Compact Fluorescent Lamps
Application
These compact fluorescent lamps are designed as
replacements for GLS lamps and long fluorescent tubes.
1óW 2D lamps replace GLS lamps of up to 100W whilst the
larger 28 and 38W 2D lamps replace lamps of between 150
and 200W. The 38W 2D is an ideal light package for use in
300 x 300mm modular ceiling systems.
2L lamps replace long fluorescent tubes of at least twice
their length and are used in commercial premises, e.g.
shops, offices and hotels, whilst the smaller sizes are ideal
fo¡ outdoor amenity lighting.
The elechonically ballasted 40W 2L is the optimum size
and performance package for ó00 x ó00mm modules, which
together with its ideal length (leaving no dark areas at the
edges), and high frequency benefits (lack of flicker, instant
starting and economy of operation) make it the ultimate
solution for situations where only the best is good enough.

Colours
Both 2D and 2L lamps use Polylux phosphors for high light
output and good colour rendering.
2D lamps are available in Polylux 2700 which closely
matches the colour of tungsten filament lamps for most
indoor applications and Polylux 3500 to match the standard
commercial lighting colour.
lóW versions are also available in seven vibrant colou¡ed
hues fo¡ decorative and display use.

2L lamps are available in Polylux 3500, as the standard UK

colour fo¡ commercial lighting, as well as Polylux 3000 for
a warmer effect and Polylux 4000 to produce a cooler, more
businesslike effect.

Fluorescent Tubes - Main Range
Definition of Lamp Types
Polylux Tubes:
THORN Polylux tubes are high efficiency, high colour
rendering tri-phosphor tubes which are recommended for TitðRN

all new installations.

Polylux phosphors produce about 12% more light than
conventional phosphors and give high colour rendering
gORf,
values. In the standa¡d 2ómm diameter Krypton filled
versions, the¡e is also an 870 saving of energy for equivalent
light output. These lamps also have excellent light output
maintenance.
Pluslux Tubes:
THORN Pluslux tubes are 2ómm diameter ve¡sions of the
standard colou¡ range. They offer the 870 energy saving of
trrypion filled tubes without the inc¡eased light output and
improved colour rendering characteristics of Polylux tubes.

Standard Tubes:
Argon filled tubes usually 38mrn in diameter, but some
ratings are in 2ómm diameter (e.g. 18" 15W,3' 30W,
1050mm 40W and 5' 50W).
The phosphors are split into two types - ordinary and
specialist.
O Ordinary phosphors are generally halophosphates and
comprise the colou¡s of White Warm White, Cool
White, Natu¡al and TropicalDaylight and are used for
general lighting.
O Specialists phosphors are of the Deluxe type and are
used for specific applications. For example 'Kolor-rite,
Northlight, Ailificial Daylight, De Luxe Natural,

Lumen outputs are given for tubes run on a reference
ballast. Commercial ballasts can operate tubes at different Fig. (1) Light Output Relative to Ambient Temperature
characteristics and a ballast lumen factor will be given for
each ballast to determine actual light output figures.

Effects of High Frequency Operation

A characteristic of fluorescent tubes is that their efficacy
(lumens/watt) increases with fiequency. Increasing the
frequency of operation from that of the normal mains
supply of s0ló0Hz to 2513OkHz improves tube efficacy by
approxilnately 1070.

Electronic ballasts also consume less power than wi¡ewound

ballasts, giving a further increase in cìrcuit efficacy and 1
producing less heat.
By designing the electronic ballasts to operate tubes at 9570 tE
of bare tube lumens in an ambient temperature of 25"C, I /
watts are reduced by about 14%. At more frequently o
É
encountered operating temperatures of approximately 35"C
'¿,
¡ /
to 40"C light output is equivalent to that in a conventional
cìrcuit and at higher temperatures it is better.

A power saving of around 20% can be achieved over Frequency kHz

levels- Fig. (2) Variation of tube efficacy with operating frequency.

Life and Lumen Depreciation Factors
The Effects of Switching 200
When a tube is operating, a small amount of the electron
emissive material on the cathodes is continually consumed, H 1s0
but at starting a relatively large amount is dislodged. End of J
life is reached when no active emitter remains on the Ê
F
roo
cathode and the tube is unable to sta¡t.
A frequently switched tube will fail much earlier than one 5so
that is hardly switched at all but in the latter case its light
0
output will have fallen very low befo¡e actual failu¡e. 05101520253035
The graph shows the effect on life of different switching FREQUENCY OF SWTCHING PER 24 HOURS
cycles.

