Abstract

The electrical and optical characteristics of the cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) were measured and investigated under the wide ambient temperatures ranging from $-30^{\circ}C$ up to $+100^{\circ}C$. The highest luminous efficiency of the CCFL of 55 lm/W was obtained at the ambient temperature of $50^{\circ}C$.
