PARTS OF FLUORESCENT LAMP
FLUORESCENT LAMP
A fluorescent lamp is a low weight
mercury vapour lamp that uses fluorescence to
deliver visible light. An electric current in the gas
energizes mercury vapor which delivers ultraviolet
radiation through discharge process and the
ultraviolet radiation causes the phosphor coating of
the lamp inner wall to radiate visible light.

PARTS OF FLUORESCENT LAMP AND ITS FUNCTION
FLUORESCENT TUBE – is a circular bulb
containing mercury vapor and inert gas with
phosphor coating inside.
PARTS OF FLUORESCENT LAMP AND ITS FUNCTION

BALLAST- is an induction coil, which produces

high voltage to start the lamp into operation. It
also limits the flow of current during the
operation of the lamp. Ballast consumes power,
which is between 10-20% of power consumed by
the lamp itself.
 PARTS OF FLUORESCENT LAMP AND ITS FUNCTION

STARTER – is a glow switch that

opens and closes the circuit so as to
produce a high voltage or inductive
kick across the bulb at the filament
during the starting period.

LAMP HOLDER AND STARTER SOCKET-

Are the point of connection of the fluorescent and
starter.
