Fluorescent Tube Lighting

Fluorescent Tube Lighting Points : fluorescent tube lighting The fluorescent tubes are usually available in lengths of 0.61 metre and 1.22 metres. The tubes are generally coated from inside with fluorescent materials and the colour of light given out by these tubes depend upon the fluorescent material used. The powder used as a fluorescent material is activated by the ultraviolet rays generated in the tube. The popularity of this tubes in the daily life is due to the reason that total illumination given out by them is much higher than filament lamps they operate at low temperatures and the glare is eliminated. The illumination of 80 W. Tube (4ft. length) is same as that of 200 W filament lamp. The following are the wiring diagrams for starting the tube circuit.
