Comparing new technology with incandescent
Incandescent or Fluorescent
- A fluorescent lamp is up to six times more efficient than an incandescent lamp by emitting more light (lumens) per watt of electricity
- A fluorescent tube lasts up to fifteen or more times longer than an incandescent lamp
- The colour temperature and colour rendering of the light can be specified with fluorescent lamps
- Changing from incandescent lamps to compact fluorescent lamps is relatively simple and very cost effective
Incandescent or Halogen
- A halogen Lamp lasts up to six times longer than an incandescent lamp
- A halogen lamp emits up to fifty percent more lumens per watt than an incandescent lamp
- The cooler colour of halogen light is more acceptable in some situations than the warmer colour incandescent lamp
- Due to the smaller size of halogen lamps, many designer luminares are available to create distinctive, attractive and accent lighting for different applications
