    ligbting at tts finestAIMOST since its inception in 1938, fluorescenrlighting has led a specracular career. A com-pletely new type of illumination, it producedlight not in brilliant "spots", but in longluminous tubes - restfuliy diffused, lackingin glarc, r,vith shadows kept to a minimum.Cooler, more efilcient, it was easier to see andwork by than any light availabTe before.Fluorescent lighting, infact, was so obviouslysuperior that within 15 years it supplied moreelectric lighting than aII other sources in thenation combined. And it has now become thestandard source of illumination for new con-

    struction - and one of the best methods ofmodernizing older buildings. In srores, oftces,factories, homes, schools - just about evefy-where - fluorescent is upping the level oflighting and working eficiency.No one expects fluorescent lighting to entirelysupplant the famrliar incandescent type, whichcontinues to have its specialized applications.But for the uniform general lighting of broadareas, fluorescent has no equal in its efitienc1as a" Iight-producer and in the quality of thelight it produces. Let's examrne a few of itsmajor advantages.

    Sylvania introduced the first ready-to-plug-in fiuorescentindustrial unit using standard lamps - a complete fixturecontaining t$'o 40-watt lamps. In 1940 Sylvania increasedIamp life with an improved cathode. From 1941 to 1945Sylvania developments in industrial iighting proved enor-mously valuable to the war effort.Aithough S,vivania fluorescent alread'y is the {rnest in thfieId - Sylvania's aim is ahvavs to make it better. Thattakes research and mare research. And Sylvania's recordis an outstanding one. In its research laboratories, scientistsare constantly at work on problems in chemistry, physics,metallurg,v, chemistry, electricitl', electronics and optics -searching for the continued improvements n'hich makeSylvania fluorescent bettet tadal -anC better still taffizrrlu.

    Since 1934 - Syluania Has Pioneered InFluorescent lighting is definitely an Electronic Age develop-ment. Like the X-ray, television and radar, the fluorescentlamp actually is an electronic device. But, though simple inprinciple it requires great care in manufacture and took yearsof research to develop.In 7934, S1.lvania rt'as experimenting r'vith the first lorv-pressure fluorescent lamps, one of r.vhich is illustratedabove. S.vlvania pioneered in developing a method for apply-ing the fluorescent coating to the lamp tube. And Sylvaniawas among the first to introduce the standarcl fluorescentlamp in 1938.From then on, Sylvania has been a leader in the field influorescent improvements - which have included fixturesand wiring circuits as well as the lamps themselves.

Bv an exclu-sive nerv process this phospl-ror makes the fluorescentcoaeing on a Svlvania lamp not onll' brighter to startu,ith but makes it lrry bright for a far longer periocl .Result ]'ou get a 6o/sbontts of light a real increasein lighting r.alue at n0 extra cost.LUMEN EFFICIENCY DOUBTEDWhen the first u-hite fluorescent lamps reached the mar-ket in 1938, their ratecl light output rvas 30 lumens peru,att. In less than a decacle, Sylvania had doubled lightolrtput to 60 lumens per watt. Toda,v, througJr the devel-opment of the nerv stabilizecl phosphor coatings, actual1r-rmen output througl-rout life for S1-lvania fluorescentlamps is cousistmrll Ligl:er than publishecl ratinqs.LAMP LIFE TRIPTEDIn general, a lluorescent lamp rr-ill last as long as thecoating on the tungsten filaments of its cathocles. Untila ferv vears ago, the best cathocie coatings lr'ere rated tolast onl\. 25OO hours. Then S1-1r-ania scientists came uprvith an amazingner.v discovery that tripled the rated lifeof thecathocle coating. As a result, 1'or-rr S1'1r'ania lamptodar- is rated for 7500 hours of use. This means, for exam-

    p1e, that the present average service life of a Syh'aniastandard preheat fluorescent lamp lvould be abor"rt. Zrf years in stores r I years in factories. 3 years in ofiices . 6 ,vears in schoolsoJ vears in 1.our bathroom or kitchen at homeBRIGHTNESS MAINTAINED TONGERNormallv, arry lamp, incanclescent or fluorescent, loses acertain amount of brightness rvith age. Ancl because itn as largely impossible to preciict light output afrer athousand or more hours' use light or"rtput ratingsapplied to initial bilghtnes: onfu - until very recentiv.Todal-, because of Svivania improvements in the fluores-cent coating ancl more exact control of the quantity ofargon gas inside each iamp, Sylvanra light output ratingsare published not only for initial brightness but also for,u"iug" light output throughout the rated lamp life.IAMP COTORS RIGIDLY STANDARDIZEDKeeping lamp colors air,vavs the same is an extremel,vtricly problem. To obtain the various tones of light influoresCent lamps, fluorescent cr1'stals must be blendedto strict formulis. Only by the most rigid controls andconstant checking is it possible to assure color constancyalnravs the same for each color the length of eachlamp. Svlvania lamp colors are as uniform and standard-tzed as scientific manufacturing can make them.

