Product Overview
The Sylvania 20886 CF32DT/E/IN/841/ECO is a premium lighting solution that excels where standard CFLs struggle. By utilizing Amalgam technology, this lamp maintains its maximum lumen output even when installed in enclosed or high-ceiling fixtures where heat can build up (optimum performance around 95°F). The triple-tube configuration provides a high concentration of light in a compact length, making it a perfect energy-efficient replacement for approximately 125W incandescent bulbs. As an Ecologic product, it meets strict TCLP requirements for mercury and lead levels.
Applications
- Commercial Downlights: Ideal for recessed ceiling fixtures in offices, schools, and hospitals.
- High-Temperature Environments: Perfect for enclosed fixtures or retail displays where heat accumulation is common.
- General Area Lighting: Suitable for lobbies, corridors, and industrial spaces requiring clear, high-contrast cool white light.
Safety and Installation
- Electronic ballast required. This 4-pin lamp is designed for high-frequency electronic ballasts only. Do not attempt to connect directly to line voltage.
- EOL Shutdown Circuit: NEMA recommends using ballasts equipped with an end-of-life (EOL) shutdown circuit to prevent base cracking or overheating.
- Stabilization Period: Full lumen ratings are achieved after the lamp has been seasoned for 100 hours.
