Fluorescent

Applications:

Our fluorescent lighting solutions are most suitable for plants that require low to medium light intensity and do not require much incandescence. We offer a wide range of customized fixtures with fluorescent bulbs for different kinds of applications.

Benefits:

• Fluorescent lighting is relatively low cost
• Most fluorescent lamps and frames are readily available
• The scientific applications of fluorescent lighting have been well studied for over 50 years
• They produce white light in various color ranges
• Fluorescent lights use much less energy than incandescent lighting
• They have a wide adjustment range and can be dimmed or brightened as needed
• Color-specific peaks can be obtained with special gas mixtures

Considerations:

• Performance uniformity typically degrades after about 1,000 hours of usage, which may cause disruption in research results
• Fluorescent lamps must be recycled or disposed of properly and with special care
• Performance degrades at both the lower and higher operating temperatures
