Fluorescent lamps

TL Standard colours

Fluorescent lighting is efficient and economical.The efficacy (lumen/watt) of all fluorescent lamps is high compared to most other light sources.

Different luminaires are available for various purposes.

TL lamps are low-pressure mercury discharge lamps with a clear tubular 38 mm envelope. The tube wall is internally covered with a mixture of fluorescent powders.

TL Standard colours have a moderate colour rendering index (CRI 50-70). Especially the red part of the spectral power distribution is moderately covered by Standard colours.

TL Standard colours are mostly used in applications where colour rendering is not an important factor.

The colour designation of TL lamps creates a certain atmosphere. It varies from warm white to cool daylight.The colour designation is determined by the colour temperature of the lamp.
