With a life span that is twelve times longer than the ordinary bulb, a fluorescent tube can last up to 12 thousand hours, and runs on a much lower consumption of electrical supply. It is because of this and its environmentally friendly low-energy consumption that this category of lamp has seen an upsurge in demand in recent years.

High luminous efficacy with low power consumption and a prolonged life, these lights are suitable for any indoor lighting system. In businesses such as restaurants, retailing and other public areas, the cost of replacing burnt out lamps is often very high and causes great inconvenience. This is especially true when lamps are to be found in inaccessible areas, or in spaces of constant use. Thus the advent of fluorescents has been very appealing to all industries that share such concerns, and hence sales of these kinds of lamps continue to grow. Platino is proud of its range of high quality fluorescents. Their range of tubes comes in many sizes and colour temperatures.
