Abstract :
A review of techniques to control the lamp-wall temperatures of fluorescent lamps in luminaires is presented. Past results show that large increases in efficacy and light output can be obtained (to 25%) if the lamps can be operated at their optimum lamp-wall temperature. Their cost-effectiveness is reviewed in view of the increased energy cost and advances in the technology.<>
