Unlike incandescent bulbs which produce heat-driven light via a filament, fluorescent industrial lights use electricity to produce mercury vapor in the form of neon or argon gas. What is produced is short-wave, ultraviolet light. Fluorescent bulbs are typically used in industrial or commercial settings since they are 10 to 20 percent more efficient than many other bulbs and offer equivalent light production. Industrial fluorescent lights have come a long way since their introduction in the mid 1800s, and finding the right industrial fluorescent lighting and industrial outdoor lighting can be easy -- on you and your budget.

Find industrial fluorescent lighting advantages offered by:

1. Recognizable brand names for industrial fluorescent lights;

2. Eco-friendly options for industrial fluorescent lighting; and

3. Discount suppliers of industrial outdoor lighting and industrial fluorescent lighting.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Turn to trusted names for industrial lighting products


If you know what you need, go to lighting experts for your application-specific fluorescent lighting. Since lighting experts specialize in producing lights, they typically offer specialty products and innovative breakthroughs that distributors do not. Their customer service staff are experts on their products so you can count on solid information should you have any questions about their industrial light bulbs.

I recommend: Both GE and Grainger offer product specs and prices on traditional and highly specialized industrial lighting products.

Consider going green with industrial fluorescent lights and see additional savings


Just about all brand names offer "green" or environmentally-friendly options these days. Not only do green bulbs put less stress on the environment, but installing green bulbs can also pad your pocket book by offering up to 60% in savings on your energy bills.

I recommend: Energy Wise Lighting, Inc., features green bulbs and bulbs that have a life of over 30,000 hours. Dazor also offers full-spectrum fluorescent bulbs.

Order industrial lights in bulk for the lowest price


Buying direct and online from factories cuts out the middle man and can save you lots, especially if you buy in bulk. Many of the discount lighting manufacturers offer live web chat, 24-hour-a-day ordering and a very large selection of products.

I recommend: Lighting on the Net offers discounted fluorescent bulbs flat-rate shipping on all orders. LightMart.com, a 10-year veteran of the lighting industry, offers factory-direct products assembled domestically.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Commercial industrial lights often contain mercury or poly chlorinated biphenyls which are both considered to be hazardous waste. Mercury-containing waste is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency and your local utility office should have resources for proper disposal. Avoid buying fluorescent bulbs with ballasts that contain poly chlorinated biphenyls -- or PCBs. Production of PCBs were banned from the United States in the late 1970s, but PCBs occasionally make their way into the U.S. from overseas companies. Look for bulbs specifically labeled "No PCBs."
