GE Manufactured 25 watt "F40"

aka F48"/25W/UTSL

• This lamp is being made available in a variety of packaging configurations, including

palletized quantities of 550. (Exhibit 1A)

• Lamps have been obtained in the open market, and shipped by an electrical distributor

to an industrial customer. (Exhibit 2)

• The lamps are priced lower than the 40 watt F40 Cool White lamps or 34 watt F40

Cool White lamp, thereby increasing their attractiveness for commercial installations.

(Exhibit 1C)

• Although the lamps obtained were manufactured prior to the October 31st cut-off date,

there is a clear intention to continue manufacture after that date by the inclusion of the

lamp as a new item in a price schedule effective November 1st, 1995. (Exhibit 1B)

• The inclusion of the product in a Distributor Net Price Schedule implies availability in

a variety of sales channels, in addition to residential. (Exhibit 1D)

• Much of the above activity undermines the assurances given at the July 19th DOE

public workshop to discourage this product in the commercial market. On the

contrary, it emphasizes the impracticality of trying to limit specific lamps to specific

end users or applications.

(Exhibit 3. P.194-195)

• Photometric tests, using both the new 25 watt reference standard created for this lamp

and a 40 watt reference standard, show that this product performs as if it is electrically

identical to a 40 watt lamp. To be in compliance with EPACT, the CRI should be >69

at the higher wattage . (Exhibit 4)

• A new ANSI standard has been proposed for these 25 watt lamps. The proposer has

suggested that the new standard be incorporated in ANSI C78.1 - 1991. The normal

procedure would be for any new standard sheet to be published with the date of

approval, and endorsed "supplement to ANSI C78.1 - 1991". This would prevent the

lamp being retroactively included in a standard referenced in DOE's Interim Final

Rule. (Exhibit 5)

is the, of the options that we've got, the 25 watt

cool white solution is elegant, but is that going to

get DOE's endorsement, bearing in mind that it can

be used in the 40 watt circuit; and in that 40 watt

application would not comply with the precise

requirements of Impact. And there I'm afraid I am

going to have to involve DOE.

MR. YANDEK: I guess we don't necessarily

agree with Peter, feel that it's a DOE issue. So

18 here's a case where we don't have, I think, a clear

19 NEMA consensus, but we feel that there are solutions

20 that fall under the EPACT; so we would, from a G.E.

21 standpoint, say we do not think there is necessarily

22 a DOE issue here at all.

to be -- is that enough to discourage the commercial

market from outright purchase?

MR. YANDEK: We will discourage the

commercial market. Our sales efforts, our

literature --

MR. LOGEE: Is the commercial marker

segmented enough that that will work fairly well?

MR. YANDEK: We believe ours is.

MR. LOGEE: Yes, Al?

MR. ROUSSEAU: Another thing that -we're

doing also is introducing some standards into ANSI,

and hopefully it could be something that could be

pointed out similar to the case of the cold

temperature lamps where we can say "Here's an ANSI

standard.

There are certain parameters to this

standard. If these lamps don't meet these

parameters, then they're clearly a 40 watt lamp and

it's a fraud. It's not a lamp that is designed in

fact for this service."

MR. LEVY: I have a question for you,

Peter. It wasn't clear to me what you were

suggesting that DOE should be doing.

Test Number: 964006

Description: I - F48"T12/25W/UTSL GE Utility Shoplite lamp.

Seasoning: The sample lamp was seasoned for 100 hours.

Purpose: To photometer the sample for lumens and elecrtical parameters.

Equipment: 3 meter integrating sphere

Photo Research Spectrascan, Model 702AM S/N 2103

Yokogawa AC Digital power meter, Type 2533 S/N 48AU0466

Yokogawa AC/DC Digital power meter, Type 2533E S/N 53BU0687

Elgar A.C. line conditioner, Series 5000B

1000W PS52 incandescent standard (#11) traceable to N.I.S.T.

Three 40T12/CW fluorescent lumen standards traceable to N.I.S.T.

Procedure: The sample lamp was photometered horizontally at 300.0 input volts on a

25W/48T12/RS reference ballast setting and at 236.0 input volts on a F40T12/RS

reference ballast setting. The color calibration of the 3 meter sphere was verified using

a 1000 watt standard traceable to N.I.S.T. SPD data was measured from 390nm to

730nm using the Photo Research Spectrascan. Lumen data was calibrated with three

F40T12/CW standards traceable to N.I.S.T. Measurements were taken after the lamp

reached stabilization.

Fluorescent Lamp

Authorized by: David Mullen, Chairman

Ref. Doc. C78-2/1072A

Statement: This lamp was designed as a substitution for use with shoplight ballasts.

It is not for use on standard, high-power factor 40W/48T12/GI3/RS

CBM approved ballasts, or substantially short lamp life can occur. It

is proposed that this draft become part of ANSI C78.1-1991.

Q. Do you approve this proposed Supplement to ANSI C78.1-1991?

NOTES

1 These values are for lead circuits only. For lag circuits, add 3%.

2 These values are for crest factors of 1.55 to 2.0. Add 10% for crest factors less than 1.55.

3 Applies unless other means are provided to avoid instant starting.
