Fluorescent lamps generate more than 70% of all the artificial light in
the world but consume only 50% of the energy needed for lighting. They
need only about one fifth of the electricity that an ordinary light
bulb needs. Depending on the type and the way in which they work, their
average life is between 5000 and 45,000 hours, whereas a light bulb
lasts only for 1000 hours.
Innovative fluorescent lamps such as LUMILUX from OSRAM with their new
shapes are opening up even more options for lighting design. Operation
with electronic control gear such as QUICKTRONIC from OSRAM ensures
maximum economy and long life.