Economic Life
Most tubes employed in today's modem environment
operate with an extended period (greater than 3 hours)
between switchings which results in long lives, and because
of this due consideration should be given to the "lighting
economics".
The economic factor arises from the gradual degradation in
the tube's light output during operation due to
deterioration of the phosphors whereby it becomes
desirable to replace the tube prior to actual failure. The
favourable economics of Polylux tubes become apparent
when compared with other tubes because of theìr superior
lumen maintenance ch¿racteristics.

One definition of 'economic life'is the time at which the
light output has fallen to 7070 of the initial (100 hou¡)
figure. This is defined as the time during which the light
output - as a result of mortality and light reduction
dropped 30% from the initial light output.
Planned Lighting Maintenance
Themost sçnsible wayto arrange tubereplacement is to choose
a planned lighting maintenance system. This ensures that:
- has a) The installation maintains a uniform appearance.
b) The rìsk of damage to the control gear by tubes failing is
¡educed.
c) Cleaning of the luminaires can be unde¡taken at the same
time as the lamp change, at little extra cost.

The few individual tubes which faii between the planned

replacement times should be replaced immediately.

Ultra Violet
These are standard fluorescent tubes in which the phosphor
emits long wave ulha-violet (UV-A) ¡adiation together
with a small amount of visible light. The peak output at
3ó5nm attracts insects and makes these tubes especially
useful in insect traps. Other applications ìnclude chemical
processing and some printing processes.

Caution
These tubes emit UV radiation - recommendations for their
safe use can be found in the publication "Protection against

General Information
British Standards
Fluorescent tubes described in this catalogue conform to
British Standard 1853 and Intemational Standard IEC81
where applicable.
GE Thom holds Licence no. 5247 for the manufacture of
fluorescent tubes to BS 1853.
Marking of rated wattage on tubes
The wattage dissipated and lumen output of any discharge
lamp, including a fluorescent tube, depend mainly on the
cha¡acteristics of the ballast with which the particular lamp
is operated and on the maìns supply voltage at any
given time.
Because of this the marking of a rated wattage on any given
fluorescent tube does not necessarily indicate the wattage
which the tube is intended to dissipate in any given
circuit arrangement.
The appropriate fluorescenl tube and associated ballast
specifications list the ¡ated or nominal wattage of any given
tube type and also the'objective wattage'which is the
actual target wattage the tube should dissipate when
operated under prescribed conditions in association with
a mid-point reference ballast.
Ballast Lumen Factor
The ratib of the light output of the lamp when the ballast
under test is operated at its rated voltage, compared with
the light output of the same lamp operated with the
appropriate reference ballast supplied at its rated voltage
and frequency.
Electrical Data
This is given for standard conhol gear operated in 240V
5OHz tube ci¡cuits. Average performance is determined at
25"C in accordance with BS 2818. The circuit watts quoted
may be reduced by up to 570 when operating in somã
luminaires because circuit watts reduce as the lamp
operating temperature rises.
Tube Grades
There are different grades ol tube to suit varioui types
of control gear and the côrrect type must be used to obtain
satisfactory starting performance.
Standard 26mm and 38mm Diameter Tubes
Altstandard THORN 2ómm and 38mm diameter argon
filled tubes are lor use in all luminaires.
Fo¡ starterless circuits the metal chassis must extend the full
length of the tube, be not more than 20mm from it, and be
bonded to earth. Switchless start ci¡cuits must be used only
on 200-250V 5OHz supplies where the neutral conducto¡
is at earth potential. 2ómm diameter Krypton filled
(Pluslux and Polylux) tubes are suitable for switchstart,
Vivatronic or electronic ballast start only.
z0
Miscellaneous Tubes
Metal Strip Tubes (MCFA/U)
These are supplied for use where ea¡thed metalwork is not
adjacent to the tube. A metallic conducting strip is
cemented to the outside of the tube, connected to both
caps, which must be earthed. A limited range of the more
popular tubes in ó00-1800mm lengths, can be supplied with
metal strip.
Coloured Tubes
Red and Gold tubes are only for use on starter switch
circuits and not switchless-start circuits.
Colour Temperatures for Fluorescent Tubes
The term'colour temperature'should shictly be applied
only to spectral dishibutions that give chromaticity
co-o¡dinates close to the black body locus. Thus in
fluorescent tube colours the 'colour temperature' is merely
an indication of the location of the chromaticity
co-ordinates on a colour chart.
The 'colour temperatures' should not be used as a guide for
photographic purposes.
Spectral Distribution
Spechal distribution data is given in graphical form.
Horizontal scales are wavelengths in nanometres
(10'' metres).
Vertical scales are power in milliwatts per 5 nanometre
band width per 1000 lumens for a 1500mm tube at 58W or
ó5W as appropriate.
Lumen Outputs
The lumen outputs quoted in this catalogue are measured at
25"C in accordance with BS 1853.
Note that lumen outputs of individual tubes are within the
limits specified in BS 1853 according to rating.
Initial Lumens
lnitial lumens are measured after 100 hours operation.
Lumens During Life
Lamp outputs at 2000 hours are also included as a guide to
lighting engineen planning scheme layouts. Lumen output
beyond 2000 hours decreases by 270 to 470 per 1000 hours
use according to the colour and loading (see curves on
preceding pages).
BI-PIN/BC Adaptor GB 1515
Adaptor converting bi-pin lamp cap to BC. The overall
length of a 15OOmm bi-pin tube with these adaptors does

