UK Retailer discusses the different applications of CFL technology in the fight for more sustainable lighting solutions
 
The world has come a long way when it comes to more sustainable lighting solutions. Our reliance on fossil fuels for electricity has meant that the world as a collective has started exploring alternative ways of saving on power, which includes green or energy-saving bulbs.
One of the main types of lighting used in homes across the UK is fluorescent light. The standard fluorescent tube and the compact version, the CFL, has fortunately matured into a very usable lighting product. The fluorescent light was one of the first moves the world made to going green when it came to the bulbs in our home. Going back to the 90s they were very prevalent and did save energy, but did have their technical problems. One of the main issues with the fluorescent tube was the flicker and the dependency on good electronic integration with the starter. There were certainly many tubes that used to just flicker the whole time, become a nuisance, and just end up being turned off. These days the technology has advanced considerably and often has integral starters especially in the CFL types which make far easier electrical installations as no external starter of high-frequency control gear is needed.
“We’ve seen a considerable increase in the interest in CFL bulbs in households across the UK. This is to be expected as they are very efficient, bright, and easy to install and maintain,” says Paul Towers, Director of Saving Light Bulbs. “We currently have a lot of the CFL bulbs in stock and one of our most popular options is the 2D compact version that has a host of use cases and is very trendy right now.”
The 2D compacts come in 3 main sizes, the 16W, 28W, and 38W lamps. The 16W is a small unit around 135mm square and the 28W and 38W are larger measuring about 200mm square. This means that the light output is very good for the size of the lamp with the 38W typically producing 2900 lumens which means where space is a premium and there is no room for fluorescent tubes the 2D compact is an ideal solution.
The lamps come with 2 types of cap fitting either the 2-pin 2D compact or the 4-pin 2D compact. The 2-pin has its own built-in starter and the 4-pin lamp is configured to use with external electronic control gear either of the standard or high-frequency type.
The 2D compact CFL bulb is one of the most popular options available according to Saving Light Bulbs.
