Compact Fluorescents

Compact fluorescent lamps are often an attractive way to save energy and maintenance costs in commercial, industrial, government, educational and residential lighting applications. Some compact fluorescent lamps can directly replace incandescent lamps. They combine high color rendering (82), outstanding energy efficiency (using 75% less electricity than comparable incandescents) and long life. (10-13 times longer than incandescents). In color appearance and temperature, some of these new lamps match incandescent lamps and eliminate the "cold, impersonal" feeling previously associated with fluorescent lamps.

Compact fluorescent lamps can be used in high hats, wall sconces, ceilings, task lighting, exit signs and outdoor lighting. Clustered compact fluorescents provide a substantial increase in light output compared to standard PL lamps, with all the other benefits of compact size.

Compact fluorescents can provide flexibility in commercial interior lighting applications, with high light output and excellent color rendering performance in a versatile compact size well-suited to two-foot-long fixtures. These lamps can be operated in vertical and horizontal positions with rapid-start, electronic and even dimmable circuits. These lamps are available in a variety of lengths, wattages, and color temperatures for your specific application needs.
