I'm totally confused about the abbreviations. Can anyone point me towards a dictionary of terms relating to lighting and globes, so I could find what GSL, CIR, E27, G9 and all those other @$!& codes mean ??

Chris GLS means general lighting source. It is a way to describe the older style of lamps. CFL is compact fluoro lamp E27, B22, G9, GU10 etc are different typs of bases. CRI is Colour Rerndering Index and describes the colour of the lamp. Hope this helps. |
