Fluorescent lamps: an energy-saving tool

With the current controversy
over climate change, the Australian Government believes that light efficiency
provides an opportunity where significant energy savings can be made.  Compact fluorescent lamps are the basic
tool for saving energy.  CFLs work in
the same way as linear fluorescent
lamps.

History

In January 1931, Dr.  Albert W. Hull from the GE Schenectady
Laboratories patented low-pressure steam charging lamps – this was a great
achievement in the fluorescent field. 
In 1934, Dr.  Author wrote a
letter to Dr.  Williams and told him
that an English lamp manufacturer has done a great experiment for him to make
a lamp.  It was a large table lamp, its
height was 2 feet long and filled with fluorescent lamps from the
center.  From there, they have invented
a very efficient lamp.  This new lamp
will only use 240 volt choke ballast and a step-up transformer if used on a
120 V circuit.  This size became and
remains to this day the most popular fluorescent lamp ever
made.

Fluorescent lighting
also includes fluorescent lamps.  This
is too popular because it counts for too many lights.  It achieved this position in the 1970s and
became the world’s most widely used candle. 
Almost 80% of all lamps used in the world are fluorescent lamps.  These can be made in any color, mostly
white and in all shades.  It is the
need of every house, office, masjid, palace, cinema, shopping mall, resorts,
TV channels, shops, shopping center, government.  places and other places.  The living time is very long and the cost
is too short.  It is easy to use and
completely dimmable.  In the 1980s, the
fluorescent light is amplified by using the compact fluorescent lamp.  This has made it cheaper and more energy
efficient devices.  It is too much
light saver that any company has designated fluorescent lamps as energy
saving lamps.

Characteristics of
fluorescent lamps 

The first and foremost
quality of the fluorescent device is that it saves light.  These are useful in the humid
environment.  Some other features: the
color combination is too good, very low cost and simply useful.  Fluorescent lamps are very durable with a
long service life.  These are also
dimmable for special explosions.  There
are some disadvantages, it is also quite sensitive;  it shows light effect cases in cold
areas.  Some pipes are very long, it
will be different to handle these.
