diameter of an A19 lamp is 19-eighths of an inch, or
2-3/8", at its widest point. A T8 lamp has a diameter
of 8-eighths, or one inch.
Light Center Length (L.C.L.)
The distance between the center of the filament, or arc
tube, and a reference plane — usually the bottom of the

Glossary of Terms
Ambient Temperature
Ambient temperature which refers to the
temperature inside the fixture in the air
surrounding the fluorescent lamp or LED.
Fluorescent lamp light output and LED life are
affected by the ambient temperature.
Amperes
(“Amps”) A measure of electrical current. In
incandescent lamps, the current is related to
voltage and power as follows: Watts (power) =
Volts x Amps (current).
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
A consensus-based organization which
coordinates voluntary standards for the physical,
electrical and performance characteristics of
lamps, ballasts, luminaires and other lighting and
electrical equipment.
ANSI Ballast Type
A reference to the ANSI document describing the
lamp which also lists the characteristics of the
ballast required to operate the lamp. Technically,
therefore, it is incorrect to refer to "Ballast Type"
with the ANSI code but this misuse is common.
The following naming system is used: H – mercury
lamps; M – metal halide lamps; S – high pressure
sodium lamps; L – low pressure sodium lamps.
ANSI Codes
These are 3-letter codes assigned by the
American National Standards Institute. They
provide a system of assuring mechanical and
electrical interchangeability among similarly
coded lamps from various manufacturers.
General Electric uses the assigned ANSI Codes
as lamp ordering codes for most projection lamps.
Auto Reset Shutdown Circuit
Circuit senses lamp end life and will automatically
shut off power to the lamp(s). When a new lamp
is inserted in the socket, the ballast resets, and
turns on the lamp automatically. Some shutdown
circuits require the power to be cycled before a
new lamp will re-light.
Ballast
An auxiliary piece of equipment required to start
and to properly control the flow of current to gas
discharge light sources such as fluorescent and
high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. Typically,
magnetic ballasts (also called electromagnetic
ballasts) contain copper windings on an iron core
while electronic ballasts are smaller and more
efficient and contain electronic components.
Ballast Efficacy Factor (BEF)
Defined as ballast factor x 100 divided by input
watts. The value is used to evaluate various
lighting systems based on light output and power
input. The BEF can only be used to compare
systems operating the same type and quantity
of lamps.
Ballast Factor (BF)
This is the percentage of a lamp’s rated lumen
output that can be expected when operated on a
specific, commercially available ballast. Note that
the “rated output” is sometimes measured on a
reference ballast unlike ones that actually operate
the lamp in the field. For example, a ballast with
a ballast factor of 0.93 will result in the lamp's
emitting 93% of its rated lumen output. A ballast
with a lower BF results in less light output and
also generally consumes less power.

