Fluorescent lamp, also known as fluorescent lamp.

The traditional fluorescent lamp, that is, low-pressure mercury lamp, uses the principle that low-pressure mercury vapor releases ultraviolet rays after being electrified to make the phosphor emit visible light, so it belongs to low-voltage arc discharge light source.

1974, Philips Company of the Netherlands first successfully developed phosphors that can emit red, green and blue light sensitive to human eyes. The development and application of tricolor phosphors is an important milestone in the development history of fluorescent lamps.

Advantages of fluorescent lamps

1, LED fluorescent lamp, energy saving and environmental protection.

Traditional fluorescent lamps contain a lot of mercury vapor, which will evaporate into the atmosphere if it breaks down. However, LED fluorescent lamps do not use mercury at all, and LED products do not contain lead, thus protecting the environment. LED fluorescent lamps are recognized as green lighting in 2 1 century.

2, efficient conversion, reduce fever

Traditional lamps will generate a lot of heat energy, while LED lamps will convert all electric energy into light energy without wasting energy. And there will be no fading of documents and clothes.

3, quiet and comfortable, no noise

LED lamp will not produce noise, and it is the best choice for occasions where precision electronic instruments are used. Suitable for libraries, offices, etc.
