The application areas were in outdoor lighting as well as in indoor lighting, where lamp replacement is very expensive or dangerous. However, because of new improvements (smaller size, price reduction) and their shape, the light is easier to control than in the case of linear fluorescent tube hence offering more freedom in the luminaire design, thus they can sometimes be preferred to the latter. Therefore, they are now found in more conventional applications, such as stores and libraries where low maintenance is a benefit.
Fitting-based induction lamps cannot be used as direct replacement of standard tungsten lamps. For direct replacement, see Self-ballasted induction lamps.
