Maintenance Engineering Lighting Product Tip “Did You Know?”

Maintenance Engineering Lighting Product Tip “Did You Know?”Leave a CommentDid you know that storing fluorescent lamps on end can lead to hard starting and poor initial performance. Mercury inside the tube can “fall” to the lower end of the lamp during storage. By not having mercury evenly distributed throughout the lamp, the lamp can take longer to start and come up to full brightness.

Fluorescent lamps should always be stored horizontally.
