heal.abstract	The paper presents a comprehensive analysis dealing with the behaviour and economics of electronic compact fluorescent lamps. The economic analysis, based on the results of the test concerning the lifetime and the lamp lumen maintenance factor of electronic compact fluorescent lamps, and conducted using the cost-discount method, showed an obvious advantage for lamps of this type compared with incandescent ones. The strategic importance of the mass use of electronic compact fluorescent lamps, as well as serious power quality implications it can cause to the network, are explained in detail. Possible solutions of this problem are also presented.	en
