The lack of lighting devices for creating artificial lighting in the life of a modern person is simply inconceivable. And although incandescent lamps, like energy-saving ones, emit artificial light equally, the use of energy-saving lamps can significantly save energy: about five times. There are two types of such lamps: fluorescent and LED. Almost all such lighting fixtures are presented in catalog of energy-saving lamps cues .
The second name of such lamps is gas-discharge based on the principle of generating radiation. A special powder (phosphor) is applied to the inner walls of the lamp, which looks like a bulb. The flask itself is filled with mercury vapor. During the supply of electricity in the flask, a powerful release of ultraviolet radiation occurs due to an electric discharge. The lamp starts to glow.
The lamp emits a luminous flux of various shades under the influence of a phosphor. Which is quite unusual and does not make people feel very comfortable. The dimensions of the bulb and base are the same as for standard incandescent lamps. This allows energy-saving lamps to be used in conventional wall lamps, lamps and chandeliers.
The service life of energy-saving lamps is: 5-12 thousand hours. The main part of the electricity in these devices is spent on creating a luminous flux, therefore, a relatively small amount of heat is emitted. The lamp housing stays cool, allowing even small luminaires to be used. For which the main criterion is the limitation in the increase in temperature.
The light from the energy-saving lamp is soft, scattered by the glow of the entire surface of the bulb. You can choose the color of the light flux: from daytime to cool white or soft white.
