Cold cathode lamps have been used for years in laptop displays, copiers and cell phones. Even some of the new flat panel LCD television screens and monitors utilize cold cathode technology because the technology is proven and reliable.
Recently, the technology has been adapted and applied to general illumination products that have an average life rating of 25,000 hours and are dimmable. These energy saving lamps replace higher wattage incandescent lamps making them ideal for applications where reduced maintenance and energy costs are desired.
The soft starting of the cathodes ensures long lamp life and unparalleled performance under difficult ambient conditions.

Operating Characteristics
Dimming
Dimmable cold cathode compact fluorescent lamps
Should only be used on modern analog dimmers.
They will not work on digital dimming systems, which although uncommon,
may still be found in certain new commercial installations.
Unlike their incandescent counterparts, Cold Cathode lamps will not dim to
0%. This can be attributed to the differences in the lamp designs and
technologies.
Cold cathode lamps have a dimming range of 100% - 30%. Depending on
the brand and type of dimmer used, you may experience flickering or
Shutdown with cold cathode lamps when dimmed below 30% of the lamps
Power.
Environment
The 3W, 5W, and 8W Cold Cathode lamps are suitable to use indoors or
outdoors. The 13W and 18W CC lamps are for indoor use only.
The ideal ambient operating temperature for the Cold cathode lamps is 77
degrees F.
These lamps will operate in ambient temperatures between 5 degrees F
and 122 degrees F.
