Philips QL Induction Lighting Systems - Philips Lighting

Reference (F)
Temperature
A generator and a lamp, like any other electrical device, generates
heat during normal operation. Planning for a maximum heat
dissipation with proper fixture design, installation planning will
minimize the possibility of a heat-related problem. Excessive
temperature will have an adverse effect on the QL system life.
Temperature conditions
The temperature of the amalgam does not exceed 105°C (221°F)
with a base-up angle less than 75°.
The temperature of the flange does not exceed 125° (257°F) in every
operating position.
The temperature of the bulb wall does not exceed 170°C (338°F).
The temperature of the power coupler flange-test point does not
exceed 90°C (194°F) for the QL 85W and 100°C (212°F) for the QL
55W & QL 165W.
Generator and/or power coupler
location
The generator and/or power coupler may be located in such a way
that thermal contact and/or heat flow is limited. Bad thermal contact
and/or low heat flow can result in an excessive lumen drop, lamp
extinguishing, or even early failure of the system. Check the OEM
Guide for proper mounting conditions.
More information about the QL systems, including the OEM guide can be found on the Philips
Internet, or requested at infoQL@philips.com.
