linear fluorescent tubes
Linear fluorescent tubes produce a more diffused
light and together with their high efficiency levels
makes them ideal for applications in large open
spaces such as offices, warehouses and public
buildings.
Halophosphate or Triphosphor?
Standard fluorescent tubes use a halophosphate
coating which is less expensive to produce and
therefore is a consideration when a low initial cost is
the most important factor. However more and more
tubes are now sold with a Triphosphor coating as
they provide a higher quality colour rendering and
significant energy savings. Both are available from
Stearn Electric.
How can the performance of a tube be improved?
The life of a fluorescent tube can be adversely
affected by excessive switching, variable
temperature conditions and the use of low quality
ballast units (electronic ballasts are recommended).
Limiting any or all of these conditions will enhance
the life and performance of the fluorescent tube.
