Description

  The present invention relates to a size-adjustable fluorescent lamp for mounting a short fluorescent lamp on an existing long fluorescent lamp.

  At present, T8 type fluorescent lamps are commonly used, but they are gradually replacing the brighter T5 type fluorescent lamps, which consume less power than T8 type fluorescent lamps. Thus, since the T5 type fluorescent lamp has excellent illumination efficiency, the power consumption can be reduced as compared with the T8 type fluorescent lamp.

  However, since the T5 type fluorescent lamp having a specific power value (watt) is shorter than the T8 type fluorescent lamp having the same power value, the T5 type fluorescent lamp cannot be directly mounted on the T8 type fluorescent lamp. Therefore, when a T5 type fluorescent lamp is used, since a lamp dedicated to the T5 type fluorescent lamp is required, it is inconvenient to use and uneconomical.
