    Peter Cooper Hewitt invented the first fluorescent lamp in the late 1890s, though it was Edmund Germer, Friedrich Meyer, and Hans Spanner who patented an improved high pressure vapor lamp in 1927. George Inman later partnered with General Electric to create a practical fluorescent lamp that was sold beginning in 1938. The modern CFL was invented by Edward Hammer at General Electric in response to the 1973 oil crisis, though high production costs prevented its adoption at the time. New phosphors then allowed for fluorescent lamps that could directly replace incandescent bulbs.

    History

    The parent to the modern fluorescent lamp was invented in


    the late 1890s by Peter Cooper Hewitt .The Cooper Hewitt
    lamps were used for photographic studios and industries.
    Edmund Germer, Friedrich Meyer, and Hans Spanner then
    patented a high pressure vapor lamp in 1927.Gorge Inman
    later teamed with General electric to create a practical
    fluorescent lamp, sold in 1938 and patented in 1941.Circular
    and U-shaped lamps were devised to reduce the length of
    Fluorescent light fixtures.
    The modern CFL was invented by Edward E. Hammer .an
    engineer with general Electric, in response to the 1973 oil
    crisis .While it met its design goals .it would have cost GE
    about US$25 million to build new factories to produce them
    and then invention was shelved .The design was eventually
    leaked out and copied by others .CFL has steadily increased
    in sales volume .Development of fluorescent lamps that
    could fit in the same volume as comparable incandescent
    lamps required the development of new ,high-efficiency
    phosphors that could withstand more power per unit area
    than the phosphors used with older ,larger lamps
