Inside this protection tube there is a reflector, sitting behind the T5 tube and filling the outer tube for half. This T5 tube is connected directly to the 230 V grid voltage.

This article shows the measurement results. Many parameters are also found in the Eulumdat file.

Philips 2x1200mm TL high CRI in luminaire

Posted by Marcel van der Steen in CFL Light Bulbs, Light measurements No Comments»

This article reports of a measurement of two FLs of 1200 mm in a luminaire. In this article many interesting lamp parameter results are presented as well as an Eulumdat file. The tubes used here are high CRI tubes, which at the cost of a high color rendering capability deliver light less efficiently.

There has been done a second measurement of these tubes in the luminaire, when the tubes have burned 100 hours, which is normally requested as a burn-in period. For the tube received here, it was not sure whether these have been burned-in before these were measured.

Anyway,  second measurement was done after 100 hours and the results remained the same. So they might have been burned in already, or the burn-in did not have any effect at all.
