Abstract
A study was conducted to compare solar lanterns using two-pin compact fluor escent lamps (CFLs) with those using four-pin CFLs with regard to electrica l efficiency, cost and reliability. Results show that the efficiency and re liability of the two are almost the same, but the cost of the four-pin CFL version is more. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
