DC Compact Fluorescent Lamp

These series lamps are specially designed to meet requirement from solar or wind powered lighting system. The voltage available with 12V DC and 24V DC. We provide a wide range options both of powers, shapes.

When used with a battery system our compact fluorescent lights have a lifetime of up to 8000 hours and 8000 - 10000 On/Off cycles.  Our CFLs do not flicker when they start, any orientation is acceptable and wrong polarity will not harm the lamp.  However they will not operate unless the center pin is positive. Our CFLs have been tested and found to comply with Canada's as well as the USA's radio frequency interference standards. If the temperature is below normal room temperature compact fluorescent lights may be slow to start and take a few minutes to come to full brightness. The lights may not start below minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit). The battery voltage range for a 12V DC system should be between 10.5V and 14.5V DC and between 22V and 29V DC for a 24VDC system.

Fluorescent lamps work by exciting mercury which gives off ultra violet light.  This ultra violet light is changed to a colour that is visible to the human eye by the phosphors coating the tubes. Different phosphors are what make the light give the soft white colour or the daylight colour.  Because all fluorescent lights contain mercury, they must be disposed of properly. Consult the recycling department of your city hall, regional district or county.
