    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamps_and_health

    Some linear fluorescent lamps contain reduced mercury (as low as 1.7 mg) [22] and are typically termed as "Green" and are recognizable by their green caps/tips. [ 23 ] The U.S. EPA states that using energy-efficient CFLs reduces demand for power, which reduces the amount of coal burned by power plants and hence reduces the amount of mercury ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp

    Fluorescent lamps convert electrical energy into useful light much more efficiently than incandescent lamps, but are less efficient than most LED lamps. The typical luminous efficacy of fluorescent lamps is 50–100 lumens per watt, several times the efficacy of incandescent bulbs with comparable light output (e.g. the luminous efficacy of an ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp

    Circular and U-shaped lamps were devised to reduce the length of fluorescent light fixtures. The first fluorescent light bulb and fixture were displayed to the general public at the 1939 New York World's Fair. The spiral CFL was invented in 1976 by Edward E. Hammer, an engineer with General Electric, [7] in response to the 1973 oil crisis. [8]

    One of the first diameters of fluorescent lamps, with the 15W T8 and 30W T8 having been introduced in 1938. [3] The European energy-saving krypton T8 lamps were introduced by Thorn EMI during the 1970s. [4] The North American energy-saving argon T8 lamps weren't introduced until the 1980s. [5] T9 T29 1 + 1 ⁄ 8: 28.6 G10q quad-pin; G13 bi-pin

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_saving_lamp

    Energy saving lamp. Energy saving lamps are sources of artificial light that employ advanced technology to reduce the amount of electricity used to generate light, relative to traditional filament-burning light bulbs. Examples of energy saving lamps include: Fluorescent lamps; i.e. regular and compact; LED lamp; a Light-emitting electrochemical ...

  7. United States lighting energy policy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_lighting...

    This set up performance standards and the phase-out of incandescent light bulbs in order to require the use of more efficient fluorescent lighting. EISA 2007 is an effort to increase lighting efficiency by 25-30%. Opposition to EISA 2007 is demonstrated by the Better Use of Light Bulbs Act and the Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act.
