1) Approximate initial lumens.The lamp lumen output is based upon lamp performance after 100 hours of operating life, when the output is measured during operation on a reference ballast under standard laboratory conditions.
For expected lamp lumen output, commercial ballast manufacturers can advise the appropriate ballast factor for each of their ballasts when they are informed of the designated lamp.The ballast factor is a multiplier applied to the
designated lamp lumen output.
2) Design lumens are the approximate lamp lumen output at 40% of the lamp’s rated average life.This output is based upon measurements obtained during lamp operation on a reference ballast under standard laboratory conditions.
3) Average life under specified test conditions with lamps turned off and restarted no more frequently than once every 3 operating hours. Lamp life is appreciably longer if lamps are started less frequently.

†This fluorescent lamp is better for the environment because of its reduced mercury content.All fluorescent lamps
contain mercury for effective operation, however, Philips lamps with ALTO®Lamp Technology average 70% less
mercurythan the 2001 industryaverage for fluorescent lamps up to sixty inches which are not TCLP-compliant.
