Energy-efficient lamps use electricity much more efficiently than equiv-
alent GLS lamp. 10. For example, 20W energy-efficient lamp will give the
same light output 100 GLS lamp. 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. voltage applied two terminals electrodes sealed into the end
of glass tube containing gas metallic vapour will excite the contents and
produce light directly.11 shows three typical shapes.
Discharge lamps
Discharge lamps not produce light means incandescent filament
but the excitation gas metallic vapour contained within glass
envelope.

Tungsten Halogen Dichroic Reflector Lamp.23 and the control circuit Fig 10. Fluorescent tubes and CFLs operate this principle.
The ‘stick’ type give most their light output radially while the flat ‘double
D’ type give most their light output above and below.
COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS
CFLs are miniature fluorescent lamps designed replace ordinary GLS
lamps. 14. The lamp
construction shown Fig.10 are extremely popular the lighting schemes of
the new millennium.24.
FIGURE 14. They are available variety shapes and sizes that they can
be fitted into existing light fittings. However, only lamps offering more than lumens
of light output are considered energy efficient the Government’s criteria. Figure 14.
