FAQs Regarding Specialty Fluorescent Lighting

The LightSources group not only provides the most cutting-edge lighting solutions to OEMs of all sizes but we also operate a comprehensive website loaded with a broad range of information regarding our products.  One way we assist you with any problems or questions you may have, is with our FAQs section that is found under the Education tab for the various types of lighting we offer. 

For example, if you use specialty flurorescent lighting, you will be able to find answers to a variety of questions you have regarding the products.  The FAQs provides practical information such as how far can you position the inverter from the lamp, and can you run more than two lamps on a single invertor?  These are important questions that you may need answers to. 

We even provide details for the preferred methods of mounting small diameter fluorescent lamps.  The answer is that “any method that does not put stress on the glass envelope and/or the lead-to-glass seal on the lamp end is acceptable. Most common methods are to solder the leads (with a strain relief bend) directly into a PC board, or to secure the lamp ends with a custom silicon end cap.”

Another interesting question answered by our experts explains the meaning of “Color Temperature”.  Here is part of our answer: The color temperature of light refers to the temperature to which one would have to heat a “black body” source to produce light of similar spectral characteristics. Color Temperature is expressed in degrees Kelvin (K). Low color temperature implies warmer (more yellow/red) light while high color temperature implies a colder (more blue) light. Moreover, the “color temperature” of a lamp refers to how reddish, greenish or bluish the lamp appears.”
