Going back to the 90’s they were around and did save energy but did have their technical problems. One of the main issues with the uorescent tube was the icker and the dependency on good electronic integration with the starter. There were certainly many tubes that used to just icker the whole time, become a nuisance and just end up being turned off. These days the technology has advanced considerably and often have integral starters especially in the CFL types which make far easier electrical installations as no external starter of high frequency control gear is needed. The 2D compact version of the CFL ( compact uorescent lamp) is also extremely popular these days. The main uses of the 2D compact are within commercial applications where is is necessary to have a bright but compact lamp that will t into a light tting which can either be ceiling or wall mounted.
