SYMBOLS & FOOTNOTES FOR FLUORESCENT LAMPS
Footnote Description
36 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.
37 Lumen output rated on high frequency operation. 60 HZ operation would result in lower lumen output.
38 Lumen output and life rated on high frequency operation.
39 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.
40 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.
41 Guarded OCTRON lamp has plastic tube guard, which filters 95% of the UV emissions and provides shatter protection.
42 Rating for OSRAM SYLVANIA Circline lamps are based on operation in Rapid Start circuits. They will also operate on preheat circuits.
43 Gold OCTRON lamp has plastic tube guard which filters wavelengths less than 525nm and provides shatter protection.
44 Life rating of OCTRON XP lamps operated on instant start electronic ballasts is 18,000 hours based on the industry standard life test cycle of
3 hours per start.
45 Germicidal lamps can be operated on corresponding wattage preheat ballasts.
46 Amalgam compact fluorescent lamps provide at least 90% light output from 40-140 degrees F. Non-amalgam compact fluorescent lamps pro-
vide at least 90% light output from 60-100 degrees F in the base up position, the temperature range is narrower for horizontal or base down.
47 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.
48 Minimum starting temperature is a function of the ballast; consult the ballast manufacturer.
49 Minimum starting temperature for DULUX EL lamps is 0˚ F, unless otherwise specified in product literature. .
50 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.
51 Color and CRI at amalgam tip temperature of 149 degrees F (65 degrees C) for ICETRON 70 and ICETRON 100 and at 158 degrees F (70
degrees C) amalgam tip temperature for ICETRON 150.
52 OCTRON lamps should be operated only with magnetic rapid start ballasts designed to operate 265 mA, T-8 lamps or high frequency (elec-
tronic) ballasts that are either instant start, or rapid start, or programmed rapid start specifically designed to operate T8 lamps. OCTRON
lamps may be operated on instant start ballasts with ballast factors ranging from a minimum of 0.71 to a maximum of 1.20 at the nominal
ballast input voltage. When OCTRON lamps are operated in the instant start mode, the two wires or two contacts of each socket should be
connected to each other. They should then be connected to the appropriate ballast lead wire using National Electric Code techniques.
53 For operation on instant start circuits. Use only in fixtures equipped with Instant Start Ballasts.
54 Approximate length of OCTRON CURVALUME lamps is measured from base face to outside of glass bend.
55 For optimum performance OCTRON CURVALUME 1 5/8 inch leg spacing lamps in the 3000K, 3500K and 4100K color temperatures are now
available only in the 82CRI version (800 series). These lamps are made to the same color standards and may be used in combination with
other SYLVANIA OCTRON lamps to meet the needs of lighting installations where T8 lamps are used.
56 The "RS" designation has been eliminated to simplify the ordering abbreviation.
57 Preheat lamp, starter required.
58 Low temperature performance rated at 35 degrees F ambient.
59 Starter required.
60 These lamps are not intended and should not be used for diagnostic, therapeutic, or cosmetic purposes.
61 For use with 4,6 & 8 watt lamps.
62 For use with 13,30 & 40 watt lamps.
63 For use with 14,15 & 20 watt lamps.
64 40W Rapid Start Lamps may be used in starter operated fixtures designed for 40W preheat lamps. Life rating for preheat service is approxi-
mately 15,000 hours average.
65 For use with 22 watt Circline lamps, 25 watt Std. Lp., FC6 & F18T8.
66 For use with 32 watt Circline lamps, F22T8.
67 For use with 15 & 20 watt lamps.
68 For use with 20 watt lamps.
69 For use with 30 watt lamps.
70 For use with 40 watt lamps.
71 For use with 90 & 100 watt lamps.
72 For use with 90 & 100 watt lamps (4-Pin type).
