First row: Quality of light, Phosphors have a narrow frequency range in comparison to a high spectrum incandescent. Adding phosphors to help the light quality adds cost and loss of efficiency. Second row: Size, C F L's are larger than their incandescent counterparts. They may not fit in the existing light fixtures. Third row: Electronics, Using C F L's with a dimmer can short the shelf life. Fourth row: Heat, Higher luminosity C F L's can get warm. They should not be run with the electronics (ballast) above the tube. Therefore, they cannot be used for pendant or recessed lights. What is the purpose of this table?
