Daylight luminaires are the most efficient lighting fixture to date. In such luminaires, fluorescent lamps of various standard sizes and designs are used, and independent connection of these lamps does not cause any particular difficulties.

Instructions

Step 1

The easiest way is to connect an energy-saving fluorescent lamp, which has a standard E14 ("minion") or E27 (normal) base. It simply screws into the socket instead of the usual incandescent lamp. The situation is somewhat more complicated with tube lamps.

Step 2

To connect a fluorescent lamp using both electromagnetic and electronic ballasts, you will need sockets (lamp holders), holders for starters, starter, choke (electromagnetic ballast), wires and a conventional wiring tool. Holders for fluorescent tube lamps are rigidly mounted and "hinged"; in the second case, special clips-lamp holders will be required to fix the lamp.

Step 3

The connection diagram (called a starter) of a fluorescent lamp with an electromagnetic ballast is always indicated on the choke. When using this circuit, the EMPRA is connected in series with the lamp, serving as a limiter for the growth of current in it and a kind of "fuse" against burnout of the lamp. It should be borne in mind that the power of the choke must correspond to the power of the fluorescent lamp used.

Step 4

The usual wiring diagram looks like this: the phase mains wire is connected to one of the choke contacts. The second contact of the choke is connected to one of the contacts of one coil of the lamp; the second contact of this spiral goes to one of the starter contacts. The second contact of the starter is connected to one of the contacts of the second spiral of the lamp, the remaining free contact is connected to the second mains wire (zero).

Step 5

A similar standard switching circuit ("tandem") is used when connecting two lamps. In this case, they are included sequentially; the choke power must correspond to the total power of both fluorescent lamps used.
