Fluorescent



Fluorescent is an energy efficient lighting choice because it is about four times as efficient as incandescent lighting.

Fluorescent lighting is used for both ambient and task lighting.
  They normally last about 10 times longer than incandescent and 3 times that of HID.



  The following points will help in selecting the best fluorescent light bulbs:
Select fluorescent bulbs with electronic ballasts.
For compact fluorescent, select a ballast base that is separate from the bulb. The ballast will outlive the bulb, letting you change the bulb only.
Select the longest rated life.
The efficiency of lights is measured by the amount of lumens created per watt of electricity expended. For example, fluorescent lights may range from 22-85 lumens per watt.
The Color Rendering Index (CRI) and Kelvin Temperature should be suggested and explained by your lighting specialist.
