CFL Types and Uses
Guide to Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)
And Their Applications
Compact Fluorescent Lamps are designed to be used
wherever standard incandescent lamps might be used.
Use this Guide to help determine which size and shape of lamp to use in each area of your home or business.
|
Springlamp
Table lamps, floor lamps, ceiling fixtures, desk
lamps, outdoor fixtures |
|
A-Lamps
Table lamps, floor lamps, ceiling fixtures, desk
lamps, outdoor fixtures, ceiling fans |
|
|
This is the basic configuration for
compact fluorescents. If you look closely, you'll see
a "Springlamp
Inside" the other shapes. |
|
These were designed to imitate the shape of a standard
incandescent bulb. Use these where the "look" matters
to you, or where a clip-on lamp shade is used. |

Globes
Bath vanity lights, pendant fixtures, ceiling fans |
|
Torpedo/Candelabra
Chandelier, post lights, ceiling fan, sconces |

Bug Lights
Bugs don't dislike yellow light -
they only see the blue part of the spectrum, so yellow
keeps you "invisible" to the bugs! |
|
Note: Use standard Springlamps in enclosed fixtures
such as enclosed ceiling lights.
Don't put an enclosed CFL (A-Lamp, Globe, Flood) inside a fixture that is also fully enclosed.
