More about Compact Fluorescents
Compact Fluorescent Overview
Compact Fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are an efficient and energy saving type of light source. Compared to general-purpose incandescent lamps producing the same amount of light, Compact Fluorescents consume less power and have a longer average life (typically seven to ten times longer). Though the initial cost of CFLs is slightly higher than incandescent bulbs, Compact Fluorescents more than pay for themselves - saving approximately five times the energy compared to equivalent incandescents.
How CFLs Work
The main component in a Compact Fluorescent lamp is the glass tube, which is sealed. The tube contains a small amount of mercury and an inert gas – typically argon in a low pressure environment. The color output is determined by a phosphor powder on the inside of the glass. Finally, the tube has two electrodes, one at each end, which are wired to an electrical circuit.
When you turn the lamp on, electricity flows through the wires/circuit to the two electrodes. The voltage pushes across the electrodes and as a result, electrons bounce through the gas tube from side to side. As electrons and charged atoms migrate around the tube they stimulate the mercury gas. These collisions excite the atoms, bumping electrons up to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to their original energy level, they release light photons.
Cleaning and Disposing of Compact Fluorescents
CFLs and other fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury inside the lamp tubing (some containing more mercury than others). This can complicate the disposal process. When accidents happen, and a fluorescent bulb cracks or breaks, some mercury in gas form is released. As a good practice, the EPA created the following cleaning/disposal steps for safety purposes.
Before Cleanup
- - Remove people and pets from the premise
- - Open a window and turn on a fan to get new air circulating for at least five to ten minutes
- - Turn off the central heating/air-conditioning system (if applicable)
- - Do not use a vacuum in or around the area of the broken glass as it will emit pollutants in the air
Cleanup Items
- - Disposable gloves
- - Sealable jar or bag
- - Something stiff to scoop with
- - Sticky tape
- - Wet wipes or damp paper towel
During Cleanup
- - With gloves on, scoop and dispose of the glass; use sticky tape to pickup glass and powder particles
- - Place glass and powder into the sealable jar or bag
- - Thoroughly clean the area with wet wipes/damp paper towel
- - Place the debris in an outside waste/disposal container where no animals can get to it
- - The next time you regroup in the area, make sure it is well ventilated
