=Disadvantages Kerosene lamps=


*Kerosene lamps pollute the air, which can lead to health problems


*Kerosene lamps lose a lot of energy while producing heat


=Disadvantages Edison light bulb=


*Glow bulb lamps lose a lot of energy while producing heat and attracts insects


{{Wikipedia p|Cold cathode}}
=Disadvantages LED lighting=


Kerosene lamps give polluted air that gives health problem.
*LED lighting is very expensive as an alternative to fluorescent tubing though it does offer an increased lamplife of 50,000 run hours (approx 10 years) over a fluorescent tube which is typically 9000 hours. Modern LED alternatives to fluorescent tubing also offer a power saving of about 40-60% though this saving is normally not great enough to pay back the difference in cost between the LED alternative and fluorescent tube over the life of the fitting.


Glow bulb lamps lose a lot of energy producing heat.
=Disadvantages Energy saving [[fluorescent bulbs]] lamps=


Led lighting is not as energy efficient as fluorescent bulbs and tubes.
*Energy saving [[fluorescent bulbs]] lamps have a short life and cannot handle vibrations and are expensive
* Many types contains mercury and other dangerous metals


Energy saving fluorescent bulb lamps have a short life and can not handle vibrations and are expense.
=Advantages Standard fluorescent tubes=


Standard fluorescent tubes have a long life and are energy efficient.
*Standard fluorescent tubes have a long life and are energy efficient and are cheap.


The ballast of the fluorescent bulbs and tubes have a thiristor in the electronic ballast.
=Disadvantages ballast with thyristor=


This thyristor spoils a lot of energy producing heat.
*Fluorescent bulbs and tubes have a thyristor in the electronic ballast


The outend of the fluorescent lamp haves two filamento coils.
*This thyristor spoils a lot of energy producing heat.


These coils spoils a lot of energy producing heat.
*The base or outlet end of the fluorescent lamp has two filament coils


Heat attracts and scorch incecs.
*These coils spoil a lot of energy producing heat wen used with a thyristor ballast


This polluted the light source
=Advantages CCFL and EEFL inverter=


The ballast of a CCFL lamp have two transistors instead of a thiristor
[[Wikipedia:CCFL inverter]]
These trancistors does not heat a match up.


The CCFL tube lamp haves cold cathodes instead of filamento coils.
*have no thyristor that heat up, but has two transistors.


Cold cathodes out ends does not heat up.
*CCFL inverter can work on minimum 6 volt power


This make the CCFL lamp very use full to use in poor areas.
=Advantages CCFL lamp=


*Smaller, thinner, and more light weight than a known fluorescent lamp.


*Have no filament coils that heat up, but Cold cathodes.


*Have a longer life


It is imported to create a lamp cap with the following benefits:
*Can better handle vibrations.

How to

You can use a CCFL and electronic ballast out of an old SCSI document scanner. Just so you know a ballast is the same as an Inverter. Also not all scanners have CCFL technology the new ones have LED technology and very old black and white faxes have LED technology. You may be lucky enough to find in some scanners a separated CCFL inverter circuit board.

WARNING the CCFL inverter has a dangerous high voltage output

  • Some times you can find a circuit board with the CCFL inverter electronics and some scanning electronics.
  • You have to separate the scanning electronic parts
  • Cut of the CCFL ballast unrelated electronic
  • Now it have the right shape to use this inverter to light up the CCFL lamp.
  • It is possible to use a CCFL inverter in combination with a normal fluorescent tube lamp

CCFL in old FAX

It is possible to use a CCFL and electronic ballast out off an old fax machine, however some fax machines have a colored CCFL tube

  • In some colored CCFL tube faxes it is possible to take the colored film off
  • Some colored CCFL tube faxes have colored glass, then the tube is useless for the lamp cap
  • The CCFL tube is in the paper scanning part of the fax
