CFL bulbs, on the other hand, are made of glass tubes filled with gas and a small amount of mercury. The amount is so small that an old-fashioned glass thermometer holds 100 times as much mercury as one CFL bulb.he mercury in a CFL bulb also means that you should not toss burned-out bulbs in the trash. Many municipalities offer recycling services, as do retailers such as Home Depot, Wal-Mart and IKEA, although not necessarily at all locations.
Halogen bulbs are extremely hot compared to a normal light bulb. Â© iStockphoto /Andrey Butenko. Let's start with a normal electric light bulb like you see in any normal household lamp. A normal light bulb is made up of a fairly large, thin, frosted glass envelope. Inside the glass is a gas such as argon and/or nitrogen. At the center of the lamp is a tungsten filament. Electricity heats this filament up to about 4,500 degrees F (2,500 degrees Celsius). Just like any hot metal, the tungsten gets white hot at that heat and emits a great deal of visible light in a process called incandescence. See How Gas Lanterns Work for more information on incandescence.
