Description
DULUX
Caution: DULUX EL units cannot be used on dimming circuits, emergency exit fixtures or lights, electronic timers, photocells or lighted
switches. In outdoor applications, use only in enclosed fixtures to avoid exposure to weather. Use only on 120V, 60 Hz circuits. Never dis-
assemble or modify lamp. Install or remove unit from fixture by grasping plastic base. Best performance achieved when operated at
77degrees F (25 degrees C).
Minimum starting temperature for EL Globes & Reflectors is -22 degrees F. Minimum starting temperature for EL Triples, Twists and Mini
Twists is 0 degrees F.
The life rating of OCTRON
OCTRON and OCTRON Curvalume lamps operated on instant start electronic ballasts is 15,000 hours.
OCTRON lamps should be operated only with magnetic rapid start ballasts designed to operate 265 mA, T8 lamps or high frequency (elec-
tronic) ballasts that are either instant start, or rapid start, or programmed rapid start specifically designed to operate T8 lamps. OCTRON
lamps may be operated on instant start ballasts with ballast factors ranging from a minimum of 0.71 to a maximum of 1.20 at the nominal
ballast input voltage. When OCTRON lamps are operated in the instant start mode, the two wires or two contacts of each socket should be
connected to each other. They should then be connected to the appropriate ballast lead wire using National Electric Code techniques.
Life rating of OCTRON XP
3 hours per start.
The lamp lumen maintenance factor used to determine the mean lumen value was 95%. This is the lamp lumen maintenance factor at 8,000
hours, 40% of 20,000 hours. It was used to allow comparison to standard OCTRON® lamps with an average rated life of 20,000 hours. The
lamp lumen maintenance factor at 40% of the 24,000 hour average rated life of this lamp, 9600 hours, would be 94%.
Gold OCTRON lamp has plastic tube guard which filters wavelengths less than 525nm and provides shatter protection.
SAFELINE
by containment within the safety coating material. The covering must be intact or the lamp must be replaced to be in compliance. An onsite
inspector will require correction if the lamps are installed improperly or not maintained properly.
SAFELINE lamps are intended for indoor use only. Lamps must be used in ambient temperatures below 135 degreed F. The coating is
designed to withstand constant operating temperatures up to 239 degrees F and has a melting point in excess of 500 degrees F. Lamps must
be used with sockets that provide adequate lamp pin to socket contact. Lamps must not be used with defective ballasts sockets, or fixtures
with improper wiring.
The lumen maintenance factor used to determine the mean lumens value was 90%, measured at 40% of the average rated life, 15,000 hours.
The lumen maintenance factor at 4,000-4,800 hours (for comparison to F96T12 HO and F96T12 Slimline instant start lamps) is 91%.
The lamp lumen maintenance factor used to determine the mean lumen value was 95%. This is the lamp lumen maintenance factor at 8000
hours, 40% of 20,000 hours. It was used for comparison to standard OCTRON® lamps with an average rated life of 20,000 hours. The lamp
lumen maintenance factor at 40% of 24,000 hours, 9600 hours, would be 94%; the lamp lumen maintenance factor at 40% of 30,000 hours,
12,000 hours, would be 93%
This lamp may also be operated by the OSRAM SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC® PSN ballast (.88 BF), or the QUICTRONIC PSX ballast (.71 BF).
Recommended to be used on any F32 T8 Instant Start circuit. It is not recommended to be used:(1) with Rapid Start circuits unless the open
circuit voltage is greater than 550V, (2) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations, (3) on low power factor bal-
last, (4) dimming ballast or (5) inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless any of the above equipment is specifically listed for use
with the OCTRON® SUPERSAVER® 28 or 30 watt, 4 foot or 30W U-bent T8 lamp. Any of the above situations could result in lamp starting
and stabilization problems.
The 30,000 hour average rated life of the FO32/800XPS/ECO OCTRON® lamp is based on operation at 3 hours per start on a dedicated
QUICKTRONIC® PSX ballast. If operated on other ballasts for T8 OCTRON lamps, lamp life will be 20,000 hours for rapid start operation,
24,000 hours for programmed rapid start operation and 15,000 hours for instant start operation at 3 hours per start.
Germicidal lamps can be operated on corresponding wattage preheat ballasts.
Mean lumens at 8,000 hours (40% of 20,000 hours for comparison to standard OCTRON and F40 rapid start lamps). The lumen mainte-
nance factor at 40% of average rated life (9,600 hours) is 94%.
Recommended to be used on any F96 T8 Instant Start circuit. It is not recommended to be used: (1) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60
degrees F or in drafty locations, (2) on low power factor ballast, or (3) inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless any of the above
equipment is specifically listed for use with the OCTRON FO96 SUPERSAVER 55 watt T8 lamp. Any of the above situations could result in
lamp starting and stabilization problems.
