SYMBOLS & FOOTNOTES FOR COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS
Symbol Description
New item introduced within the past year.
Item will be discontinued when inventory is depleted.
This ECOLOGIC
®
lamp was designed to pass the Federal TCLP criteria for classification as non-hazardous waste in most states. Disposal
regulations may vary; check local and state regulations.
This lamp is a High Color Rendering Lamp
Product is Canadian Standards Association approved for the Canadian market
Product is Underwriters Laboratories listed
Footnote Description
1 Approximate initial lumens after 100 hours operation.
2 Minimum starting temperature is a function of the ballast; consult the ballast manufacturer.
3 Minimum starting temperature for DULUX EL lamps is 0˚ F, unless otherwise specified in product literature. .
4 2 pin CF lamps are not suitable for use in frequently cycled applications or with occupancy sensors. 2 pin CF lamps should never be installed
in 4 pin sockets regardless if lamp will fit.
5 There is a NEMA supported, industry issue where T2, T4, and T5 fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps operated on high frequency bal-
lasts may experience an abnormal end-of-life phenomenon. This end-of-life phenomenon can resulting one or both of the following: 1. Bulb
wall cracking near the lamp base. 2. The lamp can overheat in the base area and possibly melt the base and socket. NEMA recommends that
high frequency compact fluorescent ballasts have an end-of-life shutdown circuit which will safely and reliably shut down the system in the
rare event of an abnormal end-of-life failure mode described above. The final requirements of this system are yet to be defined by ANSI. For
additional information refer to NEMA papers on their WEBSITE at www.NEMA.org.
6 SYLVANIA ECOLOGIC fluorescent lamps are designed to pass the Federal Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) criteria for classifi-
cation as non-hazardous waste in most states. TCLP test results are available upon request. Lamp disposal regulations may vary, check your
local & state regulations. For more information, please visit www.lamprecycle.org
7 This 4-pin DULUX lamp has an internal end-of-life mechanism (EOL) that shuts down the lamp preventing abnormal end-of life failure modes.
This lamp was designed for use with high frequency ballasts that do not have their own end-of-life (lamp) sensing circuits, but it is also com-
patible with high frequency ballasts that have their own end-of-life (lamp) sensing circuits.
8 DULUX Els meet CSA, FCC and UL requirements.
9 Caution: DULUX EL units cannot be used on dimming circuits, emergency exit fixtures or lights, electronic timers, photocells, lighted switch-
es or any other switches that do not meet UL20 Sec. 7.6.15. In outdoor applications, use only in enclosed fixtures to avoid exposure to
weather. Use only on 120V, 60 Hz circuits. Never disassemble or modify lamp. Install or remove unit from fixture by grasping plastic base.
Best performance achieved when operated at 77degrees F (25 degrees C). 40 Watt lamp is designed for base down orientation only.
10 CAUTION: This lamp emits ultraviolet (UV) power during operation and is in Risk Group 1 per ANSI/IESNA RP-27.3-96. Exposure at less than
0.3 meters (12 inches) should be limited; for example exposure at 0.2m (8 inches) should not exceed 4 hours in an 8 hour interval (see
ANSI/IESNA RP-27.1-96). Certain medications and chemicals can increase an individual's sensitivity. Consult your physician for specific
information. Protective eyewear should be worn in occupational situations involving long term exposure in close proximity to the lamp. This
lamp is not intended and should not be used for diagnostic, therapeutic or cosmetic purposes.
11 2 pin CF lamps should never be installed in 4 pin sockets regardless if lamp will fit.
12 The life ratings of fluorescent lamps are based on 3 hr. burning cycles under specified conditions and with ballast meeting ANSI specifica-
tions. If burning cycle is increased, there will be a corresponding increase in the average hours life.
13 Caution: DULUX EL Circline units cannot be used on dimming circuits, emergency exit fixtures or lights, electronic timers, photocells or light-
ed switches. In outdoor applications, use only in enclosed fixtures to avoid exposure to weather. Use only on 120V, 60 Hz circuits.
14 Minimum starting temperature for DULUX EL lamps is 0 degrees F
15 Caution: Although DURA-ONE lamps can be used with occupancy sensors that have a fluorescent volt-amp rating, DURA-ONE lamps cannot
be used on any other dimming circuits, emergency exit fixtures or lights, electronic timers, photocells, lighted switches or any other switches
that do not meet UL20 Sec. 7.6.15. In outdoor applications, use only in enclosed fixtures to avoid exposure to weather. Use only on 120V, 60
Hz circuits. Never disassemble or modify lamp. Install or remove unit from fixture by grasping plastic base. Best performance achieved when
operated at 77˚F (25˚C). Operating temperature range of DURA-ONE lamps is -20˚F/-29˚C to 122˚F/50˚C.
16 These lamps may also be operated on rapid start circuits. On rapid start circuits the 24 watt lamp operates at 27 watts and the 36 watt lamp
operated at 39 watts. Rated lamp life is unchanged.
17 Lumen output rated on high frequency operation. 60 HZ operation would result in lower lumen output.
18 Lumen output and life rated on high frequency operation.
19 DULUX F lamps can typically be operated on DULUX L and PENTRON HO ballasts of the same/similar wattage. Check with the ballast manu-
facturer to verify lamp/ballast compatibility.
20 Rule of Thumb for Compact Fluorescent Lamps: Divide wattage of incandescent lamp by 4 to determine approximate wattage of compact flu-
orescent lamp that will provide similar light output.
21 Optimum light output for DULUX T/E IN amalgam compact fluorescent lamps occurs at approximately 35 deg. C/ 95 deg. F ambient tempera-
ture when the lamp is operated in the base up position. The lumen value listed refers to the optimum light output. Non-amalgam compact flu-
orescent lamps provide at least 90% light output from 60-100 degrees F in the base up position, the temperature range is narrower for hori-
zontal or base down position.
22 Minimum starting temperature: CF5: -22 degrees F; CF7: -4 degrees F; CF9: 14 degrees F; CF13DS: 14 degrees F; CF13DD: -4 degrees F;
CF18DD: 5 degrees F; CF18DT: -4 degrees F; CF26: 14 degrees F.
