Lumen maintenance, Special power distribution

Lumen maintenance

Lumen maintenance graphs show light output performance through life for statistically representative batches of lamps operated under controlled nominal conditions with a 7 hours per start switching cycle. A common characteristic for all metal halide lamps is a reduction in light output and a slight increase in power consumption through life. Consequently there is an economic life at which lamp efficacy falls to a level when lamps should be replaced to restore design illumination levels. Where a quantity of lamps are installed within an area, consideration should given to a group lamp replacement programme

Special power distribution

Spectral Power Distribution curves are given in the following diagram

to maintain uniform illumination levels. Curves represent operating conditions for a 7 hours per start switching cycle, but less frequent switching will improve lumen maintenance.

Note: The representative curves are shown for Vertical Base-Up lamp orientation unless otherwise specified. Lumen maintenance performance is significantly improved in the Horizontal burning position.
