T8 tube (IEC 60969), 15,000-hour lifespan (IEC 60969), mercury content ≤5 mg | Cost-effective for large spaces, energy-efficient vs incandescent | Mercury content (environmental hazard), slow startup, flicker issues |
HID Lamps (Metal Halide) | Outdoor/industrial lighting | 10,000 lm output (ANSI C78.377), 10,000-hour lifespan (IEC 60969), requires ballast | High lumen output (ideal for stadiums), durable | Slow restrike time (10–15 mins), bulky design, requires ballast installation |
CFL Bulbs | Residential/commercial energy-saving needs | 14W (equivalent to 60W, IEC 62257), 8,000-hour lifespan (IEC 62717), compact size | More efficient than incandescent, compact design, widely available | Mercury content (requires safe disposal), warm-up delay (1–3 mins), limited dimmable options |
