Sylvania-Osram 20585 FT40DL/835/RS/ECO

DULUX® L ECOLOGIC®

T5 Compact Fluorescent Lamps

SYLVANIA DULUX L T5 lamps are high lumen, single-ended twin-tube lamps that provide lumen outputs similar to 2', 3' and 4' linear fluorescent lamps, yet are half the length. With lumen outputs up to 4800 and lamp efficacies up to 87 lumens per watt, these compact lamps can be used in indirect as well as direct applications.

QUICKTRONIC ballasts are available to operate FT18DL, FT24DL, FT36DL, FT40DL/RS and FT55DL lamps. The QUICKSENSE circuitry in these ballasts provides the end-of-life protection required by NEMA* for these lamps. The QUICK 60+® warranty program applies to DULUX L lamp/QUICKTRONIC ballasts installations.

Application Information

Applications

• Indirect fixtures
• Landscape lighting
• Portable sports lighting
• Recessed and surface mounted fixtures
• Sign lighting
• Stage and set lighting
• Task lighting
• Wall sconces, wall washing fixtures

Application Notes

1. The FT18DL and FT18DL/RS lamps are not electrically interchangeable.
2. The FT24DL, FT36DL and FT40DL/RS lamps: various methods of operation (preheat, rapid start, instant start, programmed start) possible.
3. Lamp life may vary with method of operation.
4. FT24DL: 27W on RS ballasts.
5. FT36DL: 39W on RS ballasts.

Key Features & Benefits

• High lumen single-ended twin-tube lamps
• 18 through 55 Watts
• 2' x 2' fixture provides equal lumen output to a 2' x 4' fixture
• 55 Watt lamps provide high lumen output for indirect and higher mounting height applications
• 3000K, 3500K, 4100K
• Excellent color rendition, CRI of 82
• Operate on OSRAM QUICKTRONIC® systems with QUICKSENSE® circuitry
• Passes Federal TCLP tests
•  

• Minimum starting temperature is a function of the ballast; consult the ballast manufacturer.
• There is a NEMA supported, industry issue where T2, T4, and T5 fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps operated on high frequency ballasts may experience an abnormal end-of-life phenomenon. This end-of-life phenomenon can resultin one or both of the following: 1. Bulb wall cracking near the lamp base. 2. The lamp can overheat in the base area and possibly melt the base and socket. NEMA recommends that high frequency compact fluorescent ballasts have an end-of-life shutdown circuit which will safely and reliably shut down the system in the rare event of an abnormal end-of-life failure mode described above. The final requirements of this system are yet to be defined by ANSI. For additional information refer to NEMA papers on their WEBSITE at www.NEMA.org.
• These lamps may also be operated on rapid start circuits. On rapid start circuits the 24 watt lamp operates at 27 watts and the 36 watt lamp operated at 39 watts. Rated lamp life is unchanged.
• Lumen output and life rated on high frequency operation.
• Approximate initial lumens after 100 hours operation.
• The life ratings of fluorescent lamps are based on 3 hr. operating cycles under specified conditions and with ballast meeting ANSI specifications. If operating cycle is increased, there will be a corresponding increase in the average hours life.
• Minimum starting temperature is a function of the ballast; consult the ballast manufacturer.
• SYLVANIA ECOLOGIC fluorescent lamps are designed to pass the Federal Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) criteria for classification as non-hazardous waste in most states. TCLP test results are available upon request. Lamp disposal regulations may vary, check your local & state regulations. For more information, please visit www.lamprecycle.org
• Mean lumens are measured at 40% of average rated lamp life.
• The distance between any parts of the lamp and any conductive surface of the luminaire should not be less than 3 mm (applies to all high frequency ballasted systems).
• The lamp should not be in contact with any surface of the luminaire (applies to either high frequency or 60Hz ballasted systems).
