Nominal Wattage Design wattage on reference ballast. Actual wattage dependent on ballast.
Bulb Describes the shape of the bulb.
Base Base designations for compact fluorescent lamps are the NEMA designations. Please see page 111 for base illustrations.
MOL Maximum overall length. The actual length of the lamp measured from the bottom of the base to the top outside edge of the
glass. In many cases, the bottom of the base is the bottom of the center post of the base of the lamp.
Symbols & Footnotes Most symbols and footnotes that apply to a specific product will appear in this space. The explanations of the symbols and
footnotes are at the end of the fluorescent section.
Ordering Abbreviation A text description of the lamp. Please see below for several examples and explanations of some of the codes.
NEMA Generic Designation assigned by NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association).
Designation
CCT Correlated Color Temperature. The degree of “whiteness” of the light. Expressed in kelvins (K).
Please see page 109 for more information.
CRI Color Rendering Index. A numbering system for rating the relative color rendering quality of a light source compared to
a standard. Please see page 109 for more information.
Initial & Mean Lumens Initial lumens are measured when the lamp has been operating for 100 hours. Mean lumens are typically measured at
40% of the rated life of the lamp. Compact Fluorescent lamp lumens are measured at 25°C (77°F) and 35˚C (95˚F)
