CFL stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamp, and they are an energy-efficient alternative to incandescent bulbs. CFL lamps can be used to replace these bulbs, and they can be placed both indoors and outdoors.
The power consumption is lower on CFL lamps. Result, you save money operating them.
CFL lamps are more efficient than incandescent lamps because they produce light using a different method - they convert electrical current into ultraviolet light which is then converted into visible light by a phosphor coating inside the lamp. This process is more energy-efficient compared to incandescent lamps, which produce light by heating a filament inside the bulb.

Mercury lamps are being phased out in many markets due to environmental concerns over mercury content. Different regions may have specific deadlines for discontinuing the sale of mercury lamps, so it's best to check with local regulations or industry updates for the most accurate information.
There are not currently any car replacement lamp that use CFL bulbs. I wouldn't be surprised to see them or something similar in the near future.

Compact fluorescent bulbs used to be all or nothing. They couldn't be dimmed. Most cfl lamps (bulbs) are this kind. However, special cfl bulbs are now being marketed, at a higher price, that can be dimmed by a normal dimmer switch previously used for incandescent bulbs. However, not all dimmer switches work with these newer dimmable cfl lamps.
The abbreviations are CFL - Compact Fluorescent Lamp, MHL - Metal Halide Lamp, HPMV - High Pressure Mercury Vapor, and one more is HPS - High Pressure Sodium lamp
A CFL is a Compact Florescent Lamp. Compact florescent lamps are more complex than a traditional lightbulb, and the circuits inside the CFL create electrical "noise" in that can affect other devices. The choke is a coil or inductor that is designed to filter out the noise to reduce it's interference with other devices.
In a stage show it needs various types of CFL and Sylvania offers comprehensive range of high-efficiency fluorescent lamps in various lengths, diameters, wattages, colours as well as lamps for a wide range of specialist applications. Only watts doesn't matter in stage show.