D-2

Ballast Hum
Sound generated by the vibration of laminations
in the iron core of the transformer or inductor
present in the ballast.
Ballast Losses
Power or energy dissipated in the ballast as heat
and not converted to lamp energy.
Ballast Luminous Efficiency (BLE)
A new (2011) metric measuring the ratio of total
fluorescent lamp arc power to the input power
supplied to the ballast.
Base Temperature (Maximum)
The maximum operating temperature permitted
for the base in Celsius. Fixture manufacturers
need to ensure that these conditions are satisfied
in their fixture.
Beam Angle
The angular dimension of the cone of light from
reflectorized lamps (such as R and PAR types)
encompassing the central part of the beam out to
the angle where the intensity is 50% of maximum.
The beam angle (sometimes called “beam
spread”) is often part of the ordering code for
reflectorized lamps. Example: The 50PAR30/HIR/
NFL25 is a 50 watt PAR30 narrow flood lamp with
a beam angle of 25 degrees, i.e. 12.5 degrees on
either side of the center (see Field Angle).
Bi-Pin
Any base with two metal pins for electrical
contact. This is the typical base for a fluorescent
tube of 1 to 4 feet in length. It consists of 2 prong
contacts that connect into the fixture. Medium
bi-pins are used with type T-8 and T-12 tubular
fluorescent lamps, and miniature bi-pins are used
for tubular T-5 fluorescent lamps.
Biax®
GE trademark for its biaxial family of highefficiency and long-life compact fluorescent
lamps. DBX (Double Biax), TBX (Triple Biax) and
QBX (Quad Biax) refer to the number of U-shaped
legs present in the lamp.
Bright from the Start™
A GE brand name for a family of hybrid compact
fluroescent lamps (CFL) that eliminate the
warm up time to full brightness associated with
traditional CFLs.
British Thermal Unit (BTU)
Unit of energy used in HVAC calculations.
1 BTU = 1055 joules; 1kWh = 3412 BTU.
Bulb Size
Bulb shape followed by its size (the maximum
diameter of the bulb expressed in eighths of an
inch). For Compact Fluorescent products, “S”,
“D”, “T”, and “Q” are used to represent Single,
Double, Triple and Quad Biax® sizes. The code
also includes a reference such as T4 to represent
the size of the tube. Rectangular headlamps
are designated as “Rect” and the number of
millimeters horizontally.
Canadian Energy Standards
Indicates ballast complies with Canadian Energy
Standards and meets the requirements of CAN/
CSA C654-M91.
Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
Association that generates product
performance and safety standards for
many Canadian industries.

Candela (cd)
The measure of luminous intensity of a source in a
given direction. The term has been retained from
the early days of lighting when a standard candle
of a fixed size and composition was defined as
producing one candela in every direction. A plot
of intensity versus direction is called a candela
distribution curve and is often provided for
reflectorized lamps and for luminaires with a
lamp operating in them.
Candlepower
An obsolete term for luminous intensity; current
practice is to refer to this simply as candelas
(see Candela).
Candlepower Distribution Curve
A graphical presentation of the distribution of light
intensity of a light source, usually a reflector lamp
or luminaire.
Capacitor
Device in ballast that stores electrical energy.
Often used for power factor correction and
lamp regulation.
Cathode
Metal filaments that emit electrons in a
fluorescent lamp. Negatively charged free
electrons emitted by the cathode are attracted to
the positive electrode (anode), creating an electric
current between the electrodes (see ELECTRODE).
Cathode Resistance
Resistance of the cathode in a Fluorescent lamp.
It is measured “cold” before the lamp is turned on
(Rc) or “hot” after the lamp is turned on (Rh). The
ratio of the hot resistance to the cold resistance is
also measured (Rh/Rc).
Center Beam Candlepower (CBCP)
Refers to the luminous intensity at the center of
the beam of a blown or pressed reflector lamp
(such as a PAR lamp). Measured in candelas
(see Candela).
Ceramic Metal Halide
A type of metal halide lamp that uses a ceramic
material for the arc tube instead of glass quartz,
resulting in better color rendering (>80 CRI) and
improved lumen maintenance. GE ConstantColor®
CMH® lamps feature a 3-piece arc tube design
that delivers excellent color consistency and
lamp reliability.
ChromaFit™
A GE brand name for metal halide lamps designed
to operate on HPS ballasts, allowing a user to
switch from the yellowish color of HPS to the
white color of metal halide without retrofitting
ballasts. These products are available in both
quartz metal halide and ceramic metal halide
(CMH®) versions.
Class P Thermal Protector
A switching device sensitive to current and heat
that automatically disconnects ballast if the
temperature exceeds UL temperature limitations.
Coefficient of Utilization (CU)
In general lighting calculations, the fraction of
initial lamp lumens that reach the work plane. CU
is a function of luminaire efficiency, room surface
reflectances and room shape.
Coil
Windings of copper or aluminum wire
surrounding the steel core in ballast. Also refers
to the entire assembly comprising the inductor
or transformer.

