When it comes to lighting up a home or business, compact fluorescent bulbs tend to be the ones chosen more often than other types of bulbs. They are chosen most often because of the great light output and good color along with energy efficiency as well. When compared to incandescent lighting, these are longer lasting, using much less energy making them a perfect choice for almost any type of lighting. There are several kinds of compact types which include the regular household base, some that are plug-in types and some short linear bulbs. As with all fluorescent bulbs, they rely on ballasts inside of the fixtures or units to make them work. The ballast is important because it is specific for each type of lamp. You can't change from one type of fluorescent to another without changing the ballast in most cases. On a rare occasion, there may be a ballast that is made for several different types such as in the case of some Philips PL-L compact fluorescent lamps.
With higher electrical costs, many businesses and home users are looking for ways to save energy with lighting. There have been many different types of fixtures developed to accommodate the high lumen Philips PL-L. With it's longer length, it requires longer space and so you'll see it used in special light fixtures for track lighting, cove lighting and larger high bay warehouse lights. There are many cases in which the Philips PL-L fluorescent lamps have been used in high bay and low bay light fixtures in warehouse or manufacturing facilities. This gives users an instant-on capability which might be important in some production facilities while still reducing energy costs. You will find a great reduction in your electrical bill while still getting the amount of light that you want. Contact your local electric utility for rebates in your area which might be available for compact fluorescent light bulbs.
