ENERGY SAVING LAMP

Energy-saving lamps operate on the principle of fluorescence, where electricity excites mercury vapor inside the lamp, causing it to emit ultraviolet light. This UV light then interacts with a phosphor coating on the inner surface of the lamp, producing visible light. Compared to incandescent bulbs, energy-saving lamps convert a significantly higher percentage of electrical energy into light, rather than heat, resulting in lower energy waste.

Energy-saving lamps also have a longer lifespan than traditional bulbs, typically lasting 8 to 15 times longer. This not only reduces the frequency of replacement but also lowers maintenance and waste.

Although energy-saving lamps have become less common with the rise of LED (light-emitting diode) technology, they still offer a viable and affordable alternative for those seeking energy efficiency in their lighting solutions.
