Do you know what the different between fluorescent and incandescent? The fluorescent is the long 4 foot cylinder tube light and compact fluorescent (CFL), while the incandescent is the dimmer light bulb, or the light bulb that generate heat and the light generated look yellowish.
What the different of compact fluorescent versus traditional four foot fluorescent? No different, both are base on same concept where the UV generated by argon gas (plus mercury as booster to improve the efficient of UV generated) hit the phosphors inside the tube wall, it generated cool white light. Visit How Fluorescent Light Work page for more info or if you prefer something easier to understand, visit HowStuffWorks Fluorescent.
The compact fluorescent basically is a fluorescent light system with all require part integrated (eg: ballast).
Visit Efficiency of fluorescent light compare incandescent, you may find a table compare different kind of lighting system. From that table, if you plan to use 2-3 compact fluorescent to light up your living room, better you go for traditional 4 foot fluorescent, where it provide better brightness and lower cost!
