Fluorescent lighting is used to illuminate decks, workshops, production facilities, passageways, tunnels as well as home and service areas. The main advantage of fluorescent lamps compared to incandescent lamps is that they provide more luminous flux with less energy consumption. In addition, almost all lighting models can be equipped with an emergency bulb socket. However, there are disadvantages as well as advantages. Fluorescent lamps are larger in size, have a more complex structure and the lamps themselves require more delicate handling. Moreover, the disposal of these lamps creates additional difficulties. Despite this, fluorescent lighting is in great demand due to their reliability, efficiency and higher light output (compared to incandescent lamps). Fluorescent lighting also comes in a variety of designs to suit different needs.

When choosing lighting, it is important to know the specifics of the area where the lighting will be used, as all equipment has different degrees of dust and water protection. Below are a few of the most commonly encountered degrees of protection (IP) in lighting fixtures:

- IP20: For use in dry and heated environment.
- IP21/IP22: For use in a non-heated environment.
- IP23: For use in a non-heated environment or outdoors under an awning.
- IP43/IP44: For outdoor lighting, the lighting structure is protected to prevent the ingress of small solid particles, raindrops and splashes.
- IP50: For use in dusty environments.
- IP54: For splash-proof lighting in humid environments.
- IP55: For lighting with protection against water jets in high humidity environments.
- IP60: Similar to IP50 but more protected against dust.
- IP65/IP66: For lighting protected against water jets in dusty and humid environments.
- IP67/IP68: For lighting used in dusty environments with a water immersion resistant structure.

Another criterion to consider when choosing lighting is the installation method. The types of lighting according to the installation method are as follows:

- Pendant/ceiling mounted lighting;
- Wall mounted lighting;
- Recessed lighting;
- Table top lighting.

Lighting used on ships may also differ according to the hull material. The housing material of the lighting affects the characteristics of the lighting's use. Commonly used body materials are:

- Plastic;
- Steel;
- Stainless steel;
- Aluminum;
- Brass.

Lighting for production facilities
The ZYC28-2E and ZYC48-2E lights have an IP67 degree of protection and are designed to withstand high atmospheric exposure (splashes, vapors, high humidity). The lighting body is made of steel and coated with polyester enamel, while the diffuser is made of transparent polycarbonate. The reflector is made of galvanized steel coated with enamel. Gaskets for cable entry are located at the ends of the lighting. Unlike most models, there are no external mounting clamps - the mounting holes are located in the housing. In the central part of the lighting there is a socket type B15d for connecting the emergency lamp. The starting and control device of the lighting is the traditional shock inductor type, the sockets for the lamps are of type G13.
