Compact fluorescent lamp technology is relatively new compared with the other fluorescent lamp types. These lamps were designed to replace incandescent lamps to achieve high-energy efficiency. The line of compact fluorescent lamps is expanding rapidly and the number of manufacturers offering these products is growing.

Compact fluorescent lamps have been designed to deliver light with characteristics similar to incandescent lamps. Most have a color temperature of approximately 2700K and have a color rendering Index of 82. They also deliver comparable lumen output to incandescent lamps with only one fourth the wattage.

As with any fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescents require a ballast to regulate the current flowing through the tube. Most, if not all, compact fluorescent types require special ballast due to their unique size and operating characteristics. They are available in a multitude of shapes and sizes. These lamps allow for the design of a wide variety of low wattage, highly efficient fixtures very useful for energy and maintenance savings in a broad range of commercial and industrial applications.

Cluster lamps provide even more light than the standard compact. They replace 40-, 60-, 75-, and 100-watt incandescent bulb, providing a 76% energy savings and up to ten times the life.