Color Quality Scale (CQS)
A new color metric proposed by NIST (US National
Institute of Standards) based on fifteen color chips
instead of the eight used in CRI.
Color Rendering Index (CRI)
A measure of the ability of a light source to
render object colors faithfully in comparison with
a designated standard light source. Incandescent
objects and daylight are both considered
"standard" sources. Note that "standard" is
defined for convenience in reproducibility rather
than being based on user preference.
Color Temperature (Correlated Color
Temperature – CCT)
A number indicating the degree of “yellowness”
or “blueness” of a white light source. Measured
in Kelvins, CCT represents the temperature an
incandescent object (like a filament) must reach
to mimic the color of the lamp. Yellowish-white
(“warm”) sources, like incandescent lamps, have
lower color temperatures in the 2700K–3000K
range; white and bluish-white (“cool”) sources,
such as cool white (4100K) and natural daylight
(6000K), have higher color temperatures. The
higher the color temperature the whiter, or bluer,
the light will be.
Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL)
The general term applied to fluorescent lamps
that are single-ended and that have smaller
diameter tubes that are bent to form a compact
shape. Some CFLs have integral ballasts and
medium or candelabra screw bases for easy
replacement of incandescent lamps.
ConstantColor®
A GE registered name for lamp families that show
very little color shift over life, such as GE’s Precise™
MR16 lamps and GE’s ceramic metal halide
(CMH®) lamps.
Cool White
A term loosely used to denote a color
temperature of around 4100K. The Cool White
(CW) designation is used specifically for T12 and
other fluorescent lamps using halophosphors and
having a CRI of 62.
Core
Component of electromagnetic ballast that is
surrounded by the coil. Core is comprised of steel
laminations or solid ferrite material.
Core & Coil Ballast
A ballast that uses a “Core & Coil” assembly
to operate fluorescent or HID lamps. Refers to
copper or aluminum windings on a steel core.
Cost of Light
Usually refers to the cost of operating and
maintaining a lighting system on an ongoing
basis. The 88-8-4 rule states that (typically) 88% is
the cost of electricity, 8% is labor and only 4% is
the cost of lamps.
covRguard®
A GE lamp encased by a plastic sleeve or coating
to help contain glass fragments if the lamp breaks.
Crest Factor (Lamp Current Crest Factor)
Ratio of peak to RMS for any AC waveform. Crest
factor can refer to voltage crest factor or current
crest factor.
Current Type (AC/DC)
Whether the operational voltage is based on
Alternating Current or Direct Current.
Daylight Harvesting
Lighting design for building interiors that

makes use of daylight as a way of reducing
energy consumption.
Dimmer, Dimming Control
A device used to lower the light output of a
source, usually by reducing the wattage it is being
operated at. Dimming controls are increasing in
popularity as energy conserving devices.
Discharge Lamp
A lamp where light is emitted from an electrical
discharge between two electrodes as opposed to
a filament lamp. Examples are: Fluorescent lamps
and HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamps like
Metal Halide, Mercury and High Pressure Sodium.
All discharge lamps require some kind of currentlimiting device, e.g. a ballast, to operate them.
Ecolux®
A brand for GE lamps that have reduced mercury
content and pass the TCLP test.
Edison
GE’s trademark for a wide range of halogen lamps
for the consumer market.
Efficacy
A measurement of how effective the light source
is in converting electrical energy to lumens of
visible light. Expressed in lumens-per-watt (LPW),
this measure gives more weight to the yellow
region of the spectrum and less weight to the
blue and red regions where the eye is not as
sensitive. The efficiency of a light source is simply
the fraction of electrical energy converted to light,
i.e. watts of visible light produced for each watt
of electrical power with no concern about the
wavelength where the energy is being radiated.
For example, a 100-watt incandescent lamp
converts 7% of the electrical energy into light;
discharge lamps convert 25% to 40% into light.
Efficiency
The efficiency of a light source is simply the
fraction of electrical energy converted to light,
i.e. watts of visible light produced for each watt
of electrical power with no concern about the
wavelength where the energy is being radiated.
For example, a 100-watt incandescent lamp
converts 7% of the electrical energy into light;
discharge lamps convert 25% to 40% into light.
The efficiency of a luminaire or fixture is the
percentage of the lamp lumens that actually
comes out of the fixture (see LUMINAIRE
EFFICIENCY).
Efficiency of Ballast
See Ballast Luminous Efficiency.
e-HID ballast (see Electronic HID Ballast).
Electrical Discharge
A condition under which a gas becomes
electrically conducting and becomes capable
of transmitting current, usually accompanied
by the emission of visible and other radiation.
An electric spark in air is an example of an
electrical discharge, as is a welder’s arc and
a lightning bolt.
Electrical Testing Laboratory (ETL)
Independent testing laboratory that performs
ballast tests and certifies accuracy of
performance data.
Electrode
Any metal terminal emitting or collecting
charged particles, typically inside the chamber
of a gas discharge lamp. In a fluorescent lamp,
the electrodes are typically metal filaments
coated with special powders called emission mix.

