3 Incandescent Reflector Heat Lamps Hard Glass Infra-Red Reflectors Description Dimensions mm GE tungsten filament heat lamps in blown hard glass provide efficient, instantaneous and easily controllable infra-red radiant energy for a wide range of heating applications in industry, agriculture and the home. ø 125 ø 125 The lamps are available in clear, satin, and rubinized (red) finishes to meet differing heating requirements. A clear finish is recommended for maximizing the thermal energy of both the visible and infra-red light. A satin finish maintains much of the visible light content but offers a more diffused and even distribution of the heat. A rubinized (red) finish eliminates most of the visible light but maintains the infra-red heating properties. This type is often recommended for agricultural applications such as live stock rearing Features 6, hour average rated life. Near instantaneous heating. Easily controllable. Efficient, localized heating. Splash proof. Available in E27 and B22 bases. Applications Live stock rearing and agricultural climate control. Hot food displays and food processing. Industrial varnish and paint curing, baking, etc. Space heating. Bathroom heating. Personal therapeutic warming. GE Lighting 3

5 Halogen Precise MR11 Precise TM MR 11 35mm ø Dichroic Mirror Halogen Lamps 12W, 2W, 35W Description Precise TM MR11 lamps are low voltage tungsten halogen reflector-mounted lamps popular for downlighting and accent lighting applications because of their small size, precise beam control, high efficacy, excellent white light and cool beam characteristics. E D E G A Precise TM MR11 lamp comprises a small halogen low voltage filament capsule permanently cemented into a onepiece, dichroic coated all glass reflector. The computer designed multi-faceted reflector produces a precise beam pattern with excellent uniformity and sharp beam cut-off. The reflector is ellipsoidal in shape. The filament is precisely aligned along the optical axis of the reflector during the manufacturing process to achieve the required beam pattern. Beam patterns range from very narrow spots to wide floods. B A D C C B A E B A D C The Cover Glass (closed) versions incorporate an integral clear cover glass to ensure that both bulb and reflector are protected from dust and dirt during installation and operation. The cover glass effectively eliminates UV-C radiation and greatly reduces UV-B radiation. They use the same reflectors as the open versions and hence have the same dimensions, allowing users to interchange lamps at will.

Even a small change in voltage can have a considerable impact on lamp life (see Light, Life & Voltage ). Designers should match fitting transformer ratings to actual mains line voltages to ensure that the lamps operate at as close to 12V as possible. Rapid cycling can also shorten lamp life, and designers should take advice from their GE Lighting representative before using these lamps in flashing or blinking applications. The lamps may be dimmed by reducing voltage. However, this may cause the bulbs to blacken. If this occurs the lamp should be run at full voltage (12V) for fifteen minutes, thereby clearing the problem. Note that the nature of low voltage lighting systems requires the use of fluorescent-type dimmers. Switch off mains supply before installing/removing lamp. Fuse is essential in circuit. Observe temperature tolerances: pinch seal, max. 35 C, bulb wall min. 25 C. Lamps should be free from contamination, including finger marks, before lamp is operated. Lamps can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with spirit. Good condition of the lampholder contacts is essential. Bulb wall temperatures are high and therefore lamps should not be operated in flammable atmospheres unless enclosed in suitably rated luminaires. Ensure lamp is cool before removing. Open lamps should only be used within a luminaire with a protective shield. Innovative design of all GE dichroic mirror lamps has created a range with probably the lowest pinch temperature of any comparable lamp. A cool pinch temperature enables sealed lamps to be used in luminaires designed for open lamps. Excessive pinch seal temperature causes premature lamp failure: the maximum permissible pinch temperature is 35 C. Performance Cones All GE reflector lamps have a performance cone. This is to help achieve the most effective spread and level of illumination by showing the lamp power, beam spread and mounting distance of each lamp. A performance cone is a visual indicator of the angle at which the intensity of a beam produced by a reflector is at 5% of its peak. The cone shows the angle, the level of peak illuminance (lux) and the beam diameter for planes at right angles at various distances (m) from the lamps. The bold type at 2m serves as a benchmark for at a glance comparison of respective beam diameter and lux for different lamps. 6 GE Lighting

8 Halogen Tungsten Halogen Principle The tungsten filament is enclosed in a gas filled quartz bulb, together with a controlled quantity of halogen. At the operating temperature some tungsten vapourizes and migrates to the cooler areas of the bulb wall where before it can be deposited, it combines with the halogen to form a tungsten halide. This circulates until it comes near the filament where the halide dissociates and deposits the tungsten back on the filament. This cycle continues throughout the operating life of the lamp. W: Tungsten X: Halogen W+2X WX2 W WX2 WX2 W+2X Bulb Wall As the bulb wall remains clean the bulb size can be reduced considerably by the use of quartz which can withstand the high wall temperatures. The small bulb and strong materials withstand much higher working pressures, this reduces filament evaporation, thus offering increased performance either as more light or longer life. Light, Life & Voltage For any particular lamp, the light output and life depend upon the voltage at which a lamp is operated. For instance, as approximations, the light output varies as the 3.6th power of the voltage and the life varies inversely as the 12th power of the voltage. The Chart and Tables below illustrate the effects of overvoltage or undervoltage applied to lamp on its current, life and light output. The values given (except for long life lamps) are reasonably valid between 95% and 11% rated volts. Beyond this range the indicated characteristics may not be realised because of the increasing influence of factors which cannot be incorporated into the chart. The chart applies only to D.C. or sine-wave A.C. current. The data may differ particularly for lamp operation on half-wave rectified voltage, semiconductor dimming devices of constant operation. Tungsten Halogen Lamps & UV Radiation Under normal use, there is no risk to humans of damage to the skin such as sunburn. For example, in typical office applications, the exposure to ultra violet light during an 8 hour day is equivalent to 1 minutes in the summer sun. For tungsten halogen lamps, the amount of ultra violet and the extent of damage it can do to the skin depends on: how powerful the lamp is, how close you are to the lamp, how long you are close to the lamp.