Low Pressure Sodium

The visible energy from a low pressure sodium lamp is
concentrated at wavelengths of 589 and 589.ómm.
This monochromatic ¡adiatron occurs close to the peak
sensitivity of the human eye and therefore provides the
highest luminous efficacy of lamp types for general
lighting purposes. lt is this characteristic which produces
the familiar yellow colour.
Description
SOX lamps consist of a low pressure sodium discharge
operating in a U-shaped arc tube which is mounted in a
tubular ouLer bulb. This bulb has an intemal infra-red
reflecLing coating to provide thermal insulation and to
ensure the optimum operating temperature of the arc tube.
Applications
The high efficacy results in low power costs which makes
the lamps particularly suitable where long operating hours
are required. The main applications are for external Lghting
- roads and pathways - and security lighting - car parks,
subways, storage areas, construction sites. SOX lamps are
also useful where monochromatic radiation is required for
scientilic and graphic arts purposes. The lamps should not
be used whe¡e colour discrimination is required.

High Pressure Sodium Description

High pressure sodium lamps offer a distinct improvement in
colour appearance and colour rendering in comparison with
low pressure sodium lamps.
SON lamps combine high efficacy, long life and
exceptiondlly good lumen maintenance which makes them
particularly suitable for situations where operating costs are
high. SON lamps emit a pleasant golden-white light with
adequate colour rendering for colour discrimination
purposes.
The compact size of the lamps offers flexibility for
luminairË design and better åptical control, píticularly with
the clear tubulãr version.
SON lamps consist of a high pressure sodium discharge
operating withrn a sintered alumina arc tube which is
mounted in an outer glass bulb. Thìs bulb may be either
tubular clear or diffuse elliptical shape.
All THORN lamps are marked /r\ which indicates that they
are suitable for use with extemal ignitor circuits. External
starting simplifies lamp construction and is very reliable.
Applications
The combination of high efficiency, good lumen
maintenance.and long life make this lamp suitable {or many
applications both intemal and exterio¡. Warehouses,
'roadways,
floodlighting and security lighting.

Operating Position
Universal. IEC óó2 gives specific operating condìtions for

Metal Halide - KOTORARC Operating Positions:

ln terms of development, KOLORARC lamps are a
progression from standard mercury lamps. The luminous
efficacy is almost 2570 higher and the lamps have
excellent colour rendering abilities and a clean white
colour appearance.
Description
KOLORARC lamps consist of a high pressure discharge in
mercury vapour with MetalHalide additives, operating in a
quartz arc tube. It is these metallic additives which provide
the excellent colour performance. The quartz arc tube is
mounted in an elliptical glass bulb which is either clear for
the MBI version, or coated internally with a fluorescent
phosphor for the MBIF lamp.
Applications
KOLOMRC lamps are ideally suited for applications
where high quality white light is required. They are
particularly suitable for commercial interiors, indushial
workshops and exhibition areas but are also suitable for
situations whe¡e television cameras are likely to be used or
where any filming is likely to take place. Finally, the MBI
version lends itself to floodlighting applications as the
clear lamp allows good optical control when used in
suitable luminaires.
BUH Base Up to Horizontal. Operates in any position
- between cap up and cap 15" below horizontal.
H - Horizontal. Primarily designed to operate
* 15' of horizontalbut canbe usedup to * ó0"
of horizontal.
BU - Base Up. Permitted operating position is base up
within + 30" of the vertical.
BD - Base down. Permitted operating position is base
down within * 30" of the vertical.
U - Universal. Suitable for operating in any position.
Not all permutations of wattage and operating position
are available with KOLORARC lamps. Please check
before ordering.
Notes
It is important that these lamps are operated in suitably
enclosed luminaires with UV absorbing cover glasses.
Full enclosure will also retaìn the fragments of glass in
the unusual evenl of the outer bulbs shattering at the end
of life.
As there are no intemational standards for Metal Halide
lamps such as these it is important to check the
compatibility of lamp and control gear.

commercial lnteriors, particularly when used in conjunction
with the new range of slim uplighters which have been
specially designed for Arcstream.
Finally, being single-ended, installation and maintenance is
much easier than for double-ended versions.
