BEE Registration for Tubular Fluorescent Lamps

Image
  Tubular Fluorescent Lamps (TFLs) have been a staple in lighting solutions for decades, offering efficient illumination across various settings, including residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. These lamps, characterized by their long, cylindrical shape and fluorescent technology, have been favoured for their energy efficiency and longevity.   The Tubular Fluorescent Lamp operates as a low-pressure mercury-vapour gas-discharge tube designed mainly for visible light production. When an electric current passes through the gas, it stimulates mercury vapour, generating short-wave UV light that activates a phosphor coating lining the lamp's interior, resulting in illumination. Compared to an incandescent lamp, this type of lighting efficiently transforms electrical energy into light.   As the world increasingly prioritizes energy conservation and sustainability, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has introduced regulations and programs to ensure that lighting produc
