傳統熒光燈（CFL）的長期風險

由於傳統熒光燈較大的電力消耗問題，例如電力使用量較 LED照明損耗較多、產生環境污染問題等等。

我們應該理解傳統熒光燈（CFL）的長期風險，從而明白LED照明是長期最安全及最環保的照明設備。除了在戶外區域照明及外牆照明，LED照明產品應該是最能降低電力消耗的一個最佳方法，從而降低建築照明設計，辦公照明，工業照明，室內設計照明，醫院，展覽會，教育，照明工程廣告。

傳統熒光燈的缺點

汞(Mercury) – 普通傳統熒光燈含有小於4毫克汞。但是如果你知道汞是液態的，那麼當照明燈具是熱的時候，汞是氣態或產生蒸汽的毒性很大。它可能危害我們的健康，例如腦損傷，中樞神經系統損害醫療條件。 傳統的熒光燈(CFL)包含金屬，玻璃和少量汞的材料。所以，請避免打破熒光燈管非常重要。請勿將熒光燈管放置在垃圾壓實機中，因為這樣會釋放汞並污染周圍地區。

在香港，環境保護署（“Environmental Protection Department”）已下令廢物處理人員將熒光燈視為危險物品，“電燈及光管回收計劃”（“Fluorescent Lamp Recycling Programme”），化學廢物處理承辦商送往在特殊條件下打破燈具的回收中心。

破損(Breakage) - 更重要的是形成熒光燈。打破玻璃會導致彈片損傷和汞等化合物的釋放。不幸的是，如果處理破損的燈具，請穿戴手套和醫用面罩等防護裝備，以保護自己。兒童不應接近熒光燈破損區域，即時打開窗戶超過15分鐘，以使蒸氣分散。請使用膠帶拿起小玻璃片，用濕紙巾清理該區域，並處理材料。

紫外線(Ultraviolet Light) - 短波紫外線燈損壞曬傷的太陽光線的部件，損害我們的人體健康。當身體感覺到紫外線損傷時，會將黑色素發送到周圍的細胞，並嘗試保護它們免受更多的傷害。

Traditional fluorescent lamps are now being aggressive due to the problems of electricity consumption.

We are supposed to understanding the risks of Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) can help disposed of safely while we are explaining LED lighting is the safest and most eco-friendly lighting choice in the long run. As well as changing the scene or façade lighting in, outdoor area, LED lighting should be a great way to reduce energy consumption and therefore keep costs down in the architectural lighting design, office lighting, industrial lighting, interior design lighting, hospital, exhibition, education, advertising in lighting project.

The disadvantage for traditional fluorescent lamps

Mercury – It was less than 4 milligrams of mercury. But if you know that mercury is in liquid form, when the lamp is hot mercury is in gaseous or vapor extremely toxic. It can risk our health such as brain damage, central nervous system damage medical conditions. CFL contains materials including metal, glass and a tiny amount of mercury. So, please be very important to avoid breaking fluorescent lamps. Please don’t place fluorescent lamps in trash compactors, since this will release the mercury and contaminate for the surrounding area.

In the Hong Kong, Environmental Protection Department(EPD) has ordered waste handlers to treat fluorescent lamps as hazardous, the programme “Fluorescent Lamp Recycling” (慳電膽及光管回收計劃), the contractor of the Chemical Waste Treatment to arranged to be sent to recycling centers that break the lamps under special conditions.

Breakage - more important create form the fluorescent lamps. Breaking the glass can cause shrapnel injuries and release of mercury and other compounds. Unfortunately, if you handle broken lamps please wear protective equipment such as hand gloves and medical face mask to protect yourself. Kinds should stay away from the breakage area, opened windows for more than 15 minutes so that vapors may disperse. Please use sticky tape to pick up small glass pieces, clean up the area with a damp paper towel, and dispose of the materials.

Ultraviolet Light - Short-wave UV light damaging components of the suns rays that reach the sunburn, it was damage our human health. When the body senses ultraviolet light damage, it sends melanin into surrounding cells and tries to protect them from sustaining more damage.
