Compact Fluorescent Lights

Our range of compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) provides energy-efficient lighting that suits a variety of applications and preferences. PL-S light bulbs are ideal for compact installations, offering efficient and long-lasting illumination in smaller spaces. PL-C light bulbs cater to general lighting applications and are valued for their reliable performance across a broad range of uses. For high-output requirements, PL-T light bulbs are often used in commercial or industrial settings where brighter light is crucial. To achieve broader light distribution, our 2D light bulbs feature a flat, compact design that ensures even lighting, making them popular for fixtures like bulkheads and emergency lighting whilst Spiral/Helix light bulbs are designed to maximise light output while maintaining a minimal size. Order Your Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs Today and Get a Free Delivery on Orders Over £50.

Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs are energy-efficient lighting solutions that use significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent bulbs while providing comparable brightness. These bulbs work by passing an electric current through a tube containing argon and a small amount of mercury vapour, which produces ultraviolet light. The UV light then excites a phosphor coating inside the tube, emitting visible light.

Choosing the Right Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb for Your Needs

Choosing the perfect CFL lamp for your space is easier than you think! It all comes down to brightness, bulb shape, and compatibility with your fixture. CFLs come in a fantastic variety of shapes, from sleek tubular designs to the iconic spiral (or helix) shapes. Need something specific? There are plug-in bases like PL-S, PL-L, PL-C clusters, or PL-T triple-turn (3U) lamps—each tailored for unique applications. At Heathfield LED, we’ve got you covered with a vast selection of CFL options, including standard bayonet, screw-in, and pin-based designs. Whatever your lighting challenge, we’ll help you find the perfect match!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulb, and how does it differ from LED or incandescent bulbs?

CFLs are energy-efficient alternatives to incandescent bulbs, providing similar brightness while using less energy. Unlike LEDs, they rely on a gas discharge process rather than solid-state lighting technology.

How do I choose the right CFL bulb for my fixture?

Consider factors like base type (e.g., bayonet or screw-in), shape (spiral, globe, tubular, etc.), and brightness requirements to ensure compatibility with your fixture.

Are Compact Fluorescent Lights dimmable?

Some CFLs are dimmable, but not all. Check the packaging or product details for compatibility with dimmer switches.

What are the advantages of using CFL bulbs over traditional bulbs?

CFLs last longer and use up to 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs, reducing electricity costs and environmental impact.

Can CFLs be used outdoors?

Yes, but ensure they are placed in fixtures designed for outdoor use to protect them from moisture and temperature extremes.

What should I do if a CFL bulb breaks?

CFLs contain a small amount of mercury, so handle broken bulbs carefully. Ventilate the area, avoid vacuuming, and follow proper disposal guidelines.
