Key Compact Fluorescent Bulb Differentiators
KEY CFL BULD DIFFERENTIATORS
Remember when selecting a CFL there are many certifications that ensure quality, safety, and environmental friendliness.
- Energy star is facilitated by the environmental protection agency. Products are tested and meet strict energy standards.
- UL or Underwriters Laboratory ensures electronic devices meet safety standards. UL listed lamps are tested for public safety and apply to self ballasted lamps only.
- Toxicity Characteristic Leading Procedure classifies waste as hazardous or non-hazardous for the purpose of disposal.
Consider the CFL and incandescent equivocalness. Incandescent use 4 times the energy of CFLs
60Watt/4= 15W CFL
Amalgam is a mercury alloy used in CFLs.
Amalgam dissipates heat, in high energy temperature applications, evens the lumen output, and is used in high wattage applications.
CFLs with amalgam give a wide operating temperature range, stable light output in any burn position, and low mercury content, less than 1 mg per lamp.
Two types of dimmable CFL’s are integrated circuit and non- integrated circuit.
Not all CFLS are dimmable
