Cold cathode technology is relatively new in screwbase lighting, offering exceptional lamp life. It is suitable for use in rapid cycling applications, in which the bulb will be turned on and off frequently (e.g. flashing signs) or on dimming circuits. TCP uses non-leaded class in this bulb to help preserve lumen maintenance, and a special cathode mounting process and low volt starting method to help maximize the bulb life. This bulb uses 5 watts of electricity, making it a suitable replacement for a 20-25 watt incandescent light bulb. This model has a semi-frosted glass, meaning the fluorescent coils will be visible inside the bulb.
