Genlite Search AB is delighted to introduce you with the colorful history of fluorescent lights. The fluorescent lamps are the low pressurized mercury vapor gas discharged lamps which uses the fluorescence for producing the visible lights. The light is produced by the electric current by the gas that excites the mercury vapor for producing the short-wave ultraviolet light and it causes the phosphor coating inside the bulb so the bulb glows. The fluorescent lamp generally converts the electrical energy into light energy and it is more efficient than the incandescent lamps.

The Fluorescent lights are colorful and it is quirkier than the other bulbs of the modern era as they have a bright future. The Colorful History of Fluorescent Lights gives you all the details how the fluorescent light is developed. In 1850s, Heinrich Geissler created the Geissler Tubes. He is a physicist and German glassblower. Heinrich Geissler filled a glass tube with the different gases for them to get excited by the metal electrodes. Each ends of the electrodes have the light with the bright colors and intricate shapes so it is considered as the both neon and fluorescent lights are the ancestors for the today’s light.

Nikola Tesla in 1893, experimented with the fluorescence. He displaced his experiment in the World’s Fair in the year 1893 at the World’s Fair. During this time Edison dabbled with the fluorescent lights using X-Rays for electrifying the calcium tungstate. In 1894, Daniel McFarlane Moore made the Moore Lamp and the lamp consist of 2-3 meters long glass tube filled with the carbon dioxide and the nitrogen. This gives the pinkish white glow in the lamp, but the light is very expensive as it needs to be operated at very high voltages. Peter Cooper Hewitt in 1901 invented the mercury vapor lamp and it could operate at lower voltages.

This is also similar to the modern day fluorescent lamps. In the world war 2 period, the demand for using the fluorescents increased so the long tube-like fixtures are incorporated into industrial buildings and office for lower operating costs of the fluorescent lamps. The oil crisis in 1973 made many lighting corporations attempts for shrinking fluorescent for the residential use as with lower utility costs, the fluorescent lights could be used in the home. Edward Hammer in1976 created first compact fluorescent or CFL and it is familiar for its spiral shape. Now the CFL is used with more options and comes in many shapes.

Phillips in 1979 invented first electronic ballast for the CFL as they are moderated light bulb options with the turning on and off options. Genlite Search AB Sweden offers variety of efficient florescent lamps which can make your home look amazing.
