IRC technology (Infrared Reflective Coating)
The innovative IRC technology increases the efficiency of halogen lamps by
reflecting a major part of the generated unwanted IR radiation back to the coil
where it is converted into visible light. The infrared reflective coating at the
outside of the burner acts as an IR mirror but lets nearly 100% of visible
light pass.
• More light output
• Less electrical power
• Increased lifetime

Xenophot
®
technology (HLX)
Using xenon instead of krypton as the filling gas increases the luminous
efficacy of a lamp- that’s our basic idea behind our XENOPHOT technology.
