The E-COOL Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL)
![[Logo]](img/pic_01.png)
E-COOL is a next-generation lighting source that utilizes the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) used in LCD televisions, monitors, and notebook PCs. E-COOL delivers energy savings equivalent or superior to LED lighting at a lower start-up cost and offers approximately 40% lower electricity charges and CO2 emissions than fluorescent tubes. We recommend this innovative power-saving, cost-saving next-generation lighting source to businesses seeking to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions.
Next-Generation Lighting that Combines Energy Savings and Economy
- Economy: Annual electricity cost cut by around 40% compared to conventional light (same as LEDs)
- Environment-friendly: Annual CO2 emissions cut by approx. 40%
- Reliability: Rated lifespan of around 40,000 hours (same as LEDs)
Lighting Comparison
| 40W Type | Fluorescent Lamp | LED | E-COOL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power consumption | 45W | 27W | 27W |
| Annual electricity cost | ¥594,000 | ¥356,400 | ¥356,400 |
| Annual CO2 emissions | 14.985kg | 8.991kg | 8.991kg |
| Product lifespan | 6,000–12,000 hours | 40,000+ hours | 40,000+ hours |
- *Configuration: Comparison made with brightness equivalent to two 40W bulbs x 100 units
- *Annual illumination: 3,000 hours; Power cost: ¥22/kWh; CO2 emission coefficient: 0.555kg-CO2/kWh
The difference between fluorescent lamps and CCFLs is the electrode structure.
Fluorescent lamps and CCFLs have similar but differing structures. A fluorescent lamps emit electrons from the emissive material, or emitter, by heating the electrodes, while CCFLs emit electrons without heating the electrodes. This difference in the emission method results in superior energy savings and lower costs from CCFLs.
