SYMBOLS & FOOTNOTES FOR FLUORESCENT LAMPS
Footnote Description
73 For use with GL-1302 GRO-LUX fixture.
74 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.
75 When base pins or R.D.C. bases are horizontal, window opening is centered downward or upward.
76 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
77 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.
78 ICETRON diameter is the outside diameter of the ferrite coil. ICETRON MOL is the length from the outside edge of the mounting bracket on
one end to the outside edge of the mounting bracket on the opposite end.
79 DULUX Els meet CSA, FCC and UL requirements.
80 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.
81 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.
82 WARNING: To prevent possible serious injury, eyes and skin should not be exposed to direct or reflected ultraviolet power emitted by this
lamp. This lamp is in Risk Group 3 per ANSI/IESNA RP-27.3-96. Adequate protection should be provided by clothing, gloves, opaque materi-
als, and ordinary window glass. Although this lamp will operate in standard fluorescent fixtures, it should not be used for general lighting
applications.
83 Mean lumens at 8,000 hours (40% of 20,000 hours for comparison to standard OCTRON and F40 rapid start lamps). The lumen maintenance
factor at 40% of average rated life (9,600 hours) is 94%.
84 The lumen maintenance factor used to determine the mean lumens value was 90%, 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 91%.
85 The lumen maintenance factor used to determine the mean lumen value was 95%. This is the lamp lumen maintenance factor at 6000 hours,
40% of 15,000 hours. It was used to allow comparison to standard OCTRON(R) lamps with an average rated life of 15000 hours. The lamp
lumen maintenance factor at 40% of the 18,000 hour average rated life of this lamp, 7200 hours, would be 94%.
86 When base pins or R.D.C. bases are horizontal, window opening is centered to either side.
87 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 the 24,000 hour average rated life of this lamp, 9600 hours, would be 94%.
88 Low temperature performance rated at 35 degrees F ambient.
89 Cool White lamp with 30 degree aperture (Power Beam).
90 Blacklight lamp with 180 degree reflector>
91 Labeled for cold temperature (below 60 degrees F) operation only per EPACT.
92 Under ideal conditions, an average rated life of 10,000 hours at 3 hours/start is possible.
93 The 30,000 hour average rated life of the FO17/800XPS/ECO and FO25/800XPS/ECO OCTRON(R) lamps is based on operation at 3 hours start
on a QUICKTRONIC(R) Programmed Start ballast. If operated on other ballasts for T8 OCTRON lamps, lamp life will be 30,000 hours for rapid
start operation, and 18,000 hours for instant start operation at 3 hours per start.
94 The lamp lumen maintenance factor used to determine the mean lumen value was 95%. This is the lamp lumen maintenance factor at 8000
hours, 40% of 20,000 hours. It was used for 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,
12,000 hours, would be 93%
95 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 550V, (2) at lamp ambient temperatures below 60 degrees F or in drafty locations, (3) on dimming ballast or (4)
inverter operated emergency lighting systems unless any of the above equipment is specifically listed for use with the OCTRON(R) SUPER-
SAVER(R) 28 or 30 watt, 4 foot or 30W U-bent T8 lamp. Any of the above situations could result in lamp starting and stabilization problems