Doubling the distance reduces the UV effect by a quarter. GE Lighting advise that cover glass lamps should always be used for desk type fittings.

9 Halogen Precise ConstantColor MR16 Precise TM ConstantColor TM MR16 5mm ø Dichroic Mirror Halogen Lamps 2W, 35W, 5W, 71W Description Precise TM MR16 lamps are low voltage tungsten halogen reflector-mounted lamps popular for downlighting and accent lighting applications because of their small size, precise beam control, high efficacy, excellent white light and cool beam characteristics. Precise TM MR16 lamp comprises a small halogen low voltage filament capsule permanently cemented into a onepiece, dichroic coated all glass reflector. The computer designed multi-faceted reflector produces a precise beam pattern with excellent uniformity and sharp beam cut-off. The reflector is ellipsoidal in shape. The filament is precisely aligned along the optical axis of the reflector during the manufacturing process to achieve the required beam pattern. Beam patterns range from very narrow spots to wide floods. The Cover glass (closed) versions incorporate an integral clear lens to ensure that both bulb and reflector are protected from dust and dirt during installation and operation. The cover glass effectively eliminates UV-C radiation and greatly reduces UV-B radiation. The use of Cover glass together with specially developed UV control quartz material for the capsule results in almost no UV-B or UV-C radiation. They use the same reflectors as the open versions and hence have the same dimensions, allowing users to interchange lamps at will. ConstantColor TM Coating The application of GE Thin Film Technology is designed to maintain consistent colour throughout life. The durable tantala and silica oxides can withstand temperatures of 5 o C without degradation over a rated life of up to 5 hours on 2, 35 and 5W lamps and 4 hours on 71W lamps. Because this coating will not degrade over life, a high level of lumen maintenance is achieved throughout lamp life. Normal dichroic coatings can lose as much as 5% of lumen maintenance over life as non-durable coatings degrade. This ensures that light colouration is the same from lamp to lamp. Because the coating is applied to the inside and the outside of the reflector, a reduced quantity of light is wasted out the back of the lamp. The light that does escape through the reflector is a consistent hue which will not vary from lamp to lamp through life ensuring replacements do not appear different from existing lamps. The ConstantColor TM interference film still allows 66% of the infra-red heat to pass through the back of the reflector to ensure a cool beam is achieved while reflecting forward almost % of the visible light.

17 Halogen Precise Alutech MR16 Precise Alutech MR16 5mm ø Aluminised Mirror Halogen Lamps 2W, 35W, 5W Description Aluminised Precise Alutech MR16 lamps are low voltage tungsten halogen reflector-mounted lamps popular for downlighting and accent lighting applications because of their small size, precise beam control, high efficacy and excellent white light. Their aluminised mirror directs both visible and infra-red components of emitted light forward preventing the overheating of lampholders and transformers behind them. An Aluminised Precise Alutech MR16 lamp comprises a small halogen low voltage filament capsule produced with UV control quartz permanently cemented into a one-piece, aluminium coated all glass reflector. The reflector design produces a precise beam pattern with excellent uniformity and sharp beam cut-off. The reflector is ellipsoidal in shape. The filament is precisely aligned along the optical axis of the reflector during the manufacturing process to achieve the required beam pattern. These lamps incorporate an integral clear Cover glass to ensure that both bulb and reflector are protected from dust and dirt during installation and operation. The cover glass effectively eliminates UV-C radiation and greatly reduces UV-B radiation. The use of the Cover Glass together with specially developed UV control quartz material for the capsule results in almost no UV-B or UV-C radiation.

18 Halogen Tungsten Halogen Principle The tungsten filament is enclosed in a gas filled quartz bulb, together with a controlled quantity of halogen. At the operating temperature some tungsten vapourizes and migrates to the cooler areas of the bulb wall where before it can be deposited, it combines with the halogen to form a tungsten halide. This circulates until it comes near the filament where the halide dissociates and deposits the tungsten back on the filament. This cycle continues throughout the operating life of the lamp. As the bulb wall remains clean the bulb size can be reduced considerably by the use of quartz which can withstand the high wall temperatures. The small bulb and strong materials withstand much higher working pressures, this reduces filament evaporation, thus offering increased performance either as more light or longer life. Light, Life & Voltage For any particular lamp, the light output and life depend upon the voltage at which a lamp is operated. For instance, as approximations, the light output varies as the 3.6th power of the voltage and the life varies inversely as the 12th power of the voltage.

The use of UV control quartz together with an optically neutral front cover glass allows the lamp to fully comply with the latest stringent requirements of IEC 357. Operation and Maintenance Low voltage tungsten-halogen lamps are sensitive to voltage variations. Even a small change in voltage can have a considerable impact on lamp life (see Light, Life & Voltage ). Designers should match fitting transformer ratings to actual mains line voltages to ensure that the lamps operate at as close to 12V as possible. Rapid cycling can also shorten lamp life, and designers should take advice from their GE Lighting representative before using these lamps in flashing or blinking applications. The lamps may be dimmed by reducing voltage. However, this may cause the bulbs to blacken. If this occurs the lamp should be run at full voltage (12V) for fifteen minutes, thereby clearing the problem. Note that the nature of low voltage lighting systems requires the use of fluorescent-type dimmers.

