The Difference - Technology
The key difference between Fluorescents and Incandescents is how they "create" light. Fluorescent bulbs outlast up to 13 incandescent or halogen bulbs.
The Difference - Cost
Check the Facts! A compact fluorescent may cost more to purchase than an incandescent, but that's where the story ends. Compacts can typically save 8 to 12 times their cost.

Temperature
90% of the energy consumed by an incandescent bulb is wasted heat. This makes the bulb extremely hot to touch and very unsafe.
