Option 4 : No stroboscopic effect

Fluorescent lamps:

  • A fluorescent lamp is a low-pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light. 
  • The typical luminous efficiency of fluorescent lighting systems is 50–100 lumens per watt.
     

Advantages of fluorescent lamps:

  • More energy efficient than incandescent lamps
  • Longer operational lifespan
  • Better light diffusions and distribution
  • Low running cost
  • Less heat emission
     

The stroboscopic effect in a fluorescent lamp is a phenomenon that causes running or moving equipment to appear stationary or appear to be operating slower than they actually are. Fluorescent lamps are provided with a 50 Hz ac current supply.

Therefore, no stroboscopic effect is not a valid advantage of fluorescent lamps.
