Common have performance similar to traditional fluorescent lamps, but types of retrofit luminaires are those for recessed housings, for many of them the total light output is substantially lower, 2′ × 2′ or 2′ × 4′ recessed troffers, high-bay luminaires, track and the spatial distribution of light is far more concentrated than that of the conventional fluorescent lamps.