20 Halogen Twist And Lock Principle Mirror lamps, originally made for projectors, were designed to be mechanically supported at their front rim. The lamp s pins were intended only for electrical connection to a simple lampholder. In display lighting applications, however, the lamps are often held by the pins alone and this has proved to be not only bad engineering practice but also to contravene electrical safety standards as recognised in IEC Standards (unless specifically designed for such purpose). To remedy these shortcomings GE Lighting first introduced a lamp with a patented slot in its base and a lampholder whose springs latched into the slot thus securing the lamp mechanically. These features have been adopted by IEC Standards and the improved lamp and lampholder have the designation GU5.3 and GU4. Twist And Lock goes one step further. Twist And Lock describes exactly the movement required to mount the lamp onto the holder With TAL there is no need for force and trial and error is eliminated. The circular lampbase is guided into position and the pillars naturally find the keyhole entries. Risk of partial electrical contact is reduced since contact can only be made once mechanical lock is achieved. The generously sized TAL pillars offer greater contact area and thus improved electrical reliability. The sturdy construction of the TAL base also offers greater mechanical retention. ConstantColor TM Coating The application of GE Thin Film Technology is designed to maintain consistent colour throughout life. The durable tantala and silica oxides can withstand temperatures of 5 degrees C without degradation over a rated life of up to 35 hours on TAL lamps. Because this coating will not degrade over life, a high level of lumen maintenance is achieved throughout lamp life. Normal dichroic coatings can lose as much as 5% of lumen maintenance over life as non-durable coatings degrade. Because the coating is applied to the inside and the outside of the reflector, a reduced quantity of light is wasted out the back of the lamp. The light that does escape through the reflector is a consistent hue which will not vary from lamp to lamp through life ensuring replacements do not appear different from existing lamps. The ConstantColor TM interference film still allows 66% of the infra-red heat to pass through the back of the reflector to ensure a cool beam is achieved while reflecting forward almost % of the visible light. TAL Lampholder TAL lamps are compatible with the BJB GL1252 lamp-holder. The standard holder has a 2.5mm rim to assist in guiding the lamp into the keyhole pathways. The second holder has a larger 8mm rim designed for recessed fittings where lamp insertion is more difficult. The lampholder has a projected life of 12 hours. Description Nickel contacts, steatite ceramic body, PTFE lead wire insulation. Lead: 1.mm+ nickel plated copper. Lampholder rating 5V 1A. Universal operating position. Note: all lampholders are designed to operate with a maximum contact temperature of 25 degrees C. For lamp pinch temperature limits see IEC 357.

A cool pinch temperature enables closed lamps to be used in luminaires designed for open lamps. Excessive pinch seal temperature causes premature lamp failure: the maximum permissible pinch temperature is 35 C. Performance Cones All GE reflector lamps have a performance cone. This is to help achieve the most effective spread and level of illumination by showing the lamp power, beam spread and mounting distance of each lamp. A performance cone is a visual indicator of the angle at which the intensity of a beam produced by a reflector is at 5% of its peak. The cone shows the angle, the level of peak illuminance (lux) and the beam diameter for planes at right angles at various distances (m) from the lamps. The bold type at 2m serves as a benchmark for at a glance comparison of respective beam diameter and lux for different lamps. 2 GE Lighting

Tungsten Halogen Lamps & UV Radiation Under normal use, there is no risk to humans of damage to the skin such as sunburn. For example, in typical office applications, the exposure to ultra violet light during an 8 hour day is equivalent to 1 minutes in the summer sun.

23 Halogen UV-Control CeriTite Low Voltage Single Ended UV-Control CeriTite TM Halogen Lamps 1W, 2W, 35W, 5W, 75W, W Description These lamps are made from a new quartz material which blocks virtually all UV-B and UV-C radiation. With a transmission cut-off wavelength of between 35 and 4 nm, it is ideal for lamps requiring maximum visible transmittance with nearly complete UV protection. F F F The lamps use GE s patented leading edge technology of Cerium and Titanium doped quartz which is an effective barrier to potentially harmful ultra-violet radiation while maintaining the other high quality properties of standard clear fused quartz. The axial filament types have been specifically developed to satisfy the demand for a wide smooth beam with a good cut-off, from a miniature linear reflector, for the uniform lighting of vertical surfaces, for table lamps for task lighting, or for wall mounted or portable uplighters. With all wattages having the axial filament at the same light centre, one luminaire design may cover a range of illuminances for a variety of residential and commercial requirements. When used in spot reflectors these lamps may also be more efficient alternatives to transverse filament types, because a substantial portion of the filament will always be in the focal point.

UV Radiation The new quartz material used for GE UV-Control CeriTite TM Halogen Lamps blocks virtually all UV-B and UV- C radiation (see the Chart below) and decreases the remaining UV radiation below the international standards (Erythem and NIOSH threshold values). E.g. the Erythem threshold value measured at a luminous intensity of lux (i.e. double of that needs for the typical office applications) determines the minimum time interval which could affect the human skin as sunburn. In case of GE UV- Control CeriTite TM Halogen Lamps, this value is about a 4 hour/day exposure to ultra-violet light at the threshold values. It means that even in case of very high illumination levels, the use of these lamps has no harmful effects to humans, at all. Operation and Maintenance Fuse is essential in circuit.