Negatively charged free electrons emitted by one
electrode are attracted to the positive electrode
(anode), creating an electric current and arc
between electrodes.
Electrodeless Lamps
Light sources where the discharge occurs in
a chamber with no electrodes (no metal). The
energy for the discharge is supplied by radio
frequency excitation, e.g. microwaves (see
INDUCTION LIGHTING and GENURA®).
Electromagnetic Ballast (see Magnetic Ballast).
Electromagnetic Spectrum
A continuum of electric and magnetic radiation
that can be characterized by wavelength or
frequency. Visible light encompasses a small
part of the electromagnetic spectrum in the
region from about 380 nanometers (violet) to 770
nanometers (red) by wavelength.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
High-frequency electronic ballasts and other
electronic devices can produce a small amount
of radio waves that can interfere with radio and
TV. Federally-mandated requirements must be
met for EMI levels before an electronic device
is considered FCC compliant (FCC is the Federal
Communications Commission).
Electronic Ballast
A short name for a fluorescent high-frequency
electronic ballast. Electronic ballasts use solidstate electronic components and typically operate
fluorescent lamps at frequencies greater than 25
kHz. The benefits are: increased lamp efficacy,
reduced ballast losses and lighter, smaller ballasts
compared to electromagnetic ballasts. Electronic
ballasts may also be used with HID (high intensity
discharge) lamps (see MAGNETIC BALLASTS).
Electronic HID Ballast
An electronic ballast capable of operating an
HID lamp. GE’s UltraMax® (electronic HID ballast)
operates PulseArc® (metal halide) and CMH®
(ceramic metal halide) lamps between 250W
and 400W and provides higher efficiency and
significantly improved lumen maintenance over
magnetic ballasts.
Elliptical Reflector (ER) Lamp
An incandescent lamp with a built-in elliptically
shaped reflecting surface. This shape produces
a focal point directly in front of the lamp which
reduces light absorption in some types of
luminaires. It is particularly effective at increasing
the efficiency of baffled downlights.
Energy Policy Act (EPACT)
Comprehensive energy legislation passed by the
U. S. Congress. The lighting portion includes lamp
labeling and minimum energy efficacy (lumens/
watt) requirements for many commonly used
incandescent and fluorescent lamp types. Federal
Canadian legislation sets similar minimum energy
efficacy requirements for incandescent reflector
lamps and common linear fluorescent lamps.
Provisions for Tax Deductions expiring at the end
of 2013.
Energy Star®
As of this publication (2012) U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) designation for products meeting
certain energy efficiency and performance
standards. Among manufacturers of LEDs, GE has
the largest number of Energy Star® products as
listed on the Federal Government’s website.
EOL (End-of-Life Protection)
A circuit that senses that a lamp has reached
D-3

