Choose Green Report: Compact Fluorescent Lighting

November/December 1998

Geared toward residential applications, this Green Seal issue arms consumers with everything they need to know to choose a compact fluorescent lamp — and probably more than they want to know about lighting designs and systems. To be fair, the technical information is reader-friendly and accompanied by great graphics. The highly curious will also find loads of statistics and environmental and cost comparisons. Note: All recommended products are to be used with an electronic ballast system (what this is and why it’s preferred is, of course, covered). If you’re in the market for a lamp at work, this report will likely make you the most educated purchaser in your office.
