Hi everyone,
I would like to use fluorescent tubes in some kind of furnace. Can you tell me what happens to these lamps being used in an ambient temperature of 80 to 100 °C?
What happens to light output and lifespan? Will it be possible at all?
Kind regards
Tom
I recommend using incandescent if you need it to withstand high temperatures --- lightbulbs are much hotter than that inside.
Another choice is to use a light pipe to bring light in from whatever source floats your boat. Glass fibers and pipes will easily handle the temperatures you mention.
