In an average February, Rome has four days that dip below 32 degrees F; the average high is 56, and the average is 40. Paris averages 12 days each February below 32 degrees F; the average high is 45 and the average low is 34. Only you know what constitutes weather that is too cold to enjoy.
A fluorescent lamp or a fluorescent tube is a low pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light. An electric current in the gas excites mercury vapor which produces short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb to glow.
Sorry to hear that! However, my column was about LED lights, not compact fluorescent light bulbs. Compact flourescents are basically curlicue tubes filled with gas that lights up. LED bulbs use tiny light-emitting diodes, of the type you have seen in some flashlights and the âflashesâ of smartphones.
