Product Overview
OCTRON Vivid Value ECOLOGIC lamps are built for color-critical applications at a price-oriented value point, with a 90 CRI and lead-free, TCLP-compliant glass construction that meets CA AB1109 hazardous substance restrictions. Actual rated life depends on ballast type and starts-per-hour: instant-start ballasts rate this lamp at 18,000-22,500 hours, while programmed rapid-start ballasts extend that to 22,500-27,000 hours at 12 hours per start.
This lamp is compatible with a wide ballast factor range (0.71 to 1.20), giving flexibility across magnetic and electronic ballast types. Operation below 50°F may affect lumen output or lamp operation – for cold-temperature applications, use an enclosed fixture or tube guards to maintain performance.
Compatible Applications
- Fixtures specified for a 32W T8 medium bi-pin lamp at 48" nominal length
- Color-critical commercial and retail applications requiring 90 CRI
- Fixtures running magnetic rapid-start (265mA) or electronic instant-start/rapid-start/programmed rapid-start T8 ballasts
- Direct replacement for the Sylvania 22439 or its FO32/V50/ECO ordering abbreviation
Before Ordering – Verify
- Confirm your ballast type and ballast factor fall within the 0.71-1.20 compatible range
- For instant-start operation, confirm your lampholders are shunted (the two bi-pin contacts connected to each other) – non-shunted "Circle I" lampholders are required otherwise
- Confirm 5000K color temperature matches the rest of your installation
- For cold-temperature or outdoor applications, confirm minimum starting temperature requirements for your specific ballast
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Always disconnect power before servicing or installing – wire per the ballast schematics and National Electric Code
- Handle by the base/end caps; avoid flexing or striking the glass tube
- Contains mercury – if broken, ventilate the area and follow EPA cleanup guidance
- Dispose of / recycle in accordance with state and local mercury-lamp regulations
Compliance
- TCLP compliant, lead-free glass
- Meets restrictions on hazardous substances consistent with CA AB1109
- RoHS Compliant
- Contains mercury – not for sale or shipment in CA, CO, HI, ME, MN, OR, RI, VT
