The difference between the two light bulb technologies is that the old incandescent bulbs used a thin filament which was heated when electric current passed through it.

Thus, due to the heat it produced light. On the other hand, cfl light bulbs, use a phosphor coted tube filled with gas to produce light. When electric current passes through the gas in the tube, it produces UV rays which excite the phosphor coating and emit visible light.
