Thermogram of an energy efficient light bulb

Thermogram of an energy efficient fluorescent light. These lights use less energy than incandescent lights and operate at a cooler temperature. The different colors represent different temperatures on the object. The lightest colors are the hottest temperatures, while the darker colors represent a cooler temperature. Thermography uses special cameras that can detect light in the far-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (900–14,000 nanometers or 0.9–14 µm) and creates an image of the objects temperature.
