The lamp carries aninitial lumen rating of 29,000 at300 watts and 30,000 lm at320 watts. It also has the highestceramic metal halide meanlumen rating of 80 percent.The first ceramic metalhalide lamp in a PAR64 envelopehas been introduced byGE Lighting. The lamp is ratedat 150 watts and can be operatedin any burning position onstandard ANSI M81, M102 orM142 ballasts with ignitors.They are available in color temperaturesof 3000 and 4000K,with the 3000K lamp having aCRI greater than 80 and the4000K lamp having a CRIgreater than 90. They have arated life of 8000 hours andhave the industry’s smallestcolor shift of +/-150K. Theselamps are available in spot,medium flood and wide floodbeam patterns.Expanding its family ofceramic metal halide lamps,GE Lighting has introducedthe only 300/320-W pulse startlamp that can be operated onANSI M132, M154 or M151ballasts. It is designed for a vertical,base up position in enclosedor open luminaires. Thelamp has a CRI rating of 92 at acolor temperature of 3700Kand carries the industry’sThis new 70-W ceramicmetal halide lamp in a T4 bulbshape has been introduced byPhilips Lighting. Rated at 6400initial and 5440 mean lumens,this lamp delivers the highestmean lumen output and CRI inthe industry. The lamp is ratedat 3000K having a CRI of 83.With a rated life of 6000 hours,this universal burning lamp isdesigned for use on electronicballasts only and features anintegrated UV blocking medium.It serves as an energy efficientalternative to halogensources for such applications asretail display lighting.This new compact 100-W,white SON lamp and ballastsystem has been jointly introducedby, Advance TransformerCompany and PhilipsLighting. The new systemaffords luminaire designers theopportunity to miniaturize fixturedesigns and increase fixtureefficiency. The lamp hasan efficacy of 50 lm/W, morethan twice that of tungstenhalogen lamps.High PRIorityIntroduced by OSRAM SYLVANIA, this mercury-free lampoffers improved efficacy over other Xenon based fluorescent systemsdue to a patented high frequency pulsed mode operation.The lamp electrodes have a dielectric barrier coating enablingthem to have long lamp life independent of switching cycles. Themercury-free technology offers nearly instant full and consistentlight output across a wide range of ambient temperatures. Thelamp also incorporates a 75 degree aperture to increase lamp surfacebrightness and eliminate the need for a reflector system.This year, we are acknowledginga trend of LED technologyimprovements and integratingLEDs into luminairesthat previously used conventionalsources. These itemswere displayed in the TrendRoom located in the bookstoreduring the Conference.Lumileds Lighting has introducedthis new 3200K LEDthat has a rated output of 22 or22 to 25 lm/W. Having a highR9 value, this LED has a colorrenderingindex of 85. Ratedlife is 50,000 hours with 70percent lumen maintenance.The output closely mimics thespectral output of halogen overthe visible range withenhanced blue content. The32-W LED module delivers performancecomparable to a 60-W PAR38 halogen lamp.This new linear LED moduleis the first to incorporate threechips in a single, surface mountLED and has been introducedby OSRAM SYLVANIA. Eachof the 30 LEDs on the linearmodule contains a red, blueand green chip that can beindependently controlled formaximum color flexibility.Each module can be subdividedinto multiples of 10 LEDsand operates on a 24-V DCpower supply. The modules arecompatible with any 0-10-Vcontroller.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . November . . . . . 2003 . . .
