COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMP (CFL) SELECTION GUIDE
CFLs are an energy-saving alternative to traditional incandescent lamps. They produce light differently than incandescent bulbs. In an incandescent, electric current runs through a wire filament and heats the filament until it starts to glow. In a CFL, an electric current moves through a tube containing argon and a small amount of mercury vapor to generate invisible ultraviolet light. The UV light then excites the phosphor on the inside of the tube, which then emits visible light.
CFLs can be integrated or nonintegrated. Integrated lamps combine the tube and ballast into one unit. These lamps allow you to replace incandescent light fixtures to reduce the cost of converting to fluorescent.
Nonintegrated CFLs have the ballast permanently installed and only the bulb can be changed at its end of life. The ballasts are also larger and last longer compared to integrated ones and don’t need to
be replaced when the bulb reaches the end of its usable life. Nonintegrated CFL housings can be more expensive and more sophisticated.
They feature two types of tubes: a bi-pin tube for a conventional ballast and a quad-pin tube for an electronic ballast or conventional ballast with an external starter. Bi-pin tubes have integrated starters, which remove the need for external heating pins but can cause incompatibility with electronic ballasts. Nonintegrated CFLs can also be installed to a standard light fixture using an adapter with a built-in magnetic ballast. The adapter has a regular bulb screw, the ballast, and a clip for the lamp’s connector.
CFLs generally use about 75% less energy and can last 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs. A CFL’s ballast helps “kick start” the CFL and then regulates the current once the electricity starts flowing. Most CFLs today use quiet electronic ballasts.

BRIGHTNESSWhen considering brightness, look for lumens, not watts. Lumens indicate light output while watts indicate energy consumed. CFLs provide the same brightness (lumens) as incandescent bulbs, while using less energy (watts). Use this chart to compare incandescent and CFL brightness.
COLOR/APPEARANCECFLs come in a range of colors. Light color, or appearance, corresponds with a temperature on the Kelvin scale (K). Lower K means warmer, yellow-tinted light, while higher K means cooler, blue-tinted light.
