Introduction: In recent years, use of compact fluorescent lamps has increased in order to optimize energy consumption. The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiations of electromagnetic spectrum from usual compact fluorescent lamps. Methods: In this study, 48 compact fluorescent lamps from different brands and cover (warm – cool) were selected. For studied lamps, operational facto...

Background and aims: Compact fluorescent lamps(CFLs) are low-pressure mercury vapor lamps, which are more useful than other light sources. Some studies reported the leakage of UV radiation from CFLs. The aim of this study was measuring of ultraviolet radiation from universal compact fluorescent lamps in Iran. Methods: In this study, measuring of UV radiation of 54 bulb compact fluorescent lamps...

Background and Objectives : Efficient Illuminance, ColorTemperature (CT), Color Rendering Index (CRI) and luminance regulations are the necessary needs for designing workplaces. The aim of this study was to investigate optical components in commercial Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs).  Methods : In this study, 48 coil compact fluorescent lamps available at Hamadan city market with some ...

Introduction: In recent years, compact fluorescent lamps have been more widely used across the country as a means of optimizing energy consumption. Given the health consequences of lighting sources, the present study was conducted to investigate the intensity of electromagnetic fields emitted by common compact fluorescent lamps. Materials and Methods: The study examined 54 compact fluo...