    FTUORESCENTAll fluorescent lamps require ballasts. Syivania does notmanufacture ballasts, but all types needed for use withSylvania iamps are avallable from other manufacrurers.The use of a ballast. is necessary because any fluorescenriamp is fundamentally an electricai discharge source andits current would rise to a value which would destroythe lamp, unless controlled. The ballast is the conrroi

    BALLASTSdevice which limits the current to the proper operaringvalue.The ballast must be designed for the specific size and tvpeof lamp used, as well as for the voltage and frequency bfthe electrical system. It is necessary to use the correcctype of ballast for each lamp to prevenr filament damage,which mav cause burnout.

    "Cold cathode" differs from the usual ''hot cathode" type of fluores-cent lighting in its use of a higher electrical voltage and its longerlife. The resulting light output is somervhat lower than for hotcathode types because operating currents are limited by electrodedesign. No starting srvitches are necessary and only one connectionis made to each end of the tube.Sylvania cold cathode fluorescent sign tubing is of the same high qual-iiy as all other Sylvania fluotescent products. It features high surface-biightness, better light maintenance, easier bending, uniformity ofcoating, controlled manufacture of phosphors..

    Ansuers toregardingWhy do preheol lomps require o slorler?The preheat lamp operates on a lower voltage than isrequired to start the lamp. A starter is used to permicpreheating of the cathodes sufflciently to start theflow of electrons. The starter switch then opens and avoltage surge establishes the arc necessary for thelamp to emit 1ight.Why does o fluoreseent lomp require o bollqst?A fluorescent lamp is fundamentally an electricalgaseolls clischarge source. If the current of such asoufce \{ere not regulated, it rvould rapidl,v rlse to avalue r.vhich rvouicl destrov the iamp. The ballast is acontrol device u'hich limits the cllrrent to the properoperating r.alue .Why Do Ropid Slort Lomps Require No Slorters?Both filaments of a Rapid Start lamp are independentlyheated all the time the lamp is in operation on a RapidStart ballast. This continuous heating keeps the fila-ments active electronically. When the lamps arestarted the filaments heat quickly for about 1 second.Then the avallable voltage strikes the arc.Rapid Start lamps also give good results when used inpreheat circuits with starters and are recommended forsuch service. Their life and iight-output ratings are thesame in either type of circuit.

    Con fluorescent lighting be meosured likeincondescent lighting?Yes. There are two n.pes of light meters rvhich can beused. One t1-pe reqr-rires a correction factor in orcler tomeasure fluorescent. The other measures an1 tvpe ctflighting - incandescent, mercurv vapor, or fluores-cent regarclless of color composition.

    lf Whot offecls lhe life of fluorescenl lomps?The electrodes of a preheat fluorescent lamp take amuch more severe shock during the starting periodthan during the actual lighting period. Therefore, thelonger the lighting period, the more economically thefluorescent lamps will operate and the longer thevlast. Not only too-frequent starting, but also lowvoltage, improperly timed starters, cold temperaturesand faulty ballasts will all shorten lamp life. Undernormal conditions, a fluorescent lanrp lasts much long-er than an incandescent.

    Whql cquses lomp dorkening?As a lamp ages, genetal darkening along the enlength of the tube occurs as a normal condition,ro mercurv sreaking. Heavy blackening at the eof the tube may occur from material given off byelectrodes and indicates that the end of lamp lifefieaf.Whot cquses lomps to flosh on ond sff?In older lamps, flashing sholr's rhey are nearingend of their use. Flashing in nelver iamps maycausect by improper rviring rvith the leads "cricrosseci" so that the starter socket of one lamp is cnected to the lampholder of the other. Defectstarters or ballasts, lorv r.oltage, lorv temperaturor r-lefective .lamps also mav account for flashing.How do improper volloge condilions offectfluorescenl lomps?Although fluorescent lamps are not as sensitivevoltage variations as incandescent lamps, they mbe operated within the voltage range specified onballast for proper performance. Low voltage decrealight output and lamp life, makes starting uncertaff:.*ffi ii,?i:31::t:;:l:,,T:t* j':r; ;overheat the ballast and cause it to fail.Do slorlers burn oul?A fluorescent starter rvill outlasc several fluorescelamps as long as it operates uncler normal conditionHow do you figure the lotql wolloge offluorescenl lighring syslems?Lamps operating on their proper electrical characistics consume their rated wattase. A two-lamp blast uses about one fourth the wattage of the tlamps it controls. Two 4O-rvatt lamps with their twlamp ballast will use together about 100 watts.singie lamp ballast will uie about one third the nuber of watts as the lamp it controls.Does lemperoture qffecl fluorescenl lompoperolions?Fluorescent lamps give besr performance lvhen teperature is betlveen 60 and 90 degrees F.
