A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent light bulb; some types fit into light fixtures designed for incandescent bulbs. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.
Air flow management of a compact fluorescent lamp fixture is provided to cool the lamps. Lamp chamber ventilation is passive and / or active through the use of vents in the lamp chamber and / or the use of a fan to induce air flow. Ballast housing ventilation is also provided to manage temperatures inside ballast housings associated with lamp chambers of compact fluorescent lamp fixtures.