31 Halogen Halogen IR DEQ Double Ended Linear Halogen-IR TM Lamps with R7s cap 225W, 375W, 9W Description B Z The quartz bulb is coated with a patented IR reflective thin film which results in the energy saving benefits shown below. The use of standard R7s caps allows direct replacement into standard fittings, whilst the red colour of the caps easily identifies the lamp as a special, energy saving version. Lamps are offered in both 23 and 24V alternatives. Halogen-IR Technology C B M D P X X Section X-X In standard incandescent and halogen lamps approximately 76% of the input energy is lost as heat radiation, whilst only 8% is converted to useful light (the rest is lost in the area of the filament). The Halogen-IR TM thin film, consisting of multiple layers of very durable, thin, interference films, reflects much of the heat back onto the lamp filament, while allowing the visible light to pass through. This increases the filament temperature which allows it to give off more visible light for the same input power. This increase in efficacy can be used to reduce the required energy input for the same light output, to increase the life of the lamp, or a combination of both.

32 Halogen Tungsten Halogen Principle Bulb Wall The tungsten filament is enclosed in an inert gas filled quartz bulb, together with a controlled quantity of halogen. At the operating temperature some tungsten vapourizes and migrates to the cooler areas of the bulb wall where, before it can be deposited, it combines with the halogen to form a tungsten halide. This circulates until it comes near the filament where the halide dissociates and deposits the tungsten back on the filament. This cycle continues throughout the operating life of the lamp. W: Tungsten X: Halogen W+2X WX2 W WX2 WX2 W+2X As the bulb wall remains clean the bulb size can be reduced considerably by the use of quartz which can withstand the high wall temperatures. The small bulb and strong materials withstand much higher working pressures and the increased gas density. This reduces filament evaporation, thus offering increased performance either as more light or longer life. Light, Life & Voltage For any particular lamp, the light output and life depend upon the voltage at which a lamp is operated. For instance, as approximations, the light output varies as the 3.6th power of the voltage and the life varies inversely as the 12th power of the voltage. The Chart and Tables below illustrate the effects of overvoltage or undervoltage applied to lamp on its current, life and light output. The values given (except for long life lamps) are reasonably valid between 95% and 11% rated volts. Beyond this range the indicated characteristics may not be realised because of the increasing influence of factors which cannot be incorporated into the chart. The chart applies only to D.C. or sine-wave A.C. current. The data may differ, particularly for lamp operation on half-wave rectified voltage, semiconductor dimming devices of constant operation. Operation and Maintenance Switch off mains supply before installing/removing lamp. A suitable HBC fuse is essential in circuit. Observe temperature tolerances pinch seal, max. 35 o C, bulb wall min. 25 o C. Lamps should be free from contamination, including finger marks, before lamp is operated. Lamps can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol. Good condition of lampholder contacts is essential.

Tungsten Halogen Lamps & UV Radiation Under normal use, there is no risk to humans of damage to the skin such as sunburn. For example, in typical office applications, the exposure to ultra violet light during an 8 hour day is equivalent to 1 minutes in the summer sun. For tungsten halogen lamps, the amount of ultra violet and the extent of damage it can do to the skin depends on: how powerful the lamp is, how close you are to the lamp, how long you are close to the lamp. Due to their outer soft glass bulbs, the amount of UV light emitted by GE HaloGlobe and HaloBTT lamps is signifi-cantly less than in case of conventional quartz halogen lamps without outer glass envelope, i.e. these lamps can be used as traditional incandescents and have no harmful effect to humans, at all.

B C D φ A β Biax TM 2D lamps are compact fluorescent tubes formed into a 2D shape. All types are available with a 4pin cap which permits use with conventional or electronic (high frequency) control gear, dimming circuits and emergency lighting circuits. The 16W and 28W types are available also with 2pin cap which contains a starter switch and r.i.s. capacitors. All lamps use rare earth triphosphors to give high efficacy with good colour rendering properties. D E C α Applications Domestic, commercial and industrial interiors and exteriors. The flat, slim profile makes the Biax TM 2D an ideal choice for building into slim, attractive luminaires, and its two dimensional shape makes it very suitable for both uplighting and downlighting applications, where directional light is required. Due to its shallow, broad configuration, it spreads light over a large area without expensive optics making it a better choice than traditional compact fluorescent and Circline lamps.

65 Compact Fluorescent Control Gear Control gear from any reputable manufacturer whose gear conforms to national/international specifications for operation of 13W T5 lamps; 18W T8 and 2W T12 lamps, as well as 36W T8 and 4W T12 lamps will satisfactorily operate the 1W, 28W as well as 38W Biax TM 2D lamps, respectively. However, in case of 28W Biax TM 2D lamps, a 2.5 µf ± 5%, 44V working capacitor rather than a 4 µf capacitor should be used for 22V leading circuit options. The use of a 4 µf capacitor would cause the lamp to over run by an unacceptable amount. The use of 38W Biax TM 2D lamp on 22V leading circuits in low ambient temperature applications (below C) is not recommended. The 16W and 21W Biax TM 2D lamps require dedicated control gears. Ballasts designed for 16W T8 and 2W T12, as well as 18W T8 and 2W T12 lamps are not suitable. Control gears designed for operation of 16W and 21W Biax TM 2D lamps are available from manufacturers such as Thorn Lighting, Tridonic, May & Christic and Vossloh Schwabe. Starting For conventional starting of 4pin Biax TM 2D lamps, it is recommended to use GE 155/5 starter switches. The use of the 4pin 16W Biax TM 2D lamp with glow starters is not recommended because of potential flicker problems originating with the associated r.i.s. capacitor (2pin versions incorporate a special r.i.s. capacitor). 2D1W, 16W % Maintenance Lumen Maintenance D28W % Maintenance Lamp Life in Hours Lamp Life in Hours Life versus Frequency of Switching (2D1W, 16W, 21W, 28W, 38W) Percentage of Rated Average Life D21W % Maintenance D38W % Maintenance Operating Hours Per Start Lamp Life in Hours Lamp Life in Hours Circuitry (2D1W, 21W) Operating Notes The 2pin Biax TM 2D lamps are unsuitable for dimming circuits or electronic operation and should not be used for this applications.

