The colour designation of TL-E
lamps creates a certain
atmosphere. It varies from cool
white to warm white.The colour
designation is determined by the
colour temperature of the lamp.
TL-E lamps can be operated on
conventional and HF gear.
A specialty is the TL-EM-RS lamp
in 40W rating, provided with an
external ignition strip connected
to one of the electrodes via a
high ohm resistor.TL-EM-RS
lamps can be used in outdoor
applications (ambient
temperature of -18 °C).
Many decorative luminaires are
available for TL-E lamps because
of their special circular shape.
An added advantage is the
provision of non-directional light,
i.e. light which does not
emphasize either the length or
width of the area to be lighted.
Fluorescent lighting is efficient and
economical.The efficacy
(lumen/watt) of all fluorescent
lamps is high compared to most
other light sources and they can
be used with a wide range of
luminaires for various purposes.
TL-E are low-pressure mercury
discharge lamps with a clear
tubular envelope.The tube wall is
internally covered with a mixture
of fluorescent powders.
TL-E /80 colours are produced
with a tri-phosphor coating, which
leads to a good colour rendering
and a higher efficacy.
TL-E /80 colours are used in
'human applications', like schools,
offices, shops, theatres and so on.
TL-E Standard colours are
produced with a halophosphor
coating, which results in an
average colour rendering.
