Light Sources - Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL)

LCD Lighting, LCDL, offers CFL light bulbs with many standard configurations and options for choosing size, shape, wattage, standard or special arc lengths and the full range of specialty phosphors.  

Commonly requested Phosphors include: 

• Bilirubin Blue/intense blue (475 nm)
• DB
• Green
• Red (620 nm)
• Red (658 nm)
• Super Diazo  420 nm
• UVA:  Wideband – Black Light –  (350 nm)
• UVA-1: Narrow Band  – Black Light – (369 nm)
• UVB  ( 312 nm)
• NBUVB: Narrow Band UVB

We can customize UVA/ UVB and actinic phosphors and offer combination lamps with two different phosphors (one in each tube), it’s like having two bulbs in one. 

CFL bulbs for specialty lamps provide high light output (lm/watt) without consuming high energy or producing excessive heat as compared to incandescent lamps of comparable light output. This helps to reduce maintenance costs with many CFL lamps lasting more than 10,000 hours of life compared to standard halogen lights which last for about 2000 hours on average. CFL lamps produce a higher lumen output than incandescent lighting sources that use a lot more energy.

CFL lamps emit a bright, crisp light that provides a nice ambient lighting as well as clear and bright for detailed task work with excellent color rendering. CFL bulbs are very versatile and can be used in place of incandescent bulbs in just about any normal setting. They are available in many shapes and sizes and can work with three-way lighting and dimmers.

Compact fluorescent bulbs can be used in many residential places in place of incandescent and halogen lights such as in table lamps, recessed fixtures, ceiling lights or track lighting. CFL lamps are used in many commercial applications as they are extremely popular for their bright light and long-lasting life coupled with low energy use. These properties make CFL bulbs common in places like hallways and hotels, lighting for busy business offices, commercial properties like libraries and museums all benefit from the long life of CFL lamps.

CFL lamps are popular in many industrial applications such as quality control inspections in manufacturing, warehouses, shipping and receiving and many other functions. CFL lamps are utilized and outdoor security lighting and parking garages also due to their long life and bright light.
