Fluorescent Lighting

Description

Fluorescent Lighting is a type of lighting that produces light using electric current passed through a gas (usually mercury vapor), which then emits ultraviolet light that is converted into visible light by a phosphor coating inside the tube.

Key points include:

• Energy-efficient: Uses less electricity than incandescent bulbs while providing good brightness.
• Bright and uniform light: Ideal for large areas like offices, schools, and commercial spaces.
• Longer lifespan: Lasts longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.
• Cool operation: Produces less heat compared to incandescent lighting.
• Variety of forms: Available as tube lights and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs).
• Contains mercury: Requires careful handling and proper disposal.
