Since Thomas Edison invented the
incandescent lamp in 1879,
numerous developments have
emerged to enhance lighting
technology. Today, fluorescent
lamps are the preferred light
source for industrial and domestic
applications. To produce more
light with less energy, modern
electronic light sources must deliver
high luminous efficacy, energy
savings and cost reductions. In
addition, they must meet increas-
ing demands for miniaturization.
EPCOS provides film capacitors for
a wide range of lighting applica-
tions. Backed by decades of expe-
rience in designing, producing
and marketing film capacitors
