Kerosene lamps give polluted air that gives health problem.
Glow bulb lamps lose a lot of energy producing heat.
Led lighting is not as energy efficient as fluorescent bulbs and tubes.
Energy saving fluorescent bulb lamps have a short life and can not handle vibrations and are expense.
Standard fluorescent tubes have a long life and are energy efficient.
The ballast of the fluorescent bulbs and tubes have a thiristor in the electronic ballast.
This thyristor spoils a lot of energy producing heat.
The outend of the fluorescent lamp haves two filamento coils.
These coils spoils a lot of energy producing heat.
Heat attracts and scorch incecs.
This polluted the light source
The ballast of a CCFL lamp have two transistors instead of a thiristor These trancistors does not heat a match up.
The CCFL tube lamp haves cold cathodes instead of filamento coils.
Cold cathodes out ends does not heat up.
This make the CCFL lamp very use full to use in poor areas.
It is imported to create a lamp cap with the following benefits:
-Energy efficient
-Protected against falling from heights
-Protected against vibrations. -Protected against impressions.
-Water and incest tight .
-Acceptable design.
-Easy to adjust in a direction.
-Cheap cost.
-Can work on low plus and min (DC) voltage

CCFL lamp and ballast out of a old document scanner
A ballast is the same as an Inverter WARNING the CCFL ballast haves dangerous high voltage output
Because the CCFL does not heat up like a TL lamp, the CCFL uses les energie than the TL lamp.
You can use a CCFL and electronic ballast out of a old SCSI document scanner.
Not al scanner have CCFL technology the new one have led technologie and very old black and wite fax have led technology
Take off the cover
Unscrew the CCFL ballast related electronic print
Take careful out the CCFL tube lamp.
Make a draw of the electronic scema.
Some times you find a print with the CCFL ballast electronic and some scanning electronic.
You have to seperate the scanning electronic parts.
Cut of the CCFL ballast unrelated electronic.
This is the back of the ballast related print part.
Cut of the CCFL ballast unrelated electronic.
This is the front of the ballast related print part.
Make it 30 mm wide.
Now it have the right shape to use this ballast in the CCFL lamp cap.
If you are lucky you find in some scanners a seperated balast print.
It is possible to use a CCFL ballast in combination with a normal fluorescent tube lamp.
CCFL lamp and ballast out of a fax machine
It is possible to use a CCFL and electronic ballast out of a old fax machine.
Some fax machine have a colored CCFL tube.
Some colored CCFL tubefax it is possible to take the colored film off.
Some colored CCFL tubefax have colored glas, than the tube is useles for the lamp cap.
The CCFL tube is in the paper scanning part of the fax.
CCFL ballast is conected with the CCFL tube.
Not al fax machine have CCFL technology New fax and the verry old fax have led technology
