LOW INTENSITY
DISCHARGE LAMPS

 COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMP (continuation)

 INDUCTION LAMP
2.3.3 APPLICATION GUIDELINES
In general, compact fluorescent lamps are best applied in situations
where incandescent or other small fluorescent lamps would be
considered.

(a) Residential Applications.

Compact fluorescent luminaires is especially appropriate for;

 rooms (kitchens and bathrooms)

 utility room lighting applications
 enclosed exterior fixtures such as lantern, and path lights
 ambient light sources in wall sconces
 hard-to-reach places
 task lights
A COMMITMENT TO INCREASED RESIDENTIAL
USE OF COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS COULD
BE QUITE SIGNIFICANT, IN TERMS OF ENERGY
CONSERVATION.
IT COULD SAVE 25% TO 50% OF THE LIGHTING
ELECTRICAL ENERGY USED BY EVERY HOME IF ALL
ACCEPTABLE FLUORESCENT APPLICATIONS WERE
UTILIZED.

Exterior Application

Garage lights

Path lights

Lanterns

Security lights
(b) Commercial Applications
Commercial lighting represents the best application for compact fluorescent technology
because it can be easily incorporated into lighting designs that are both aesthetically
pleasing, and energy-efficient

• In office lighting design (troffers, downlights, wall washers, and task lights.)
• In retail lighting design, fluorescent light is appropriate for general illumination, wall
washing, and some types of case lighting
• In restaurants and hotels, most of the circulation areas and other public spaces (unless
high ceilings, HID sources are more appropriate.)
• some pendant type luminaires and wall sconces can be equipped with compact
fluorescent lamps.
• In hospitals, laboratories, schools, and other institutions, compact fluorescent lamps can
generally replace most incandescent applications.
• Many fast food’s smaller general illumination fixtures made possible by compact
fluorescent technology
• In industrial lighting, compact fluorescent lamps are being used because of its low heat
 General Lighting Applications

Modular Strip outlining
 Decorative and Portable Lighting Applications

Wall sconces
Table & floor lamps

Makeup & dressing lights

Chandeliers
 Utility Lighting Applications

Security lighting Step lights Exit signs

Task lighting
 Exterior Lighting Applications

Landscape floodlights

Pedestrian post top and bollard lights

Step lights

Vandal-resistant security lights

Under rail lights
(c) General Downlighting
Many corridors and lobbies are furnished with round or square recessed downlights for
general or wall wash lighting purposes.
A general rule-of-thumb is to use about 20% of the required incandescent lamp
wattage.
use a downlight with one 26-watt or two 13-watt lamps to replace a 100-watt
incandescent lamp
two 18-watt lamps replace a 150-watt incandescent lamp
two 26-watt lamps to replace a 200-watt incandescent lamp.
(d) Outdoor Floodlighting
Compact fluorescent lamp sources have excellent floodlighting capabilities, and there is a
significant potential for savings over the use of traditional incandescent sources.
Instead of using incandescent luminaire supplied with a 100-watt PAR-38 lamp use
a 22watt quad-tube compact fluorescent luminaire with reflector

Outdoor floodlight 100-watt PAR-38 lamp 22watt quad-tube CFL

(e) Decorative Lighting
Many pendant lights, wall sconces, and other types of decorative luminance are
available as compact fluorescent lamp sources.
2.3.4 Cost Savings Retrofit Profile
2.3.5 Standard for Compact
Fluorescent Lamps

Philippine National Standards

(PNS) require the display of an
energy label for all compact
fluorescent lamps. This will allow
the buying public to compare
power input, light output, efficacy
(lumens per watt), and average
life. Manufacturers, suppliers and
importers are required to label
every individual lamp with the
above parameters.
2.4—NEW TECHNOLOGY
2.4.1 Induction (Electrodeless) Lamps
• Induction lamps do not have electrodes.
• The discharge needed to generate light
take place through a closed “ring” with
no starting point and no end point.
• It has extended lamp life since it is
electrodeless.
• Applications for induction lamps are in
street, roadways, tunnels, high bays,
parking lot, and area lighting where lamp
change-outs are costly or dangerous
Advantages:

• Can last up to 30 years, dramatically reducing ongoing operations and

maintenance costs,
• Super long life, quick start, no flicker, auto restart,
• Deliver higher efficiency (more lumens per watt)
• Provide excellent color rendering (CRI over 80) versus HID (CRI: 22 for
High Pressure Sodium, and 70 for Metal Halide)
• Energy saving. Saves as much as 60 – 70% without sacrificing illumination
level, • Environment friendly due to very long replacement period.
