Amalgam Technology for Superior Lumen Maintenance
Unlike standard CFLs, the Dulux T/E 32W utilizes amalgam to maintain higher light output in both hot and cold operating environments. This makes it particularly effective in enclosed fixtures and recessed architectural cans where heat buildup can often reduce lamp performance. With a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 82, it ensures a vibrant and natural appearance of interior spaces. It is designed for operation on high-frequency electronic ballasts, which should include an end-of-life (EOL) shutdown circuit for maximum safety and to prevent socket overheating.
- Ecologic® Design: Passes federal TCLP test criteria for classification as non-hazardous waste.
- Optimized Performance: Engineered for peak lumen output in high-ambient temperature environments.
- Flicker-Free Operation: Compatible with electronic dimming and high-frequency ballasts.
- Standardized Fit: 5.6-inch (142mm) MOL fits most standard 32W commercial downlight housings.
