High pressure Mercury lamps Kolorlux Standard 50W, 80W, 125W, 250W and 400W Kolorlux Deluxe 50W, 80W, 125W, 250W and 400W Product information
Kolorlux Mercury vapor lamps are often used due to their relative efficiency. Phosphor coated bulbs offer a better color rendering index than either high or low pressure sodium lamps. Kolorlux lamps are available in both standard and deluxe versions with an elliptical coated bulb shape and wattages of 50-400.

Features
Kolorlux Mercury lamps offer white light with good color rendering (40-53 Ra). You can depend on these lamps for long term reliability and their modest to low operating costs. Mercury lamps provide intense lighting for a wide range of applications.

Survival rate and lumen maintenance

The graph shows the survival of representative groups of lamps operated under controlled conditions at 10 hrs/start.Lamp life in service will be affected by a number of parameters, such as mains voltage deviations, switching cycle, luminaire design and control gear. The information given is intended to be a practical guide in determining lamp replacement schedules. Kolorlux 50W

Supply voltage
Lamps are suitable for supplies in the range 220V to 250V50/60Hzforappropriatelyratedserieschoke(reactor) ballasts. Supplies outside this range require a transformer (conventional,highreactanceorCWA)toensurecorrectlamp operation. Lamps start and operate at 10% below the rated supply voltage when the correct control gear is used. However in order to maximise lamp survival, lumen maintenance and colour uniformity the supply voltage and ballast design voltage should be within 3%. Supply variations of 5% are permissible for short periods only. Effect of supply voltage variation

Control gear
To achieve correct lamp starting, performance and life, it is important that lamp and control gear are compatible and suitably rated for the supply voltage at the luminaire.

Ballasts
LampsarefullycompatiblewithballastsmanufacturedforhighpressuremercurylampstoIEC60188.Ballastsshouldcomply withspecificationsIEC60262.

Ballast thermal protection

Use of ballasts incorporating thermal cut-out is not a specific requirement but is a good optional safety measure for the installation.

Ballast voltage adjustment
