QL lamp

A QL lamp (Quantum Light Lamp) is a type of compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) , often referred to as a multi-tube lamp or energy-efficient lamp . The term QL is often associated with a specific type of energy-efficient fluorescent lamp , primarily used in commercial and industrial lighting.

Features of a QL lamp:

  1. Energy efficient :

    • Like other energy-efficient fluorescent lamps , the QL lamp offers higher efficiency than traditional incandescent bulbs because it uses less energy for the same light output.
    • They can use up to 80% less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs.
  2. Longer lifespan :

    • QL lamps typically have a long lifespan of 10,000 to 20,000 hours, depending on the quality and brand. This makes them an excellent choice for commercial and industrial applications where continuous light is required.
  3. Light output and color :

    • They offer a high light output relative to their power, meaning they can be brighter using less energy.
    • They are often available in different light colours (warm white, cool white, etc.), depending on the specific application.
  4. Usage :

    • QL lamps are often used in lighting offices , retail spaces , showrooms , schools , and industrial environments . They can also be used in traffic lighting and for other applications where durable and long-lasting lighting is required.

Difference with other fluorescent lamps:

While QL lamps are technically compact fluorescent lamps, the term "QL" can also refer specifically to a particular brand or type of lamp distinguished by better light quality , faster start-up time , or extra-long lifespan . They often use an integrated electronic ballast , which provides a faster start-up time and less flicker compared to older, conventional fluorescent lamps.

In summary :

QL lamps are a type of energy-efficient fluorescent lamp specifically designed for long-lasting, efficient lighting. They are suitable for both commercial and industrial applications, offering advantages such as long life and energy efficiency .
