These other - worldly cold cathode fluorescent fixture light bulb are in some ways even better than CFL ( succinct fluorescent fixture ) bulbs , because they ’re well dimmable and operate at room temperature . They have highly long life story , are wet - rat for out-of-door use and can be used as wink lights in trashy entrepot display , too . Plus , they save lots of energy because of their lower wattage and nonexistent hotness end product .
Smart , but the only trouble with them so far is that they ’re not too brilliant . This cold cathode fluorescent fixture ( CCF ) technology is excellent for computer case mods and backlights for flavorless - panel displays , but just promising enough to use as lamps . For instance , a 5 - W lamp , one of the brightest 1 available , can only put out the combining weight of a 20- to 25 - watt incandescent bulb . But this nascent technology is destined to improve in short order .
