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.

GENERAL USE FLUORESCENT LAMPS:

Cool White, Warm White and Daylight are the most commonly used fluorescent 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 Spas etc.

  • For use where colour rendition is not important.
  • WARM WHITE

  • Daylight is bluer than cool white and has a moderately higher colour rendering.
  • It is also the brightest of the general use fluorescent lamps.
