The MASTER PL-C 4-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 four-pin base without the 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.
Well adapted to be used in combination with electronic gear,
offering the possibility of controllable light output,
HF operation and independence from the supply system.
It is for instance, possible to use AC and DC supply and
a wide range of supply voltages. Dimming is possible.
The lamp characteristics are influenced by operating conditions
and control gear used. 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.
- General or supplementary lighting in professional environments or the home.
- Recessed or surface-mounted downlighters, wall units, pendant lamps and table lamps.
