Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are smaller versions of the familiar
fluorescent strip-lights
- Compact fluorescent lamps operate by
energizing the mercury in the lamp, which then gives off ultraviolet
radiation that causes phosphorus on the inside of the glass tube to
glow. Fluorescent lamps require a ballast to regulate the current that
the lamp receives.
- Materials in a CFL include glass, phosphorus,
mercury, argon, plastic ballast casing and an electronic ballast circuit
board
- When compared to incandescent lamps of the same luminous flux,
CFLs use less energy and have a longer rated life as well as save 2000
times their own weight in greenhouse gases. CFLs' average life is
between 8 to 15 times more than incandescent. While the purchase price
of a CFL is typically 3 to 10 times higher than an equivalent
incandescent lamp, the extended lifetime coupled with lower energy
usage, more than compensates for the higher initial outlay. CFLs are
designed to replace incandescent lamps and fit conveniently in the
existing light fixtures being used for incandescent bulbs.
-
Governments all over the world are either encouraging or coercing people
to replace tungsten lamps with CFLs to save energy and reduce our
carbon footprint.
- Future Market will be driven by energy efficient
compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), improved light emitting diode (LED)
technology, and popular high intensity discharge headlamps for motor
vehicles. Building applications will be the fastest growing market.