68 Compact Fluorescent Guidelines for Electronic Ballast Design (4pin lamps only) General The values detailed below are intended to be used as guidelines only. The absolute values may be affected by additional ballast design variables relating to circuit and lamp performance criteria. In case of a multi-lamp ballast, the parameters apply to each lamp. Ballast Characteristics Circuit Type A cathode preheating circuit is recommended. Supply Voltage (V) 22/24 Supply Frequency (Hz) 5/6 Operating Frequency (khz) >25 Ballast Efficiency (%) >85 Power Factor Starting Characteristics Preheat Time (ms) Where a high power factor is claimed it will exceed.9. 5 minimum or resistance ratio Rh/Rc = 4.25 to ensure cathode temperature of above 7 C. Lamp Glow Current (ma r.m.s.) preferred (max. 25) Peak Voltage (V) 4 Minimum Starting Temperature ( C) -1 Starting Aid to Lamp Distance (where applicable) (mm) 7 (for 1W, 16W and 21W types); 12 (for 28W and 38W types) Additional Notes The 16W, 21W, 28W and 38W lamps have a long tip-off tube which acts as a cool spot into which the liquid mercury reservoir (required by all fluorescent lamps) migrates during early lamp operation. In relation to circuit or fittings design or ballast evaluation, tests should be conducted with lamps aged to a minimum of 5 hours with care being taken to keep the mercury in this cool spot. In practice this means either that the lamp should be left undisturbed in its ageing position or that if the lamp is moved it should not be jolted and the 2D loops should always be carried at a greater height than the straight lamp region (9 bends). This procedure is recommended to ensure that the mercury is fully contained in the cool tip. The graphs in this data sheet depicting the variation of light output and other lamp characteristics with ambient temperature (for typical 5Hz lagging circuits) show performance before and after mercury stabilisation. By measuring the voltage at a given ambient temperature and referring to the curves for the former parameter it can readily de determined whether some liquid mercury is still in the body of the lamp or all is in the cool tip. The Biax TM 2D lamps have been standardised internationally through the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). For lamp performance the relevant data sheets in IEC 91 (EN 691) apply; for lamp safety the relevant clauses in IEC 1199 apply.

69 Compact Fluorescent Biax 2D 55W BIAX TM 2D 55W Compact Fluorescent Lamp Description Cap Fit In response to the demand from the market for a higher light output version of the 2D lamp, GE Lighting now offers the new 2D 55W using the 28W/38W envelope size. The high luminous efficacy achieved with 28W and 38W lamps has been retained in the 55W by incorporating an amalgam which overcomes the fall in efficacy that occurs with increased lamp loading. This latest addition to the 2D range has a cap which uses an upgraded material and has a unique keyway to eliminate possible safety problems. (See Diagram 1) The new cap material will withstand the higher temperatures generated by the increased lamp power while the modified holder required for the 55W 2D will stop accidental insertion of any lower rated 2D lamp into a 55W socket. Applications Nominal Dimensions C D A Diagram 1 Commercial and industrial interiors and exteriors where high lumen output is needed in a compact size. The flat profile makes the 2D an ideal choice for building into slim, attractive luminaires. Its two dimensional shape is suitable for both uplighting and downlighting applications, where directional light is required. 2D s shallow, broad configuration spreads light over a 36 o area without the need for expensive optics. The high light output and compact size of the 55W 2D lamp also makes it an excellent light source for use in wall and modular ceiling fittings.

For impact on life of alternative switching cycles refer to graph 3. To achieve claimed life for high frequency operation a preheated start is recommended for the 55W lamp. For conventional starting of the 55W 2D lamp a GE 155/5 starter switch is recommended. Minimum Starting Temperature Lamp starting at low ambient temperature ( -1 C) can be successfully achieved, however the light output during run up performance will be markedly slow. (See later comment.) Good starting at low temperatures requires a close proximity earth (ground) plate. 7 GE Lighting

71 Compact Fluorescent Run-Up Time When a fluorescent tube is switched on, the light output rises during the first few minutes until the optimum temperature is reached and then falls if the temperature continues to rise. Since the amalgam lamp optimises at a higher temperature this run-up takes longer but the fall off in light output beyond the temperature at which peak light output occurs is reduced thereby giving a greater flexibility in luminaire design. As a consequence of this slow run-up characteristic this lamp is not considered suitable for applications where very short running periods are normal; or where low ambient temperatures are encountered, unless the fitting is fully enclosed. Operating Position The 55W 2D lamp can be operated in any position except where leg α is higher than bends β (see Diagram 4). This limitation is necessary to ensure that region Φ of cap is kept as cool as possible. Region Φ should not exceed 14 C. Do not use 55W 2D lamp in luminaires or circuits designed for any other rating of 2D lamp as poor lamp performance and short lamp life will result.

73 Compact Fluorescent Heliax Heliax Compact Fluorescent Lamp 32W Description 32W Heliax vs. conventional CFL GE's new Heliax lamp has superior performance versus traditional compact fluorescent lamps available today. The unique shape of Heliax, which uses design space optimally, results in a shorter maximum overall length than other compact fluorescent lamps. The helical geometry minimizes light trapping and light absorption, providing a more optically efficient compact fluorescent lamp. Together, these attributes combine to produce the highest lumens per watt versus overall length ratio of any commercially available CFLs. Additionally, Heliax's single fluorescent tube construction ensures a robust, rugged product, able to withstand the rigours of its long life. And if these benefits are not enough, GE's new Heliax lamp is the only CFL whose size, shape and light distribution approximate a GLS incandescent light bulb. Heliax's shorter overall length, uniform light distribution, robust design and smaller cap make it ideal for incandescent retrofit applications. Finally, Heliax's compact size and unique bulb geometry allows for more efficient luminaire design and performance and creative artistic lighting designs.

