A compact fluorescent lamps life is hardly affected by switching it on and off. The current standards for 'Energy Saving Recommended' accreditation requires over 3,000 switching cycles per 8,000 HOURS of TESTED life which is more than sufficient for normal domestic use. In ENVIRONMENTS where lamps are switched frequently and are burning for less than 1 hour on average, we recommend a halogen energy SAVER or a “heavy duty” Cfli (e.g. Cfli Long life). Especially in restrooms where the light is switched off again every few MINUTES, the use of a halogen energy saver is highly recommended.
