Product Overview

The Sylvania 20879 Dulux T/E offers superior reliability in fixtures where heat buildup is common. The integrated Amalgam (IN) technology ensures the lamp maintains its peak light output even as temperatures rise, making it far more efficient than non-amalgam alternatives in enclosed luminaires. As part of the Ecologic® initiative, this lamp is manufactured with reduced mercury to meet TCLP non-hazardous waste requirements. It is designed to work exclusively with electronic high-frequency ballasts, providing flicker-free operation and long life.

Applications

Recessed Downlights: Ideal for indoor lighting in offices, corridors, and lobbies.
Enclosed Fixtures: Amalgam technology protects lumen output in heat-restricted spaces.
Wall Sconces: Compact size provides high-intensity warm light for decorative lighting.

Safety and Installation

⚠️ Ballast Warning:

This 4-pin lamp must be used with electronic ballasts. It is not compatible with magnetic starters. Sylvania recommends ballasts with End-of-Life (EOL) shutdown circuits to prevent overheating at the end of the lamp's life.
