Best Answer

HID or high intensity DISCHARGE lamps are lamps without filaments. They work as a gas discharge system which means that they work similar to a flourescent tube, in that they have a ballast system which provides a start-up voltage and then settles down to a running voltage once the lamp is ignited..

The lamp itself usually consists of a quartz shell, filled with some type of gas such as argon, zenon, etc. As a result, they are capable of putting out some serious lumens. The big drawback is that they usually don't last as long as regular incandescent lamps or LED's, and are more expensive to replace.

How many fluorescent bulbs would you need to replace all the incandescent bulbs currently in use?

not all incandescent lamps (bulbs) can be replaced by fluorescent lamps because there are some applications where there is no acceptable or equivalent fluorescent lamp. In some cases, other technologies may be useful--HID or LED lamps. There are some applications where the incandescent source, especially the tungsten-halogen type, still rules.