Actual re-strike time is determined by ignitor type, pulse voltage and cooling rate of the lamp. Supply Voltage Lamps are suitable for supplies in the range 22V to 25V 5/6Hz for appropriately rated series choke (reactor) ballasts. Supplies outside this range require a transformer (conventional, high reactance or CWA) to ensure correct lamp operation. Lamps start and operate at 1% below the rated supply voltage when the correct control gear is used. However, in order to maximize lamp survival, lumen maintenance and colour uniformity the supply voltage and ballast design voltage should be within ±3%. Supply variations of ±5% are permissible for short periods only. This may be achieved by measuring mean supply voltage at the installation and selecting ballasts with appropriate settings. Control Gear It is essential to use a ballast appropriate to the supply voltage at the luminaire. Typical wiring diagrams for control circuits incorporating Superimposed or Impulser ignitor and choke (reactor) ballasts are shown. Refer to actual choke and ignitor manufacturers data for terminal identification and wiring information.

Ballasts Lamps are fully compatible with ballasts manufactured for high pressure sodium lamps to IEC 662. Ballasts should comply with specifications IEC 922 and IEC 923. Ballast Thermal Protection Use of ballasts incorporating thermal cut-out is not a specific requirement but is a good optional safety measure for installation. Ballast Voltage Adjustment Series choke (reactor) ballasts incorporating additional tappings at ±1V of the rated supply voltage are recommended. Alternatively a single additional tapping 1V above the rated supply voltage will ensure lamps are not over-loaded due to excessive supply voltage. Ignitors Both Superimposed and Impulser type ignitors are suitable. It is recommended that only GE approved ignitors are used. Ignitors should comply with specifications IEC 926 and IEC 927 and have starting pulse characteristics as follows: Watts Min. Max. Min. Min. Min. Pulse Pulse Pulse Pulse HF Peak Voltage Voltage Width Repetition Current (kv) (1) (kv) (2) (µs) (3) Rate (4) (A) /1/2cycle /1/2cycle /cycle /cycle /cycle /cycle /cycle.2 During the production process, GE Lucalox lamps are start tested according to the requirements of the IEC 662 Standards and will therefore be compatible with ignitors designed for lamps to this Standard and which comply with the relevant ignitor Standards (IEC 926 & 927). Examples of commercial ignitors/manufacturers are: BAG Turgi ERC May & Christe Parry Thorn MZN 7S (5/7W), MZN15S, MZN15SE-C (/15W), MZN25SE (/15/25W), MZN4S(R) (/15/25/4W) MZN4SU (/15/25/4W) MZNS (W) 646 (-4W) ZG1.SE (5/7W) ZG2.SE (/15W) ZG4.5SE (/15/25/4W) PB7#, PBE7, PXE7 (5/7W) PBO19#, PTH15# (15W) PB44# (25W/4W) PAE4, PXE4, PWE4 (15/25/4W) G5353#, G #, G #, G53434 (5/7W) G5354#, G53511, G53476, G53455, G5325 (/15/25/4W) G53282/B# (15/25/4W) G53316 (W) Tridonic ZRM2-ES, ZRM2-IS (5/7W) ZRM1.8ES/2 (/15W) ZRM6-ES (/15/25/4W) ZRM12-ES (W) # Impulser type - approved only when used with a suitable ballast. Cable between Ignitor and Lamp The cable connected between the lamp and a superimposed ignitor Lp terminal, or the ballast when using an impulser ignitor, must be rated at a minimum 5/6Hz voltage of V. Mineral-insulated cables are not suitable for connecting the lamp to the control gear. To achieve good starting superimposed ignitors must be adjacent to the luminaire. Cable capacitance of wiring between the ignitor Lp terminal and the lamp should not exceed pf (<1 metre length) when measured to adjacent earthed metal and/or other cables, unless otherwise stated by ignitor manufacturer. When using impulser type ignitors longer cable lengths between ballast and lamp are normally permissible. Limits for particular ignitors are available on request from GE Lighting or directly from the ignitor manufacturer. PFC Capacitors for Choke (Reactor) Circuits Power Factor Correction is advisable in order to minimise supply current and electricity costs. For 22-25V supplies 25V±1% rated capacitors are recommended as follows: Watts PFC Capacitor 8µF 8µF 12µF 2µF 3µF 4µF 85µF 1. When Loaded with pf. 3. At 9% peak voltage. 2. When Loaded with 2pF. 4. From ignitor into lamp during starting. Pulse Phase Angle: 6-9 el and/or el. Timed Ignitors Use of a timed or cut-out ignitor is not a specific requirement, but it is a good optional safety feature for installation. The timed period must be adequate to allow lamps to cool and restart when the supply is interrupted briefly (see Hot Re-strike Time ). 8 GE Lighting

Lamps are fully compatible with ballasts are manufactured for high pressure sodium lamps to IEC662. Ballasts should comply with specifications IEC922 and IEC923. Ballast Thermal Protection Use of ballasts incorporating thermal cut-out is not a specific requirement but is a good optional safety measure for installation. Ballast Voltage Adjustment Series choke (reactor) ballasts incorporating additional tappings at ±1V of the rated supply voltage are recommended. Alternatively a single additional tapping 1V above the rated supply voltage will ensure lamps are not over loaded due to excessive supply voltage. Cable Between Ignitor And Lamp Cables connected between the lamp and a superimposed ignitor Lp terminal, or the ballast when using an impulser ignitor, must be rated at a minimum 5/6Hz voltage of V. Mineral-insulated cables are not suitable for connecting the lamp to the control gear. To achieve good starting superimposed ignitors must be adjacent to the luminaire. Cable capacitance of wiring between the ignitor Lp terminal and the lamp should not exceed pf (<1 metre length) when measured to adjacent earthed metal and/or other cables, unless otherwise stated by ignitor manufacturer. When using impulser type ignitors longer cable lengths between ballast and lamp are normally permissible. Limits for particular ignitors are available on request from GE Lighting or directly from the ignitor manufacturer.

