FIGURE 14.10 are extremely popular the lighting schemes of
the new millennium. Fluorescent tubes and CFLs operate this principle.24.
Energy-efficient lamps use electricity much more efficiently than equiv-
alent GLS lamp.

Discharge lamps not produce light means incandescent filament
but the excitation gas metallic vapour contained within glass
envelope. They are
available bi-pin package 20, and 50W and 230 bayonet
type cap (called GU10 GZ10 cap) 20, and lumens of
light output over its intended lifespan 2000h they are more energy effi-
cient than GLS lamps. Figure 14.

A fluorescent lamp linear arc tube,
internally coated with fluorescent
powder, containing low-pressure
mercury vapour discharge.
The ‘stick’ type give most their light output radially while the flat ‘double
D’ type give most their light output above and below.11 shows three typical shapes. voltage applied two terminals electrodes sealed into the end
of glass tube containing gas metallic vapour will excite the contents and
produce light directly.

them very popular both commercial and domestic installations. For example, 20W energy-efficient lamp will give the
same light output 100 GLS lamp.11

of light output are considered energy efficient the Government’s criteria
