why does nonone use fluoresent lamps for backlights?
tons to thought and energy have gone into DIY construction of back lights. And it seems to me under certain conditions standard fluorescent lamps may be an ideal solution. some brainstormed ideas:
4" fluorescent lamps can be inexpensive when compared to high intensity LED banks combined with diffusers.
using an array prevents the need for a fancy diffuser at all.
Fluorescent bulbs are available in any temperature from 4000-10,000 easily and anywhere in between. probably out of this range too if desired.
power consumption must not be a factor in the design.
why arent these used more often compared to LED banks?
