MASTER PL-C 2-pin

The MASTER PL-C 2-pin range of lamps forms part of

the compact fluorescent nonintegrated family of lamps.

Compact long-arc low-pressure mercury discharge lamp with

a clear glass envelope consisting of four parallel narrow

fluorescent tubes welded together at the bottom and near

the ends.

It has a two-pin base with a housing incorporating

the special instant starter and capacitor.

It is equipped with two preheated tungsten electrodes and filled

with a mixture of saturated mercury vapour and an inert buffer gas.

For operation on AC mains supply via a conventional ballast.

Dimming is not possible.

The lamp characteristics are influenced by

operating conditions and control gear used.

A radio-interference suppression capacitor is installed.

The lamp performance is strongly governed by

the temperature of the coolest spot, which is influenced by

the lamp position.

MASTER PL-C is a breakthrough in compact fluorescent lighting.

By making use of the unique Philips-invented bridge technology,

light output has been optimised for the relatively high temperatures inside

the luminaire, providing up to 6 % higher system light output.

Furthermore the advanced coating technologies result in 12 % lumen

maintenance improvement at average rated life.

MASTER PL-C lamps contain only 3 mg of mercury.

Applications

- General or supplementary lighting in

professional environments or the home.

- Residential and public outdoor lighting,

recessed or surfacemounted downlighters,

wall units, pendant lamps and table lamps.
