Compact Fluorescent Lighting EFI offers a wide selection of energy efficient lighting products including the latest technologies in compact fluorescent lights (CFLs).

Most good quality CFLs are rated to last between 8,000 and 12,000 hours. This usually translates to a 2 4 year lifetime depending on usage. (One year is 8,760 hours.

1 Compact Fluorescent Lighting EFI offers a wide selection of energy efficient lighting products including the latest technologies in compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). CFLs are designed to produce a high-quality, incandescent-like warm light and use about 70% less electricity than conventional incandescent lights. Most good quality CFLs are rated to last between 8,000 and 12,000 hours. This usually translates to a 2 4 year lifetime depending on usage. (One year is 8,760 hours.) Not all dimming switches are compatible with dimming CFLs. There are times when flickering and/or buzzing may occur with certain switch and lamp combinations. We suggest that you buy a small quantity of dimming CFLs and try them in your application before re-lamping a large area. Unless specified, CFLs are not rated for use in outdoor fixtures. If used outdoors they should be in an enclosed fixture protected from the elements. Enclosed post lights and porch ceiling fixtures are good places to install CFLs. In terms of light output, typical incandescent equivalents are as follows: CFL Wattage 5w 25w ~250 Approximate Incandescent Equivalent Lumens/output 7 10w 40w ~450 11w 40w ~600 13w 50 60w ~750 15w 60w ~900 20w 75w ~1,200 23w 90w ~1,400 26w 100w ~1,700 38w 150w ~2,700 55w 250w ~3,900 70w 300w ~4, Orders: 800/876/0660 X1 efi.org/wholesale wholesale@efi.org

2 Lighting Compact Fluorescent Lighting All Compact Fluorescent Lights have the following features and benefits: ENERGY STAR listed 2,700 to 2,800 degrees Kelvin same color as traditional residential lighting 8,000 12,000 hours life times 82 CRI (Color Rendering Index) Medium Edison Base fits standard sockets. Some decorative bulbs have candelabra bases smaller size Definitions of Terms Average Rated Lifetime The median time it takes for a lamp to burn out. Based upon continuous testing of lamps in laboratories, the hour rating is the point in time when 50% of the test samples have burned out and 50% are still functioning. Ballast The part of the lamp assembly designed to start and control the flow of power to the fluorescent lamp. Color Rendering Index (CRI) An international system used to rate a lamp s ability to show an object s color. The higher the CRI, based on a scale of 0 100, the truer colors will appear. Any CRI above 80 is considered very good. Natural sunlight has a CRI of 100. Color Temperature A measure used to describe the whiteness of a light source. The higher the color temperature, the cooler or whiter the light will be. Residential incandescent bulbs are usually around 2,800 Kelvin, which is warm light. Office lighting is usually over 4,000 Kelvin, which is cool light. Most Compact Fluorescents fall in the 2,700 to 3,000 range mimicking traditional residential lights. Dimensions All the light bulb dimensions are shown in Height first and Width second (H x W). Height is measured from tip to tip which includes the socket. Width is measured at the widest point of the product. See below. Lumen A measure of the amount of light given off by a light source. A typical 60w incandescent gives off 840 lumens, a 100w incandescent gives off 1,750 lumens. Check manufacturer s specs. Lumen output and wattage equivalents vary slightly from brand to brand. Minimum Starting Temperature (MST) MST will tell you how a bulb will perform in cold weather. This is mostly important if you are planning to use the product outside or possibly in a detached garage or walk in cool space.