Glossary of Terms
end of life (compact fluorescent lamps and smalldiameter linear fluorescent lamps) and turns off
power to the lamp. Continuing to power the lamp
beyond end of life can result in overheating
of the lamp ends.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
The U. S. federal agency that regulates
emissions in the radio frequency portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum. Part 18 of the FCC
rules specifies electromagnetic interference
(EMI) from lighting devices at frequencies greater
than 450 kilohertz (kHz). A consumer-rated
Class B ballast is designed for use in the home
near TV and radio receivers. It produces less
electrical noise that could interfere with consumer
products. A Class A-rated ballast is designed for
use in commercial and industrial applications that
are not in the vicinity of TV and radio receivers.
Field Angle
The angular dimension of the cone of light from
reflectorized lamps (such as R and PAR types)
encompassing the central part of the beam out to
the angle where the intensity is 10% of maximum
(see Beam Angle).
Flicker
The periodic variation in light level caused by AC
operation that can lead to strobe effects.
Fluorescent HO
Fluorescent HO and VHO lamps require special
ballasts that generate higher currents than
standard ballasts and operate the lamps at higher
wattage than standard lamps. These lamps are
generally less efficient than the standard product.
Metal Halide HO and XHO lamps operate on the
same ballasts as standard lamps and at the same
wattage but are more efficient and produce
higher light output than standard lamps.
Fluorescent Lamp
A high efficiency lamp utilizing an electric
discharge through low pressure mercury vapor to
produce ultra-violet (UV) energy. The UV excites
phosphor materials applied as a thin layer on
the inside of a glass tube which makes up the
structure of the lamp. The phosphors transform
the UV to visible light.
Footcandle (fc)
A unit of illuminance or light falling onto a surface.
It stands for the light level on a surface one foot
from a standard candle. One footcandle is equal
to one lumen per square foot (see Lux).
Forward Current
The current in milliamperes or amperes that the
driver is pushing through the LED. For a given
LED package, the higher the forward current, the
higher the light output, the lower the efficacy and
the poorer the lumen maintenance and expected
life.
Four-Pin Compact Fluorescent Lamps
A “plug-in” compact fluorescent lamp with 4
pins in the base to make electrical contact with
the ballast. Four-pin lamps can be dimmed on
appropriate dimming ballasts while two-pin
lamps cannot.
Frequency
Rate of alternation in an AC current. Expressed in
cycles per second or Hertz (Hz).
Full Spectrum Lighting
A marketing term, typically associated with
light sources that are similar to some forms of
natural daylight (5000K and above, 90+ CRI), but
sometimes more broadly used for lamps that
have a smooth and continuous color spectrum.
D-4

Genura®
GE’s electrodeless compact fluorescent lamp,
Genura®, uses induction to power the discharge.
The chamber generates UV (just like a discharge
in a regular fluorescent lamp) that is converted
by phosphors to visible light. Because Genura®
uses no electrodes, the life of this unique reflector
lamp is longer than typical compact fluorescent
products (see Induction Lighting).
Glare
Visual discomfort caused by excessive brightness
is called discomfort glare. If task performance is
affected it is called disability glare. Glare can be
direct glare or indirect (reflected) glare.
Group Relamping
The practice of replacing all the lamps at an
installation at one time with new lamps when the
lamps have operated for (typically) 65% to 70%
of rated life. The two benefits of group relamping
are: (1) reduced maintenance costs because of
the expense and inconvenience of replacing
failing lamps one at a time, and (2) improved
appearance and performance since older lamps
are often degrading in brightness and color as
they age.
Halogen Lamp
A halogen lamp is an incandescent lamp with a
filament that is surrounded by halogen gases,
such as iodine or bromine. Halogen gases
allow the filaments to be operated at higher
temperatures and higher efficacies. The halogen
participates in a tungsten transport cycle,
returning tungsten to the filament and prolonging
lamp life. All halogen lamps have a tungsten
filament and, often, a quartz envelope.
HIR™
GE designation for high-efficiency tungsten
halogen lamps. HIR lamps utilize shaped filament
tubes coated with numerous layers of materials
that transmit light but reflect the heat (infrared)
back onto the filament. This reduces the power
needed to keep the filament hot.
Harmonic
An integral multiple of the fundamental frequency
(60 Hz) that becomes a component of the current.
Harmonic Distortion (see Total Harmonic
Distortion or THD).
Hertz (Hz)
Unit used to measure frequency of alteration of
current or voltage, in cycles per second.
Highbay Lighting
Lighting designed for (typically) industrial locations
with a ceiling height of 25 feet and above.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamp
A general term for mercury, metal halide (GE
ConstantColor® CMH®, Multi-Vapor®, MXR or
Arcstream®) and high-pressure sodium (GE
Lucalox®) lamps. HID lamps contain compact arc
tubes which enclose various gases and metal
salts operating at relatively high pressures and
temperatures.
High Output/Very High Output (HO, VHO) Lamps
Designation for lamps generating more light than
standard lamps.
High Power Factor
A ballast whose power factor is corrected to 90%
or greater.
High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) Lamp
HPS lamps are high intensity discharge light
sources that produce light by an electrical

