Compact Fluorescentlamps

GE’s compact fluorescentlamps give you more lightand less heat, converting upto 25% of the electricity theyuse into light (incandescentlamps convert just 5% intolight and the remaining 95%into heat). Because they useless energy you pay less foryour lighting. They also lastup to ten times as long asincandescent lamps, so you spend less on maintenance.

Whilst you save on cost withGE compact fluorescents, you lose nothing in quality.Colours are reproducedaccurately and flicker-freelight output is maintained forthe whole of the lamp’s life.

Energy-savingcompact fluorescents

cut the cost ofproviding constant

light in public access areas

The following glossary of terms and descriptions can help you when checking compactfluorescent lamp specifications and explains how to use the order codes when orderingproducts. Within each product line, lamps are divided into families - within families,lamps are listed by wattage.

Product identification

CCT °K:Colour temperature - DegreesKelvin. The visual warmth orcoolness of the light. The higherthe number the whiter or coolerthe light appears

Lamp: Lamp description followed bybase description

Rated Average Life:The point in time when 50%of all installed lamps are stillburning

Initial Lumens: Light output after the initial 100hours of operation

Pack Quantity: The number of lamps in one box

Product Code: It is important to use this code whenordering to ensure that you receive theexact product you require

Watts:Energy used. To find actual energy used(kWh) multiply power (watts shown) xtime divided by 1000

Product Description: The lamp’s identification code

Rapid start and flicker-freeoperation.Wide range of compactfluorescent lamps withamalgam.GE offers amalgam not only inits traditional CFL range, butalso for unique products suchas 2D lamps.Light output independentof orientation.GE’s CFLs offer the same lightoutput in any burningposition, letting theapplication - not the lamp -dictate the format and designof luminaires.

Still produces 90% ofmaximum light output atextremes of temperature.GE’s CFLs with amalgam stillproduce 90% of maximumlight output at temperaturesdown to -6°C and as high as+65°C.Dramatically improvedlumen efficiency inenclosed luminaires.Near perfect optical transpar-ency means there’s no needto over specify lamps forlumen loss, providing furthersavings in capital and runningcosts.

Biax lamps use GE’s new amalgam dosingtechnology to give a consistent high output throughlife, irrespective of variations in temperature andthe angles of installation. Choose Biax - in a widerange of shapes, formats and outputs - to suit allyour compact fluorescent needs.

GE Biax compact fluorescents come in two lamptypes - plug-in and electronic. Whilst a majority ofthe features described here apply to both lamptypes, plug in lamps require separate runninggear and the gear used can effect the lamp’sperformance characteristics.

Warm-up timesGE Biax lamps offer an almost instant start, butrequire a few minutes to reach full brightness,particularly in colder temperatures. This slighttime lag may make the lamp initially appear dull.

Amalgam technologyGE amalgam dosing technology providesa more consistent light output, not only throughlamp life, but also in varying ambienttemperatures and lamp orientations.

Using outsideWhen Biax lamps are employed outdoors, theymust be used in enclosed fittings. The lamps willreach full brightness when the ambienttemperature around the lamp reachesapproximately 25°C. The effects of differentambient temperatures on light output for typicallamps is shown in the chart Fig 1. With amalgamproducts, 90% of light output is achievedbetween the temperatures of -6°C and +65°C.

Enhancing colour qualityWhile the colour temperature of Biax is similarto an equivalent incandescent lamp (it producesthe same ‘whiteness’ of light), the colourrendering performance (its ability to accuratelyreproduce colours) is slightly lower. It is thisdifference that may lead some users to feel thatthe light appears dull. However, Biax lamps,which use Polylux triphosphors, are far better atrendering colours than most commonly availablefluorescent tubes.

Characteristics of electronic lamps

Dimming of electronic retrofit lampsAs the electronic gear in the base of these lampsneeds a full and constant current, they cannot be dimmed or used with other electronicswitching devices.

Eliminating flickerBiax lamps operate at very high frequencies thusavoiding the annoying flicker typical of somefluorescent installations operating withconventional control gear.

Using existing fittingsBiax lamps are much lighter than manyconventional retrofit compact fluorescent lampsand therefore do not impose exceptional loadson light fittings.

Biax maintains an acceptable level of light output within a normal rangeof temperatures.

One of the characteristics of Biax is a very low fall off in light output over the life of the lamp.
