NEO BALL Z_(TM) Series Compact Fluorescent Lamp

摘要

In 1998, Toshiba introduced the NEO BALL Z_(TM) selt-ballasted compact fluorescent lamp on the market as an alternative to 60 W incandescent lamps. It is the most compact lamp of its type in the world, and can be easily attached directly to ordinary incandescent bulb fittings.We have now developed new "3U"- and "4U"-shaped compact bulbs and a new compact circuit driven by a complementary pair type MOSFET. As a result, various types of NEO BALL Z_(TM) fluorescent lamps have been realized as replacements for 40 W and 100 W incandescent lamps.
