Fluorescent lighting other than compact fluorescent bulbs

Term · Energy · MLC-T-ENE-000824

In fluorescent lamps, energy is converted to light by using an electric charge to "excite" gaseous atoms within a fluorescent tube. Common types are "cool white," "warm white," etc. Special energy efficient fluorescent lights have been developed that produce the same amount of light while consuming less energy. Note: for definition of compact fluorescent bulbs, go to compact fluorescent bulbs.
