2. Fluorescent vs. Incandescent Lamps
Fluorescent lamps provide Energy Efficiency & Longer Life
Before Fluorescent ... Incandescent lamps were the only available electric lighting source, and they are still common today for a variety of applications. But… Incandescent lamps are not efficient and don’t last long. The heat that incandescent lamps generate demonstrate their inefficiencies as lighting sources.
Fluorescent lamps are significantly more efficient than incandescent lamps, using less energy and lasting significantly longer. This efficiency can be measured in terms of Lumens per Watt (LPW). This is similar to Miles per Gallon with an automobile.
Incandescent 18 LPW 750 hrs. life
Fluorescent LPW 20,000+ hrs. life

3. What makes a fluorescent lamp glow?
As an arc current passes through the gas in the fluorescent tube, the electrons flowing from the electrode at the ends of the lamp collide with the mercury atoms that are in the gases of the lamp.
The impact of the electrons and the mercury atoms produces ultraviolet rays. These ultraviolet rays strike the phosphors on the glass wall of the lamp, causing them to fluoresce and produce visible light.

4. Incandescent Lighting does NOT need a Ballast
Ballast Requirement
Incandescent Lighting does NOT need a Ballast
An incandescent lamp operates directly off the power line. Current flows through the filament, and the filament glows, providing light. The filament also acts as a resistor to limit the current passing through it.
120 V

5. Which Lamps Need Ballasts?
Lamps that need ballasts
Which Lamps Need Ballasts?
All arc discharge lamps such as fluorescent and high intensity discharge (HID) require ballasts for proper operation. Without a ballast, these lamps will not work.
Linear Fluorescent
U-Bend Fluorescent
Circline Fluorescent
Compact Fluorescent
HID
Screw-in compact fluorescent lamps include an extremely small ballast built into the plastic base where the socket is located.
