2. 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 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.

6. 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.

8. 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.
9. 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.
