Reliability in performance
The enhanced P3 technology of Philips Lighting means a revolutionary
step in the professional application of halogen and discharge lamps. The
heat tolerance of these types of lamps was until recently an important
limitation in their use. For the range of Broadway halogen lamps and
MSR SA lamps, Philips introduces with Enhanced P3 a solution: Pinch
protection with a special protective chromium coating. Heat tolerance
of the Halogen as well as the MSR SA lamps is lifted to a level of no
less than 500°C. This means a reliable light source even under extreme
conditions, with some remarkable advantages.
Endurance in lighting
Defects in the pinch leads of halogen and discharge lamps are the most
common source of lamp failure.
The main reason for these defects are the extreme high temperatures
at which the pinch leads are exposed. Enhanced P3 means a significant
improvement in pinch protection, resulting in an extended lamp
lifetime.
Enhanced P3 technology stands for a longer lifetime and increased
reliability. And, of course, that is of major importance: the show must
go on! The combination with high efficiency in luminance and excellent
colour characteristics makes Philips Enhanced P3 lamps the most
successful in its kind in entertainment applications. And that is exactly
the place where these qualities are of crucial importance.
Efficiency in costs
Performing under severe conditions, without any further demands.
With that vision Philips Lighting developed the Entertainment lamps
range. Enhanced P3 is a perfect example of how the limits of cost
efficiency can be pushed.
A lower rate of lamp failure, reliable performance and greater safety
minimise the costs of operation.
It offers the end user more freedom to concentrate on the creative
use of entertainment lighting and, in the end, that is the only thing that
counts.
Freedom in the art of performing
Creativity needs space. In spotlight or projection applications the
limits in that respect are set by what is technical possible. Enhanced
P3 technology allows a lamp to be used in any burning position,
without affecting its performance. The creative freedom of the
lighting professional is not obstructed. Of course the same applies
to the luminaire designer. Enhanced P3 enables compact and flexible
design, meaning a strong impulse to the development of creative light
applications.
