Sometimes there are harsh or difficult environments where you need to have a
better light bulb. There are many production plants, manufacturing
facilities that have machines that cause a lot of vibration and hum to the
entire building. As a result, standard bulbs don't last that long making
them useless in this application. The voltage surges, the constant
movement deteriorates a hot filament very quickly, that's why vibration service light bulbs were developed. Common to
almost every type of lighting application has been the standard vibration or
rough service bulbs. These are the standard size bulbs which you might
be familiar with, the ones you've probably bought for years in hardware stores.
You might also know them as household bulbs but with an improvement of
greater construction. These are really different than standard bulbs and
you can see it in a clear version where the filament supports and thicker
filament can be seen. Of course, the manufacturing plant isn't the only
application where vibration service bulbs are used. People use them
in their homes where slamming doors, trouble lights or general traffic can make your lighting
vulnerable to failure. You'll find that in a home lighting situation, that
these bulbs can last for years and that makes them a real money saver, not to
mention no longer having to change bulbs in a hard to reach light fixture.
Sometimes, vibration service bulbs are called long life bulbs
and these typically have a life of 10,000 hours or more. They've been a
regular use item for large buildings, hotels and apartment complexes.
Although they are a long life, they are not very energy efficient, so many of
these types of facilities have gone to a compact fluorescent fixture or retrofit
to save energy and still get long life. That's always an option in
replacing these less efficient bulb types. As stated, if you're a commercial user, then
vibration service light bulbs would be the
best choice for many of the applications you have today if you're not looking to
make the added investment in compact fluorescent. If you have
incandescent lamps anywhere in your large building, they can be susceptible to
something as incidental as slamming doors, elevators or moving companies and general
traffic in common areas. Even if you don't have problems, who wants
to be changing bulbs so often? These areas have a lot of vibration and so
this lamp is an excellent choice to make your job easier and to save money over
the long haul.
There's never been a time when the selection of vibration service light bulbs has
been greater than it has now. So you can get the longer life without
having to sacrifice the look of your fixtures. It doesn't matter whether you
