Today, a fluorescent lamp is still in demand as it was 10 years ago. Moreover, modern models are improved. There are different types of products presented, but they all have the same advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of fluorescent lamps
Among the advantages of this equipment are the following:
- profitability (despite high power, lamps consume a small amount of electricity);
- safety (such lamps do not pose a threat to health in general and vision in particular);
- efficiency (due to the structural features of the fluorescent lamp is able to work perfectly even in enclosed spaces: warehouses, pantries, corridors);
- durability (compared to conventional incandescent lamps, the equipment presented can be used for decades);
- the possibility of use in both residential and non-residential premises;
- A variety of shapes, sizes and designs.
Varieties of fixtures
Modern industry produces completely different tube designs. We have long been accustomed to the fact that a fluorescent lamp can be mounted on a table, hung on a wall or ceiling. However, such products may have different sizes. For example, in your interior, there may be point elements that do not have large dimensions. Moreover, they are very convenient.
Recessed luminescent lamps are also in great demand. Basically they have a square or rectangular shape. They are used in those rooms in which suspended ceilings are mounted.
I must say that the lamps have not only standard white color. They are capable of giving blue, orange or other light. It all depends on what kind of gas the flask is filled with.
Features of the use of lamps
As already mentioned, the presented products are often used in office and industrial premises. Although in domestic conditions they are also no exception. The luminescent lamp practically does not require any special operating conditions. However, there are still some features of use.
For example, a lamp will not be effective if the room is cold (less than +5 degrees), or it will shine very dimly. Like any other electrical equipment, the presented product is undesirable to use in rooms with high humidity. Although this possibility exists if the room is well ventilated, and the equipment is reliably protected.
At home, large luminescent structures can also be used, but spotlights will become more effective . They fit perfectly into the interior and will work effectively. Moreover, you can make any accents in the design of the premises with the help of such elements.
In order for the eyes to not get tired of the bright light, the lamp should be covered with a frosted glass or plastic shade that is able to scatter the beam. Otherwise, you will feel discomfort or a headache. To prevent this from happening, you can also use a fluorescent lamp with a grill.
It should be noted that the equipment presented can be used in landscape design.
