What is a fluorescent light (low energy) source?
A fluorescent light contains gases in a tube but has no filament. Recent technology has reduced the size and improved the efficiency. Many different shapes and power options are available. The benefits are low power consumption (around 20% of a conventional light bulb) and long life (up to 8000 hours). They are ideal for lights that need to be kept on for a long time or are difficult to reach.
