Lifetime and Lumen Maintenance

Philips LED T8 InstantFit Lamp has a lifetime of

70,000 hours for low and normal ballast factors

and 50,000 for high ballast factors. This is defined

as the number of hours when 50% of a large

group of identical lamps drops below 70% of its

initial lumens.

Application Notes

• Product is not dimmable.• Suitable for dry & damp locations.• Operating fixture ambient is -20°C and +55°C.• Always switch off power to the luminaire before commencing work.• Compatible only with instant-start ballasts. Please refer to www.philips.com/instantfit for the latest ballast compatibility guide.• Use shunted sockets with instant-start ballast & unshunted sockets with programmed-start ballasts.• Ensure that the lamp holders are free from any debris and/or containments and that the Philips InstantFit T8 LED Lamp pins are firmly seated in their lamp holders. For additional installation tips, please refer to www.philips.com/instantfit.• Philips LED T8 InstantFit lamps are not compatible with luminaires that use a remote starter.• Philips LED T8 InstantFit lamps are intended to retrofit, UL Listed surface mount, or type IC or non-IC recessed mount fluorescent luminaries with or without diffuser that use straight tubular lamps.

Please refer to www.philips.com/tled for the latest ballast compatibility guide.

* Tested to B50 L70 requirement.

• Pre-Heat Luminaire and Caution stating “CAUTION – RISK OF FIRE. DO NOT INSTALL IN A PRE-HEAT LUMINIRE”.Some older fluorescent luminaires contain a starter that heats the filaments for several seconds before starting the lamp. These luminaires are called Pre-Heat luminaires. They employ a starter which is typically housed in a small cylindrical metal can. The risk of fire hazard could possibly be due to zero impedance across the ballast when the filament is not present and the pins are shorted. This can cause higher currents through the circuit than when starting a fluorescent lamp, causing the ballast to overheat. The pins of the InstantFit TLED are not interenally shorted and therefore there is no current going through the circuit. InstantFit TLEDs have been tested to ensure there is no hazard when accidently installed in a pre-heat luminaire, however Philips does not guarantee proper operation.

• Philips LED T8 InstantFit lamps can be used with emergency ballasts that are approved by the emergency ballast manufacturer and Philips. Please refer to www.philips.com/tled for an approved list of emergency ballast that are compatible with the Philips LED T8 InstantFit lamps.
