Lighting Requirements & Long-Term Benefits:

• The Bulb: A GU24-base which is very common bulb-ballast combination. This will ensure that your ballast can always be replaced in future years. (Linear lamps also have similar requirements)
  
• Color Rendition must be at least 80: Incandescent light bulbs have a CRI of 100, it has only been within the last couple of years that CFLs have reached a higher CRI measurement. In the past they were more in the 50-60s.
  
• Electronic Ballast: Your ballast will not hum and the bulb will light up without flickering.
  
• Energy Efficiency: All ES lighting fixtures need to be energy efficient when measured against traditional fixtures.