Cable Between Ignitor And Lamp Cables connected between the lamp and a superimposed ignitor Lp terminal, or the ballast when using an impulser ignitor, must be rated at a minimum 5/6Hz voltage of V. Mineral insulated cable is not suitable for connecting the lamp to the control gear. To achieve good starting superimposed ignitors must be adjacent to the luminaire. Cable capacitance of wiring between the ignitor Lp terminal and the lamp should not exceed pf (<1 metre length) when measured to adjacent earthed metal and/or other cables, unless otherwise stated by ignitor manufacturer. When using impulser type ignitors longer cable lengths between ballast and lamp are normally permissible.

99 High Intensity Discharge Supply Voltage Lamps will start and operate with a 1% reduction in rated supply voltage when the correct control gear is used. However, in order to maximize lamp survival, lumen maintenance and colour uniformity, the supply voltage and ballast design should be within ±3%. Supply variations of ±5% are permissible for short periods only. Lamps are suitable for supplies in the range 22V-25V 5/6Hz for appropriately rated series choke (reactor) ballasts. Supplies outside this range require a transformer (conventional, high reactance or CWA) to ensure correct lamp operation. Fusing of Choke/Ignitor Circuits For a very short period after switch-on, all discharge lamps may act as a partial rectifier and as a result the ballast may allow several times the normal supply current to flow. To avoid nuisance fuse failure the ratings shown below should be used. For further information refer to the publication "Fuse Ratings For Discharge Lamps" available from GE Lighting.

Warning Arcstream lamps have an outer bulb made of quartz which transmits UVA and UVB radiation. All metal halide lamps, including Arcstream, operate at very high internal pressures, consequently it is a possibility that in a large installation a few lamps may shatter if run beyond the rated life. To reduce the risk of this happening, continuous operation of the lamps should be avoided and the lamps should be switched off for a brief period at least once every 24 hours. FOR THESE REASONS ARCSTREAM LAMPS MUST ONLY BE OPERATED IN A FULLY ENCLOSED LUMINAIRE WITH A UV ABSORBENT FRONT COVER GLASS. INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND DISPOSAL Important The following information gives essential precautions for the safe handling, installation, use and disposal of Metal Halide lamps. Failure to adhere to these precautions could expose the user to harmful UVA and UVB radiation. Installation All lamps should be installed and replaced by a competent electrician or suitably qualified person who must first isolate the equipment from the electricity supply. Effect of Supply Voltage Variation on Performance Percentage of Nominal Ensure that the replacement lamp is the correct type for the application and is located correctly and firmly in the lampholder. If the outer bulb is broken or scratched the lamp must not be used. Fingerprints on the outer bulb should be removed using a soft cloth impregnated with methylated spirit. Operation During operation parts of the lamp surface may reach temperatures up to 6 C. Prevent liquid condensation droplets or water splashing onto the lamp as these may cause the bulb to shatter. The lamp must only be used in a fully enclosed luminaire with a UV absorbing front cover glass that will retain any fragments should the lamp shatter.

This effect can be minimized by careful reflector design. In general an evenly mixed beam can be achieved by using a parabolic reflector. Any spreading of the beam should be achieved by using a degree of faceting and surface texturing. Narrow angle reflectors should also incorporate a small degree of facetting or surface texturing. Further information and advice can be obtained on application. Control Gear For correct starting and operation it is important that the lamp and control gear are compatible and suitable for the supply voltage at the luminaire. Ballasts The following 7W and 15W ballasts are suitable: (a) Ballasts manufactured for lamps complying with the forthcoming IEC metal halide lamp specification. (b) Ballasts manufactured for lamps complying with the high pressure sodium lamp specification IEC662. Ballasts should comply with specifications IEC992 and IEC923. Ballast Thermal Protection Incorporation of a thermal cutout into the ballast is not a specific requirement for Arcstream lamps, but some form of thermal protection is required by the forthcoming IEC Metal Halide Lamp specification. Voltage Adjustment Additional tappings at ±1V should be provided on series choke ballasts to ensure actual supply voltage and rated voltage of the ballast are within the GE recommended limits. Ballasts rated for 22/23/24V should be used for Europe and Ireland excluding UK Mainland. Ballasts with no means of voltage adjustment may be used provided that the supply voltage is maintained within the recommended limits. Ignitors Correct ignitor performance is essential for successful starting of the lamp. Superimposed or impulser type ignitors are suitable for use with Arcstream lamps, but it is recommended that only GE approved ignitors are used. Pulse requirements are ±3.5kV peak (minimum) with pulses produced on both mains half-cycles between 6/9 degrees and 24/27 degrees. Ignitors should comply with specifications IEC926 and IEC927. Timed Ignitors Use of a "timed" or "cutout" ignitor is not a specific requirement for Arcstream lamps, but it is a good optional safety feature for the installation. The time period must be sufficient to allow lamps to hot restart where the supply is accidentally switched off or a sudden reduction in supply voltage causes the lamp to extinguish. A minimum period of 6 minutes ignitor operation is recommended before the ignitor is automatically switched off. Commercially available 1/11 minute timed ignitors should be used. Approved Ignitors for both 7W and 15W ratings Thorn G53459, G53476 BAG Turgi MZN 15S, MZN 25SE, MZN 4SU Tridonic/Zumtobel ZRM GES, ZRM 1.8ES/2 May & Christie PTH7* (for 7W only), PTH15* (for 15W only), PAE4, PXE4 Sabir AIF4 *Impulser type must be used in conjunction with appropriate Parry ballast HDZ73 (7W), HSV162 (15W) or HSV163 (15W). You are advised to contact GE Lighting if you wish to use any ignitor not on the above list. Lamp to Ignitor Cable Capacitance To achieve good starting with superimposed types, ignitors must be adjacent to the luminaire. Cable capacitance between wiring from the ignitor "Lp" terminal to lamp and adjacent metal and/or other cables should not exceed pf (<1 metre length) unless otherwise stated by ignitor manufacturer. When using impulser type ignitors longer cable lengths between ballast and lamp are permissible. For example Parry impulser types can be used with between 2pF (13 metres) and 28pF (19 metres) of typical cable depending upon lamp rating and supply voltage. PFC Capacitors for Simple Choke Circuits Power Factor Correction is advisable in order to minimize supply current and electricity costs.

