Fluorescent floor lamp is the right option when it comes to energy consumption and cost. Fluorescent floor lamp is also much cooler and less likely to start a fire.
Indeed, fluorescent floor lamp is not like halogen lightbulbs that produce large amounts of light. Fluorescent lamp produces less light, but enough for indoor areas. Even, the newer design of this lamp has been made nearly silent. Also, if the typical halogen lightbulb will last around 3,000 hours, most fluorescent lamps will last three to four times longer than halogen lamps. The followings are several types of fluorescent floor lamp available to you:
1. The UltraLux™ Compact Fluorescent Floor Lamp
This fluorescent floor lamp offers a safe, energy-efficient alternative to the conventional 300 watt halogen floor lamp. This lamp uses a 58 watt Full Spectrum tri-phosphor fluorescent bulb, and is available in seven beautiful models. The fixture’s dimmable switch allows for variable lighting levels ranging from 1,000 to 3,900 lumens, while the balanced lamp design configuration offers uniform light distribution at any setting. With the lamp on high, the fixture will deliver light as bright as most 300 watt halogen torchieres.
The great thing about this fluorescent floor lamp is it operates at cooler temperatures. So, this lamp is not like halogen lamp that can cause hundreds of home fires. The UltraLux™ lamp’s operating temperature is 130 degrees. Compare that to a halogen floor lamp which operates at a much higher 1000 degree temperature.
In addition, this fluorescent lamp uses much less electricity. The UltraLux™ torchiere uses 1/6th the electricity than that of a halogen floor lamp. It also lasts much longer. It is known that halogen lamps burn out quickly compared to CFL’s.
