Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL)
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is an energy-efficient alternative to incandescent light bulbs. It produces light by exciting mercury vapor within the glass tube, causing it to emit ultraviolet (UV) light.

Overview
Compact Fluorescent Technology
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) serves as a highly energy-efficient alternative to traditional incandescent light bulbs. By exciting mercury vapor within the glass tube, the lamp generates ultraviolet light which is then converted into visible light via a phosphor coating. This design ensures significantly lower power consumption and a notably longer operational lifespan compared to conventional lighting solutions.
