How to Best Use of CFL Light

<br>Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) are smaller versions of standard fluorescent lamps. They consume much less energy but provide light that is comparable to incandescent lights. Also, they can generally directly replace standard incandescent bulbs.<br>Compared to traditional incandescents, energy-efficient light bulbs such as halogen incandescents, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and light emitting diodes (LEDs) have the following advantages: Typically use about 25%-80% less energy than traditional incandescents, saving you money.<br>All fluorescent lamps emit some UV. Typical fluorescent lamps, including CFLs, which consumers would encounter, emit very low levels of UV. In order to measure any UV radiation from these lamps, very sensitive measuring equipment must be used.<br>Indeed, LED (light emitting diode) lighting does seem to be the wave of the future right now, given the mercury content and light quality issues with the current king-of-the-hill of green bulbs, the compact fluorescent (CFL). LEDs use significantly less energy than even CFLs, and do not contain mercury.<br>More visit:- http://www.tradusway.com/lighting/cfl.html/ <br>

  1. CFL Lights

  2. Definitions • Light Sources • CCT (CorrelatedColor Temperature) • CRI (Color Rendering Index) • Efficacy • Lamp life • Lumen Depreciation/Lumen Maintenance

  3. Light Sources • Incandescent • HID • Fluorescent • CFL • LED

  4. - Terminology CCT(Correlated Color Temperature) - Kelvin (K) • Color temperature – a measure of the “warmth” or “coolness” provided by the lamp, expressed in Kelvin (K). • Generally, sources below 3200K are considered “warm” while those above 4000K are considered “cool.” • The higher the color temperature, the “cooler” or bluer the light. • Also called “Chromaticity”

  5. User Lighting Goal • Save money • Reduce power consumption • Reduce maintenance • Provide “proper” level of illumination • Safe • Adequate light level • Be environmentally friendly

  6. - Human Needs Comfort Issues • Adequate Illumination • Lake of Glare • Color Recognition • Eyestrain relief from the ability to change focus from close (computer screen) to distance (wall/window)

  7. Light Levels:Considerations Proper light levels required ■IESNA recommendations ■State/local standards Where light levels are correct, visual tasks are easier. Too little is bad - cannot see, eye strain too much is bad – glare, wastes energy

  8. Heat • Stated very simply, heat is death to electronics and LEDs are electronics – transistors • For every 10°C increase in temperature over a component’s rated temperature, the component’s life is reduced by half
