Fluorescent Desk Lamp

Desk lamps became fluorescent in the 1950’s and since then, they have been an integral part of many households.

Earlier, they used flickering and buzzing tubes, but now the fluorescent lights used in a fluorescent desk lamp are steady and quiet.

Previously, fluorescent bulbs took some minutes so that they could warm up and start emitting light properly. Today’s fluorescent desk lamps turn on at a single flick of the switch.

Over all these years, a fluorescent desk lamp has become more sleek and compact and many of them contain an 18 watt bulb.

Though it is compact in size, these fluorescent lamps are able to emit around 6000 hours of fluorescent light before it demands to be replaced.

The fluorescent light technology was invented around a century ago but since then, scientists are continuously refining it all through. Around two decades ago, the CFL bulbs came onto the scene and are extremely efficient and compact when compared to earlier fluorescent lights. Each of the CFL bulbs contains the power to light at least two incandescent bulbs and it can burn for 10 times more hours than former ones.

If you have decided to purchase a fluorescent desk lamp, then you are not just getting a better lamp for your desk, but you are also helping the environment. Incandescent bulbs emitted too much heat and as compared to those, CFLs produce less heat, and need to be replaced less frequently.
