Energy -saving lamps are called compact fluorescent lamps (cells) with built -in electronic start -ups (EPRO). The presence of a standard threaded base allows you to use these light sources as a direct replacement of traditional lamps. But at the same time, a 20-watt energy-saving lamp corresponds to an incandescent lamp with a capacity of 100 W. And the average service life of the mass segment of the energy-saving lamps presented on the market is 8-10 thousand hours. In incandescent lamps, this indicator is only 1 thousand hours. In addition, low heat dissipation allows you to use energy -saving lamps in lamps, critical to heating.
The advantages of these light sources also include: universal working position; lack of stroboscopic effect during operation; uniform distribution of light over the flask; the possibility of choosing color of the glow; Compactness and wide line of sizes and capacities.
Despite the fact that energy -saving lamps are somewhat more expensive than familiar incandescent lamps, they save in the future and completely cover the cost of buying.
