Compact fluorescent lamp. A family of single-ended fluorescent discharge light sources with small-diameter [16-millimeter (5/8-inch) or less] tubes.
COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMP. A generic name used for a whole family of small, single-ended fluorescent lamps with a folded, bridged, or spiral glass tube design and with high color rendering (cri80) and a long life (8,000 hours).
Compact Fluorescent Lamp the lamps/bulbs are designed to take the place of standard incandescent lamps/bulbs saving energy costs by producing more light with less energy.
COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMP. A small fluorescent lamp that is often used as an alternative to incandescent GLS lamps. The lamp life is 4 to 10 times longer than incandescent lamps, and is some 3-5 times more efficient. Known generally as CFL lamps, and available in many versions. All require a ballast, which may be integral with the lamp or separate with a bayonet cap (BC) or Edison screw (ES) base.
Compact Fluorescent Lights CFLs use less energy than standard lights. The typical CFL bulb consumes only about 25 percent of the electricity required by standard bulbs.
Compact Fluorescent Lamp. Small fluorescent lamps used as more efficient alternatives to incandescent lighting. Also called PL, CFL, Twin-Tube, or BIAX lamps.
Compact Fluorescent Lighting. Compact fluorescents are an efficient form of lighting; CFL bulbs use one-quarter to one-third as much electricity to give the same light output as a standard incandescent bulb while creating much less heat, and last up to 10 times as long as a standard incandescent light (10,000 vs. 1,000 hours).
Compact Fluorescent Lamp (a low energy light bulb)
Compact Fluorescent Lamp. The general term applied to fluorescent lamps that are single-ended and that have smaller diameter tubes that are bent to form a compact shape. Some CFLs have integral ballasts and medium or candalabra screw bases for easy replacement of incandescent lamps.
Compact Fluorescent Lamp. A fluorescent type bulb that has the ability to be utilized in an incandescent fixture, and still maintain the efficiency and qualities of a standard fluorescent bulb. These bulbs generally offer 75% savings in electricity while maintaining comparable light levels. Compact Fluorescent bulbs require a special adapter/ballast or may have one built in. Average life span is 10,000 hours.
Compact Fluorescent Lamp. Colour Temperature The colour of light. Example 2000°K is Yellowish. 5000°K is a cold white colour.
Compact fluorescent light. A modern light bulb with integral ballast using a fraction of the electricity used by a regular incandescent light bulb.
Compact Fluorescent Light. A light that utilizes fluorescent technology but has a bulb that is wound into a compact shape, such as a spring, rather than designed straight as a tube. This allows CFLs to fit many standard lighting fixtures.
means Cold Fluorescent Light. Backlights for TFC and TMC modules are CFL tubes shining through the edge of a diffuser.
Compact Fluorescent Lamp. An industry term for small diameter (T4-T5), single ended energy efficient fluorescent lamps. These lamps are used to replace inefficient incandescent lamps and consume approximately one-forth of the wattage of incandescent lamps with similar lumen output. CFL lamps are available in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4100K and 5000K color temperatures and have high CRI ratings. The use of rare earth phosphors create a warm and inviting mood, with colors so rich and natural that you won't believe they're fluorescent. Ballasts regulate CFL lamps.
Compact Fluorescent Lamp. The general term applied to families of smaller diameter fluorescent lamps, some of which have built in ballasts and medium screw bases for easy replacement of incandescent lamps.
Compact Fluorescent Lamp. A device with small diameter fluorescent lamp(s), built-in ballast and a medium screw base for easy replacement of incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent tubes are usually 5/8" in diameter and may be spiral or U-shaped.
Compact Fluorescent Lamp. These are small long living fluorescent lights that can be used as an alternative to incandescent discount light bulbs. They can also be known as BIAX lamps. (See Fluorescent).
