P.O.L.A.R. TECHNOLOGY FOR MAXIMUM T5HO LIGHTING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

摘要

The T5HO lamp has penetrated traditional core marketsrnassociated with HID lighting such as Industrial andrnWarehouse applications. As this new lamp made inroadsrninto these markets – some of the shortcomings associatedrnwith fluorescent lamps have become more evident. Inrnparticular, fluorescent lamp lumen output is veryrndependent upon the ambient temperature surrounding thernlamp. As temperature increases beyond a certain point,rnlumen output drops significantly – requiring periodic over-lightingrnor acceptance of lower light levels. This paperrndiscusses the details and impact of this loss mechanism andrnpresents a unique, passive solution to minimize thesernlosses – resulting in greater energy savings and higherrnmaintained illumination levels.
