Abstract

The growing concern regarding green house gas emissions during power generation has increased awareness regarding energy conservation. Next to transportation, lighting is one of the major sources of energy consumption. Compact fluoresce light bulbs (CFL) can provide the same amount of lumens as incandescent light bulbs, using one quarter of the energy. As a result they are rapidly gaining in popularity and are being used to replace the incandescent bulbs in all types of lighting.
