SYMBOLS & FOOTNOTES FOR FLUORESCENT LAMPS
Footnote Description
18 IF AN OPERATING LAMP IS EXPOSED TO TEMPERATURES BELOW 70˚F OR MOVING AIR (WIND, DRAFTS OR AIR FLOW FROM AN AIR
CONDITIONING OR VENTILATION SYSTEM) STRIATION, A RHYTHMIC PULSING PATTERN OF LIGHT RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE TUBE
AND/OR A REDUCTION IN LIGHT OUTPUT MAY OCCUR. While visually disconcerting, neither behavior is damaging to lamp life and removing
the cause (draft or temperature) will return the lamp to normal operation.
19 The 36,000 hour average rated life of the FO32/800XPS/ECO OCTRON(R) lamp is based on operation at 3 hours per start on a QUICKTRON-
IC(R) programmed start ballast. If operated on other ballasts for T8 OCTRON lamps, lamp life will be 36,000 hours for programmed rapid
start operation and 24,000 hours for instant start operation at 3 hours per start.
20 The 36,000 hour average rated life of the FO32/800XP/ECO, FO30/800XP/SS/ECO, FO28/800XP/SS/ECO and FO32/25W/800XP/SS/ECO
OCTRON(R)lamps is based on operation at 3 hours per start on a QUICKTRONIC(R) programmed start ballast. If operated on other ballasts
for T8 OCTRON lamps, lamp life will be 36,000 hours for programmed rapid start operation and 24,000 hours for instant start operation at 3
hours per start.
21 The life rating of FO32/800/ECO OCTRON® lamps operated on rapid start ballasts is 30,000 hours. The life rating of FO32/800/ECO OCTRON
lamps operated on instant start ballasts is 24,000 hours.
22 Recommended only for use on 2-lamp, 30 watt rapid-start high power factor lead, indoor ballasts that meet ANSI standards. Not intended for
use: (1) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations, (2) on low power factor ballasts, (3) reduced
current/reduced light output ballasts, (4) dimming ballasts, or (5) on inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless any of the above
equipment is specifically listed for use with 25 watt lamps.
23 If an operating lamp is exposed to drafts or the ambient temperature falls below 60 degrees F, striation (a rhythmic pulsing pattern of light
running down the tube) and/or reduction in lamp brightness may occur. While visually disconcerting, neither behavior is damaging to the
lamp and removing the cause (draft or temperature) will return the lamp to normal operation.
24 Recommended for use on one or two lamp 40 watt rapid start, high power factor, lead, indoor ballasts that meet ANSI standards. Not intend-
ed for use: (1) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations, (2) on low power factor ballasts, (3) reduced cur-
rent/reduced light output ballasts, (4) dimming ballasts, or (5) on inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless any of the above
equipment is specifically listed for use with 34 watt lamps.
25 Recommended for use on two lamp 40 watt rapid start, high power factor, lead indoor ballasts that meet ANSI standards. Not intended for
use: (1) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations, (2) on low power factor ballasts, (3) reduced
current/reduced light output ballasts, (4) dimming ballasts, (5) on inverter operated emergency lighting systems, or (6) on high frequency
electronic ballasts. Use one Thrift/Mate with one F40/SS in each two lamp circuit.
26 Recommended for use on one or two lamp high power factor, lead, instant-start, indoor ballasts that meet ANSI standards. Not intended for
use: (1) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations, (2) on low power factor ballasts, (3) reduced
current/reduced light output ballasts, (4) dimming ballasts, or (5) on inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless any of the above
equipment is specifically listed for use with 32 watt or 60 watt lamps.
27 Recommended for use on one or two lamp high power factor, lead, 8-foot lamp, high output, indoor ballasts that meet ANSI standards. Not
intended for use: (1) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations, (2) on low powerfactor ballasts, (3) reduced
current/reduced light output ballasts, (4) dimming ballasts, or (5) on inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless any of the above
equipment is specifically listed for use with 95 watt lamps.
28 Recommended for use on 2-lamp high power factor, lead, 8-foot lamp, very high output, indoor ballasts that meet ANSI standards. Not
intended for use: (1) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations, (2) on low power factor ballasts, (3) reduced
current/reduced light output ballasts, (4) dimming ballasts, or (5) on inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless equipment is
specifically listed for use with 195 watt lamps.
29 Recommended for use on two-lamp high power factor, lead-lag, Preheat, indoor ballasts that meet ANSI standards and installed in open type
fixtures. Not intended for use: (1) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations (unstable operation or starting dif-
ficulties may be experienced below 60 degrees F or in strong drafts); (2) on low power factor ballasts, reduced current, reduced light output
ballasts, dimming ballasts, or in inverter operated emergency lighting systems.
30 Average rated life is measured at 3 hours per start on 2-lamp, rapid start magnetic ballasts per IES recommended practice. Lamp life on sin-
gle-lamp rapid start ballasts may be reduced.
31 Approximate initial lumens after 100 hours operation.
32 Recommended for use on one or two lamp 40 watt rapid start, high power factor, lead, indoor ballasts that meet ANSI standards. Not intend-
ed for use: (1) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations, (2) on low power factor ballasts, (3) reduced cur-
rent/reduced light output ballasts, (4) dimming ballasts, or (5) on inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless any of the above
equipment is specifically listed for use with 34 watt lamps. Not to be used on electronic ballasts nor with any other impedance modifying
devices.
33 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.
34 Average rated life is based on 3 hours per start operated on rapid start circuits. Average rated life is 7,500 hours on preheat circuits and
5,000 hours on instant start circuits.
35 The life rating of OCTRON and OCTRON Curvalume lamps operated on magnetic rapid start ballasts is 20,000 hours. The life rating of
OCTRON and OCTRON Curvalume lamps operated on instant start electronic ballasts is 15,000 hours.
