The costs of manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are about the same aside from the slight different materials.
Heat bulbs would be a more appropriate name because incandescent bulbs transform 90% of electricity received into heat and 10% into light. New Compact Fluorescent light bulbs use only 20% to 30% of the energy needed to power a standard bulb for the same wattage.
Older CFBs contained mercury. However, today's bulbs contain little, if any, mercury. Buying today's bulbs is a good choice, as they produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb, but yet uses a fraction of the energy.
No, given the same lumen rating. Florescent lights are more electrically efficient than incandescent bulbs. Be careful, fluorescent bulbs currently contain mercury and should be handled and disposed of properly. For more information, you may also want to read. http://home.howstuffworks.com/question236.htm
Brightness of a light bulb depends on the power, current, resistance and size of the filament. Lumens is the unit of measurement for the brightness of a bulb. A bulb has more brightness if there is more power and current. Greater the resistance, less is the brightness.

No, incandescent bulbs produce more heat than fluorescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs generate light by heating a filament, which also emits heat. Fluorescent bulbs produce less heat because they use electricity to excite gas inside the bulb, which then emits light.
Fluorescent light bulbs are typically more energy-efficient and produce more light for the same amount of power compared to incandescent bulbs. So, a fluorescent light bulb may appear brighter than an incandescent bulb with the same power rating.
Yes, that will not cause a problem.
CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamp. It is an energy-efficient alternative to traditional incandescent light bulbs, producing the same amount of light but using less energy.
It uses less energy, to produce the same light, than the traditional light-bulbs.
Yes, the compact fluorescent light produce more light as compared to the same wattage of incandescent light, it is scientifically proved.
Yes, fluorescent lights produce some heat when they are on, but significantly less compared to incandescent bulbs. The majority of the energy consumed by fluorescent lights is converted into visible light, making them more energy-efficient.

Yes, the wattage is just the power consumption. A 30 watt Fluorescent will give more or less the same light as a incandescent bulb or 60 watts, which is the limit for your fixture for incandescent bulbs.
That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb. The old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs produce much less light, for the same power, than the fluorescent light bulbs.That varies a lot, depending on the type of light bulb.
