General Questions

What is the difference between a lamp and a luminaire?

The real source of light is called lamp or light source and lighting apparatus is called the light fixture.

How do you define the term "estimated lifetime"?

The estimated lifetime is the average life that is expected to have a lamp operating under normal conditions. At this point 50% of the lamps have failed, others have failed earlier and others much later.

How long are electronic ballasts and transformers?

Operating at maximum ambient temperature of 40 ° C or 50 ° C (printed on the box) 10% likely to fail after 30,000 hours.

Devices operating at 10 º C less than room temperature, twice its length.

Turning on the light interferes with the reception of the radio

The antenna should be installed as far as possible from power lines. It is even better using an external antenna (satellite receiver or cable television.

What is the power consumption of processors if they are in standby or wait, if not turned on the primary side?

Approximately 1W to 2W.

How I can connect a transformer to an EBS or multiple IR-S?

An additional transformer can be connected using a distributor Euro-Y (21503160101con Euro Euro plug and two links).

Halogen

Do halogen luminaires can be dimmed?

If the dimmer transformer tested for using: leading edge or a regulatory phase of flight.

Fluorescent

How do fluorescent lamps?

When the fluorescent lights, mercury vapor emits or gives off ultraviolet rays. The phosphorus in the inner surface of the glass tube converts these rays into light. The color of the light depends on the phosphorus.

What I can do if a fluorescent lamp shines even when turned off?

Even when no power, once the lamp has been switched off the mercury atoms continue stirring to produce ultraviolet radiation, which is also otherwise and which is converted by the phosphor into visible light. Not a storage effect, and the solution is to insert the plug to test the shocks or shock cord into the outlet in reverse.

What do the terms T2, T5 and T8?

The "T" represents the tube and the number indicates the diameter in inches. The miniature size of a fluorescent lamp T2 has a diameter of 7 mm, a T5 fluorescent lamp has a diameter of 16 mm and a T8 has a diameter of 26 mm. T4 fluorescent lamp with a diameter of 13 mm is relatively new, but is not standardized, which means that some of the same wattage lamps are offered by different providers in different lengths.

Can be dimmed lighting fluorescent one?

If the appropriate abalastro. There are two different types of lighting control DALI ® 1-10V. The Lynx Mycro SYLVANIA compact fluorescent lighting can be dimmed.

What is important to remember when dimmed lighting fixtures?

New lamps should be burned (seasoned) at full power for 100 hours to stabilize the discharge. Otherwise color discrepancies can occur and the life of the lamp is considerably reduced. T5 only about 6000 hours.

Should I take any precautions especially when mounting the fixture vertically?

For T5 fixtures (T8 if desired) lamps should be installed so that "cool spot" stamped on the tube, this fully.

LED

Can be mitigated by a lighting LED?

If the transformer is adequate to mitigate (DIM LED to 350 mA or 24/15W LED and LED 24/30 TO 24V) and 1-10V voltage regulators (not regulatory phases).