Supplies outside this range require a transformer (conventional, high reactance or CWA) to ensure correct lamp operation. Lamps start and operate at 1% below the rated supply voltage when the correct control gear is used. However, in order to maximize lamp survival, lumen maintenance and colour uniformity the supply voltage and ballast design voltage should be within ±3%.

To avoid nuisance fuse failure the ratings shown below should be used. Single fusing is recommended. For further information refer to the publication Fuse Ratings for Discharge Lamps available from GE Lighting. Operation and Maintenance Important: The following information gives precautions for the safe handling, installation, use and disposal of CMH lamps. Compliance with these instructions is essential. Before use: Always turn off power before inserting or removing a lamp. Check that the replacement lamp is of the correct type for the application and for use in the circuit. Only the appropriate ballast must be used. Ensure that the lamp is correctly located in the lampholder. Electrically insulate any metal to glass support in luminaire to avoid decomposition of the glass. During operation, parts of the lamp surface may reach temperatures up to 6 C. Prevent liquid condensation droplets or water splashing onto the lamp as these may cause the bulb to shatter. If the outer bulb is broken or scratched, the lamp must not be operated. Relamp luminaires at or before the end or rated life. Beyond rated life, light output diminishes while energy consumption and risk of rupture increase. Turn power off and let lamp cool before removal to avoid potential burn and electrical shock hazard during lamp replacement. Small quantities of lamps may be disposed of with ordinary refuse. The lamps should be placed in original or similar packing before disposal. Large quantities of lamps must be disposed of in accordance with all applicable regulations. These lamps can cause serious skin burn and eye inflammation from shortwave ultraviolet radiation if outer envelope of the lamp is broken or punctured, and the arc tube continues to operate. Do not use where people will remain for more than a few minutes unless adequate shielding or other safety precautions are used. Insure that lamp is correctly located in the lampholder and that the outer quartz bulb is clean. Operating when dirty results in permanent marking of the bulb surface. Excessive handling of the outer quartz should be avoided. The lamp can be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with methanol. The outer bulb is made of quartz which transmits UV-A and UV-B radiation. This radiation is harmful to eyes and skin: operators must be shielded from direct or reflected shortwave ultraviolet radiation. It is essential that the CMH lamp only be used within a luminaire with a front glass that is able to contain fragments of hot glass (up to 12 C) in the event that the lamp shatters. Do not operate lamp in a luminaire if the front glass is either missing or broken. Luminaires must be enclosed with UV-absorbing tempered glass. It is recommended that lamp be used in luminaires with safety interlock lens switch. If in doubt, contact your luminaire manufacturer. GE Lighting 127

128 High Intensity Discharge GUIDANCE FOR LUMINAIRE MANUFACTURERS Control Gear To achieve correct lamp starting, performance and life it is important that lamp and control gear are compatible and suitable rated for the supply voltage at the luminaire. Ballasts The ConstantColor CMH lamps need the same type of ballasts as it is used for the conventional metal halide lamps of the same nominal lamp power. These lamps are compatible with IEC and ANSI type ballasts manufactured for metal halide lamps. Ballast Thermal Protection It is mandatory to use either a thermo-protected ballast or an equivalent protection device in the circuit. This requirement is in accordance with IEC 1167 standard regulations. Ignitors Both Superimposed and Impulser type ignitors are suitable. It is recommended that only GE approved ignitors are used. Ignitors should comply with specifications of the appropriate IEC and ANSI standards. Timed Ignitors Use of a timed or cut-out ignitor is not a specific requirement, but it is a good optional safety feature for the installation. The timed period must be adequate to allow lamps to cool and restart when the supply is interrupted briefly (see Hot Re-strike Time ). A period of 15 minutes continuous or intermittent operation is recommended before the ignitor is automatically switched off. Commercially available 15 minute timed ignitors may be suitable. Cable between Ignitor and Lamp Cable connected between the lamp and a superimposed ignitor Lp terminal, or the ballast when using an impulser ignitor, must be rated at a minimum 5/6Hz voltage of V. Mineral insulated cable is not suitable for connecting the lamp to the control gear. To achieve good starting superimposed ignitors must be adjacent to the luminaire. Cable capacitance of wiring between the ignitor Lp terminal and the lamp should not exceed pf (<1 metre length) when measured to adjacent earthed metal and/or other cables, unless otherwise stated by ignitor manufacturer.
