Comparison of Radiation Levels Emission Between Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLS) and Incandescent Bulbs

Climate Technology & Development Case study: Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)

evaluation of ultraviolet radiation emitted from compact fluorescent lamps

background : one way to optimize energy consumption is replacing incandescent lamp with compact fluorescent lamps .these lamps produce ultraviolet radiation due to the nature of light production. this study aimed to evaluate the ultraviolet radiation emitted from compact fluorescent lamps which are widely used in iran. methods : this study carries out on 16 compact fluorescent lamps (four diffe...

ارزیابی پرتوهای فرابنفش لامپ‌های کم‌مصرف از نوع فلورسنت فشرده

Iranians are replacing traditional incandescent lamps with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), because they use about a quarter of the power of incandescent lamps and their lifecycle is up to ten times longer. Government encourages public to use CFLs too, for saving energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Small amounts of mercury are used in CFLs, released to the environment if they are bro...

Light Spectrum of Compact Fluorescent Lamps in Iranian Market and Possibility of Hydroxyl Radical Production

Background and purpose: Despite growing use of energy-saving lamps or compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), there are concerns about ultraviolet radiation in their output. In this study, the output of CFLs available in Iranian market in the range of infrared, visible, and ultraviolet were measured and the possibility of hydroxyl radical production by their radiation was evaluated. Materials and me...

Comparative Analysis of Lighting Characteristics and Ultraviolet Emissions from Commercial Compact Fluorescent and Incandescent Lamps.

BACKGROUND Some characteristics of lighting sources such as color properties and ultraviolet emissions have important roles on visual and non-visual health effects of lighting. This study aimed to investigate the light emissions of some compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and incandescent lamps commercially available to the Iranian consumers. METHODS Sixty lamps included 48 single envelope CFLs,...
