Benefits of T5/ECG systems
- Efficiency
- High lumen outputs in HO systems
- Long lamp life
- Secure EoL detection
- Innovative luminaire design
Efficiency example with fluorescent lamps T5 (� 16 mm) and electronic control gear
Only three T5 / HE lamps per luminaire instead of four L 18 W lamps T8

Reduction of installed light output of over 30 % possible.
High lumen outputs with HO-HIGH OUTPUT T5 systems
QUICKTRONIC for powerful HO lamps in 24 W, 39 W,49 W, 54 W and 80 W.
Optimized to maximum luminous flux - up to 6150 lm with 80 W HO (as compared to 5200 lm with L 58 W)
Long lamp life with HE / HO lamps T5 and ECG
| Rel. luminous flux [%] | |
| Burning time hours [thsd] | |
Less electrode stress and less phosphor greying due to optimized pre-heating of the lamps' filament and cut-off technology
Secure EoL detection is a MUST for high-end devices
Annex 17 of standard EN 61347-2-3 (VDE 0712-33) is called the End-of-Lamp-Life requirement. Since 1st September 2007, electronic control gears (ECG) for the operation of fluorescent lamps with a diameter of the tube of less than 26mm, have to be equipped with an EoL-function (shut-down in case of lamp failure). Affected are all devices for 16mm-fluorescent lamps T5 and compact energy saving lamps with pin-base and a T4- or T5 tube.
This amendment was due for security reasons:
At the end of a lamp�s life, high temperatures may appear in the filaments� area and in the worst case, the sockets may even melt. An ECG is expected to prevent this occurring by shutting down the system.
The safety End-of-Life shut-down from OSRAM, according to Test 2 (EoL T.2), ensures a particularly reliable disconnection at the end of a lamp�s life or in case of a lamp failure. With this Test 2, the asymmetrical wattage detection, we have chosen the strictest one for you and your customers� safety. The new generation of OSRAM ECG are exemplary with this feature.
