3.1 Range
The ‘TL’5 range consists of:
– ‘TL’5 HE 14W (2 ft) – ‘TL’5 HO 24W (2 ft)
– ‘TL’5 HE 21W (3 ft) – ‘TL’5 HO 39W (3 ft)
– ‘TL’5 HE 28W (4 ft) – ‘TL’5 HO 54W (4 ft)
– ‘TL’5 HE 35W (5 ft) – ‘TL’5 HO 49W (5 ft)
– ‘TL’5 HO 80W (5 ft)
3.2 Mechanical characteristics
For maximum lamp dimensions according to IEC Publication 60081,
see table below (Figure 3.1).
The lamps fulfil the safety regulations in accordance with IEC
Publication 1195 - Double-capped fluorescent lamps - Safety
specifications.
The circumscription (inclusive the warp) of the lamps is 17 mm.
The nominal diameter of ‘TL’5 lamps is 16 mm.

3.4 ‘TL’5 standardization and publication
values
‘TL’5 lamps have been specified and originally standardized to reach
the maximum light output at an ambient temperature of 35 ºC.To
enable the partners in the business chain to check the luminous
flux and the electrical values of the bare lamp at 25 ºC,it is
proposed to change the specifications of ‘TL’5 lamps according to
IEC Publication 60081 to 25 ºC, without changing the lamp
concept.
Following this proposal from September 2000 on data for ‘TL’5
lamps will be published as follows
– Publication values for design and calculation of installations:
luminous flux of ‘TL’5 lamps is equal to the luminous flux at
25 ºC ambient temperature
– For ballast and luminaire design the OEM information
contains electrical and photometrical values at both an ambient
temperature of 25 ºC as well as 35 ºC.
