COMPACT FLUORESCENT

BRIEF NOTATION REGARDING PAR-P Series:  Many have tried to duplicate our technology without much success. Please do not make the mistake in comparing our technology with others of similar nature. We were the first to introduce the Super CFL line of products and continue to invest in the evolution of this technology.   Our products have been designed in generation based sequence therefore today's products are further enhanced in a proprietary nature then others of its kind.  Turolight inc. is the sole distributor for this product.

While normally the simple reason for purchasing our Compact Fluorescent bulbs is of course, the energy savings – we have found that alternative manufacturers use halogen powder within their tubing thus producing a fake compact fluorescent bulb (CFL). This helps them to decrease the overall price of the bulb and that, in turn, has a side effect that decreases the life, colour rendering and efficiency of the bulb.

Leading edge products; we at Turolight have studied, designed, manufactured and imported many new innovative products over the last few years and intend to further our research and development into the future. These advancements allow us to introduce and distribute new super CFL products that provide lumens output of over 75 lumens per watt. A standard CFL would provide closer to 55 lumens. As a side note, we at Turolight have never provided lower then 60 lumens per watt since the day we first introduced out ground breaking mini spiral CFL’s.

Components; many of the low-end CFL’s found in today’s consumer market contain sub-standard electronic components such as capacitors and triodes, most are assembled with minimal QC (Quality Control) procedures.  Low-end CFL’s are made of ABS (a thermal plastic resin) where higher end products are made with PBT or PC  thermal plastic resins that are substantially more resistant to high temperature levels.
 
Advanced Quality Control (QC); ICQ to IPQC to OQC. ICQ starts with the inspection process which encompasses all the raw materials and parts that are needed to produce a CFL. IPQC is performed during production to monitor the assembly and manufacturing process. Finished CFL’s then undergo OQC for power, current, voltage and power factor which are all subject to age testing.  Colour Testing; Spectrum analyzing systems are deployed to verify colour rendering and insure the colour is rendered as per ordered. As you can see the process is comprehensive and detailed to say the least.

CFL Expectations; low end CFL bulbs can last up to 2500 hours – mid-range bulbs can last from 2500 to 5000hrs – and finally high end bulbs can range 5000 to 10,000hrs and some even 15,000 hours. The price for high end CFL’s are substantially greater then their low-end counterparts given that the product is designed to last and provide as much lumens (light output) as possible for the duration of its life.

Into the near future we believe that despite the flood of fake or low-end CFL’s which are limiting sales to quality-conscious markets – our efforts in educating and stepping up efforts to offset the negative effects of these low quality products will ultimately prevail. By producing new product lines and providing top notch customer service we will remain one of North America’s leading manufacturer/distributors of mid to high end light bulbs.

Please look forward to our next innovation coming soon.  Click here to see our current product lines.
