Fluorescent light bulb refers to a bulb which is energy efficient, using 20-40% less electricity than standard incandescent bulbs, lasting up to 20 times longer. Many new compact styles make fluorescent bulbs practical for task lighting. Screw-in types can be used in place of incandescent bulbs in standard lamp sockets.

Fluorescent light bulbs are commonly used in desk lamps, floor lamps, undercabinet lamps, table lamps, linear strips, wall sconces, flush mounts, chandeliers, close-to-ceiling mounts, pendants, ceiling clouds, kitchen island lights, path lights, outdoor wall lanterns and outdoor post lanterns.