discharge through sodium vapor operating at
relatively high pressures and temperatures.
GE markets these lamps under the trade name
of Lucalox®.
Hot Restart Time
If there is a momentary power interruption and
the HID lamp goes out, there will be a delay of 10
to 15 minutes before the lamp has cooled down
sufficiently to start again. This is called the Hot
Restart time. PulseArc® lamps have a significantly
shorter Hot Restart time (typically 3–5 minutes)
than standard metal halide lamps. Lucalox®
Standby lamps will start up immediately while
standard Lucalox® lamps require a few minutes.
Ignitor
An electronic device providing a high voltage
pulse to initiate an electrical discharge. Typically,
the ignitor is paired with or is a part of the ballast.
Illuminance
The “density” of light (lumens/area) incident
on a surface; i.e. the light level on a surface.
Illuminance is measured in footcandles or lux.
Incandescent Lamp
A light source that generates light utilizing a thin
filament wire (usually of tungsten) heated to white
heat by an electric current passing through it.
Indirect Lighting
The method of lighting a space by directing the
light from luminaires upwards towards the ceiling.
The light scattered off the ceiling produces a soft,
diffuse illumination for the entire area.
Induction Lighting
Gases can be excited directly by radio-frequency
or microwaves from a coil that creates induced
electromagnetic fields. This is called induction
lighting and it differs from a conventional
discharge, which uses electrodes to carry current
into the arc. Induction lamps have no electrodes
inside the chamber and generally, therefore,
have longer life than standard lamps, but slightly
reduced efficiency.
Infrared Radiation
Electromagnetic energy radiated in the
wavelength range of about 770 to 1,000,000
nanometers. Energy in this range cannot be seen
by the human eye, but can be sensed as heat by
the skin.
Input Voltage
Power supply voltage required for proper
operation of fluorescent or HID ballast.
Input Watts
The total power input to the ballast that includes
lamp watts and ballast losses. The total power
input to the fixture is the input watts to the ballast
or ballasts and is the value to be used when
calculating cost of energy and air conditioning
loads. More than 90% of the input watts is
wattage or power delivered to the lamp load with
typical ballast.
Instant Start
A type of ballast designed to start fluorescent
lamps as soon as the power is applied. Most
T8 fluorescent lamps are being operated on
electronic instant-start ballasts. Slimline
fluorescent lamps operate only on instantstart circuits.
Instant-Start Lamp
A fluorescent lamp, usually with a single pin at
each end, approved to operate on instant-start
ballasts. The lamp is ignited by a high voltage
without any filament heating.

