FLUORESCENT LAMPS
Fluorescent lamps come in a multitude of shapes, lengths and colours. In terms of energy use they can
range from 4 watts to over 200.
In the way of size they can be anywhere from several inches in length to
over 10 feet and anywhere from 5/8's of an inch thick to an inch and a half.
We will insure that you get the CORRECT lamp that fits into you fixtures and
does not strain your ballast.
The best way to choose the
appropriate fluorescent lamp for your application is to choose a colour temperature* and
contact one of our
informative representatives.
GENERAL USE FLUORESCENT LAMPS:

colour temperatures. Thus they are also the most inexpensive. However, they leave much to be
desired in some applications such as Retail Stores, Art Galleries, Restaurants, Beauty Salons and
