Energy savers to safeguard the world

Philips compact fluorescent lamps with integral control gear

Philips invented compact fluorescent energy savers (CFL-I) a quarter of a century ago. Since then, continuous development has produced better light quality, longer, more reliable life, lower mercury content and an increasingly compact design. In addition, the range available has greatly expanded to meet virtually all existing applications and even created new ones.

Today, compact fluorescent lamps are increasingly used both indoors and outdoors, summer and winter, for decorative and display purposes as well as for providing easily-installed low-cost amenity lighting.

The first Philips energy savers were designed to replace ordinary incandescent filament lamps, to combat rising energy costs following an oil crisis. Now, the need for CFL-I lamps is even more fundamental - they also play a major role in combating climate change due to CO2 emissions. So when you upgrade clients’ lighting from incandescent to CFL-I, you are doing much more than simply reducing their lighting costs.You are playing your part in sustaining precious resources, safeguarding the world for all our grandchildren to enjoy.All the benefits of CFL-I are obtained simply by changing the lamp! Like incandescent lamps, they run direct from the mains using a standard lamp cap.They produce the same amount of high-quality light as the lamp they replace. But there the resemblance with incandescent lamps ends

•Compact fluorescent lamps can cut energy consumption by as much as 80%, saving a fortune on energy bills and drastically reducing CO2 greenhouse gas emissions.

•Compact fluorescent lamps last between six and fifteen times longer than incandescent lamps, saving you expensive relamping maintenance and the inconvenience of failed lamps.

•Compact fluorescents produce less heat than incandescent lamps, reducing discomfort as well as airconditioning bills.

•Unlike incandescent lamps, many compact fluorescents are available in a choice of light colour temperatures.

Note: Not all Compact fluorescent lamps with integral control gear are suitable for use with external electronic devices.

Compact Fluorescent Lamp specifications

Philips Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) are innovative lighting solutions designed to provide energy-efficient illumination for both residential and commercial applications. With a distinctive twist on traditional incandescent bulbs, these lamps offer significant advantages in terms of energy consumption, longevity, and overall environmental impact.

One of the key features of Philips CFLs is their energy efficiency. Consuming up to 75% less energy than conventional incandescent bulbs, these lamps convert a larger percentage of electricity into visible light, making them both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. This energy efficiency not only reduces electricity bills but also contributes to lower carbon footprints.

Philips CFLs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and color temperatures, catering to diverse lighting needs. From warm white tones that mimic traditional bulbs to cooler daylight effects for task lighting, users can easily find a solution that suits their specific requirements. The versatility of these lamps makes them suitable for use in various fixtures, including table lamps, ceiling fixtures, and outdoor lighting.

Another notable characteristic of Philips CFLs is their impressive lifespan. With an average lifespan of 10,000 to 15,000 hours, these lamps significantly outperform standard incandescent bulbs, which typically last around 1,000 hours. This longevity not only reduces the frequency of replacements but also minimizes waste, aligning with sustainability goals.

Philips utilizes advanced technologies in the design of their CFLs to improve performance and reliability. For instance, the integration of electronic ballasts enhances flicker-free, instant-on lighting, ensuring a seamless user experience. Additionally, some models incorporate safety features, such as reduced mercury content and durable construction, further emphasizing Philips' commitment to safety and environmental stewardship.

Moreover, Philips offers a range of dimmable CFL options, allowing consumers to adjust the brightness to suit their mood and create the desired ambiance. This flexibility makes Philips CFLs a perfect choice for various applications, from cozy living rooms to bright, focused workspaces.

In conclusion, Philips Compact Fluorescent Lamps represent a smart investment in modern lighting technology. With their energy efficiency, long lifespan, diverse range of options, and commitment to safety and sustainability, these lamps not only illuminate spaces but also contribute to a greener planet. The continued innovation by Philips in this realm underscores the importance of energy-efficient lighting in today’s world.
