SYMBOLS & FOOTNOTES FOR FLUORESCENT LAMPS
Symbol Description
New item introduced within the past year.
Item will be discontinued when inventory is depleted.
Rating given for 200mA operation.
This fluorescent lamp generates radiant energy which is most beneficial for plant propagation and enhances vegetative and reproductive
growth of many plants for home and commercial use.
This lamp or ballast meets minimum Federal efficiency standards.
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
Footnote Description
1 May be operated at 100 watts (1000MA) same as F84T12/HO.
2 Average life rating at 12 hours operation per start is 28,800 hours.
3 Due to their small diameter, T2 miniature fluorescent lamps operate at higher surface temperatures than other fluorescent lamps. To avoid
possible burns, do not touch the lamp during operration and allow sufficient cooling time before removing the lamp from the fixture. The typ-
ical bulb wall temperature during operation is 120 degrees at the ends. The maximum allowable bulb wall temperature is 150 degrees C. To
avoid electrical shock, turn electrical power off before removing or installing the lamp.
4 The 30,000 hour average rated of the OCTRON (R) XPS CURVALUME (R) lamp is based on operation at 3 hours per start by a dedicated
QUICKTRONIC(R) PSX ballast. If operated by other ballasts for T8 OCTRON lamps, life will be the same as that of the XP version of the lamp:
typically 24,000 hours for rapid or programmed rapid start operation and 18,000 hours for instant start operation at 3 hours per start.
5 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(R) 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, 12000 hours, would be 93%.
6 The /2P version of the ICETRON lamp is supplied with a 24 inch lead wire terminated by a 2-Pin connector rather than the old 12 inch lead,
3-Pin connector design. The /2P versions are powered by QT1X100 ICE/UNV-T or QT1X150 ICE/UNV-T ballasts.
7 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.
8 Current ballast design incorporates a modular 2-Pin connector plugin from the lamp. An adapter, NAED code 26240, is available to connect 3-
Pin lamp types to current (2-Pin) design ballasts.
9 This lamp may also be operated by the OSRAM SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC(R) PSN ballast (.88 BF), or the QUICTRONIC PSX ballast (.71 BF).
10 The lumen maintenance factor used to determine the mean lumens value was 92%, 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 93%.
11 Minimum starting temperature for DULUX EL lamps is 0 degrees F
12 For operation in fixtures designed only for 24 ", 30 watt, T-12 Fluorescent lamps.
13 Life rating is based on rapid start operation. Life rating on instant start operation is 15,000 hrs.
14 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.
15 Service life (that amount of time where light output remains greater than or equal to 80% of initial lumens) is 16,000 hours for FP28/RED,
FP28/GREEN, FP54/RED/HO and FP54/GREEN/HO and 10,000 hours for FP28/BLUE and FP54/BLUE/HO.
16 The life of this lamp, operated on instant start electronic ballasts is 24,000 hours based on the industry standard life test standard of 3 hours
per start.
17 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 570V, (2) at lamp ambient temperatures below 70˚F or in drafty locations, (3) in air handling fixtures, (4) on
dimming ballasts, (5) on inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless any of the above equipment is specifically listed for 25W
lamps, or (6) below 60˚F starting temperature. Any of the above situations could result in lamp starting and stabilization problems or system
compatibility issues.
