Benefits Of Cfl Lighting By: Shalu Nagpal
Description: CFL lamps stand for Compact Fluorescent lights lamps. These lighting systems are increasingly getting popular across the world for its high quality and cost effectiveness. Previously, these CFL lights were more into the commercial sector due to their high costs and large sizes. However, with improvements in technology, CFL lighting systems are now available at lower costs and in smaller sizes, which can be used easily and conveniently in residential locations.
CFL lights are entirely different from the traditional incandescent bulbs since they do not use filament to emit light. Instead, they produce light with the help of the mixture of three phosphors. When this mixture is exposed to ultraviolet light from mercury atoms, they emit light. The light produced from the CFL bulbs is more diffuse than incandescent bulbs and hence, used for area lighting purposes.

For instance, if you use 18 watt CFL to replace 75-watt incandescent bulb, you will save over 500Kw over its lifetime that is much more than the original cost of CFL. In addition, it saves atmosphere also from that extra CO2 released from power stations.
