在美国，各种紧凑型荧光灯及其配套镇流器的生产与应用正得以迅猛发展。由于它具有长于传统白炽灯１０倍的寿命，而得到各能源促进组织与制造商们的倡导。然而，目前仅有少量数据可以用来实质性地验证这些产品的远期性能。此外，采用标准的３小时开／２０分钟关的开／关周期寿试方法，需耗费数月之久，所得结果却未必能完整地代表产品实际使用时的性能情况。本文作者在此提供了几种紧凑型荧光灯在不同开／关周期寿试中得到的一些初步数据，同时还论述了快速开／关试验的改进方法。 In the United States, the production and application of various compact fluorescent lamps and their associated ballasts are rapidly evolving. Because of its 10 times longer lifespan than traditional incandescent bulbs, it is championed by energy promotion organizations and manufacturers. However, there is currently only a small amount of data that can be used to substantially verify the long-term performance of these products. In addition, the typical 3-hour on / off cycle test method, which takes 3 hours on / 20 minutes off, takes months and may not give a complete representation of the performance of the product when it is actually used. Here, the authors provide some preliminary data on several turn-on / off cycles of CFLs, as well as the improved methods for rapid turn-on / turn-off tests.