Integral
A popular term for a compact fluorescent lamp
that includes a built-in ballast (see CFL).
Joule
The fundamental unit of energy equal to
1 watt-second.
Kelvins (see color temperature).
Kilowatt (kW)
A measure of electrical power equal to 1000 watts.
Kilowatt Hour (kWh)
The standard measure of electrical energy and
the typical billing unit used by electrical utilities
for electricity use. A 100-watt lamp operated for
10 hours consumes 1000 watt-hours (100 x 10)
or one kilowatt-hour. If the utility charges $.10/
kWh, then the electricity cost for the 10 hours of
operation would be 10 cents (1 x $.10).
L70, L85, etc.
L70 (or L85, etc.): The elapsed operating time
over which a population of LED light sources
will maintain 70% (or 85%) of its initial light
output. This 70% number represents the
expected median light output (which is close to
the average light output) of the tested LED light
source population. The value is often stated using
the form L70(10K)= 50,000 Hours; this means
that the LED light source’s median light output
reaches 70% of the initial light output at 50,000
Hours based on 10,000 hours of test data using
TM-21 projection methods. When the L70 value
is stated as “Reported” it means that tests have
gone to at least 1/6th of the reported time as
required by IESNA’s TM-21 methodology. On the
other hand, manufacturers will sometimes state
a “Calculated” value of L70 which means they are
using mathematical curve fitting and projection
methods of TM-21 to project beyond 6 times the
available test hours.

products (complete assembled systems) of
lumens, watts and color in actual operating
environments.
LM80
Test procedures specified by the Illuminating

emitted by a source. For example, a dinner candle
provides about 12 lumens. A 60-watt Soft White
incandescent lamp provides 840 lumens.
Lumen Depreciation, Lumen Maintenance
A measure of how well a lamp maintains its light

or as a graph of light output vs. time. The “mean
lumens” of a lamp is the lumens at 40% of rated
life (50% for HPS lamp).
Lumens Per Watt (lpW)

source.
Typical lamp efficacies:
Edison’s first lamp................................................1.4 lpW

LED Products............................................................45-100
Mercury lamps............................................................50-60
Metal halide lamps................................................60-120
High-pressure sodium lamps...........................60-140
Note: The values above for discharge lamps do not
include the effect of the ballasts, which must be used
with those lamps. Taking ballast losses into account
reduces “system” or lamp ballast efficacies typically by
10-20% depending upon the type of ballast used.

Luminaire
A complete lighting unit consisting of a lamp (or
lamps), ballast (or ballasts) as required together
with the parts designed to distribute the light,
position and protect the lamps and connect them
to the power supply. A luminaire is often referred
to as a fixture.

Luminaire Efficiency
The ratio of total lumens emitted by a luminaire
to those emitted by the lamp or lamps used in
that luminaire.
Luminance
A photometric measure of “brightness” of a
surface as seen by the observer, measured in
candelas per square meter.

by the total power input (watts) to that source. It
is expressed in lumens per watt (see Lumens
per Watt).
Lux (lx)

expressed in inches or millimeters.
Mean Lumens
The average light output of a lamp over its rated
life. Based on the shape of the lumen depreciation
curve, for fluorescent and metal halide lamps,
mean lumens are measured at 40% of rated
lamp life. For mercury, high-pressure sodium
and incandescent lamps, mean lumen ratings
refer to lumens at 50% of rated lamp life (see
Lumen Maintenance).
Medium Base
Usually refers to the screw base typically used in
household incandescent lamps. There is also the
medium bi-pin base commonly used in T12 and
T8 fluorescent lamps.
Mercury Lamp
A high-intensity discharge light source operating
at a relatively high pressure (about 1 atmosphere)
and temperature in which most of the light is
produced by radiation from excited mercury
vapor. Phosphor coatings on some lamp types
add additional light and improve color rendering.
Metal Cases
Case design used in both magnetic and electronic
ballasts. These ballasts are grounded once they
are mounted to the fixture. They meet all safety
codes, some of which do not allow plastic in open
plenum areas.
Metal Halide Lamp

which the light is produced by the radiation
from mercury, plus halides of metals such as
sodium, scandium, indium and dysprosium.

longer. The mortality curve depicts the expected
percent surviving in a group of lamps at various
points between zero hours and rated life or
beyond. The curve starts with 100% at zero hours
and goes to 50% surviving at the rated life (e.g.
3000 hours or 20,000 hours, etc.) However, the
shape of the curve between these two end points
can vary depending on the lamp type. LEDs have
a very different mortality curve from traditional
products. See L70, L85 etc. Well-manufactured
LEDs are expected to have very little actual
"failures" in the traditional sense.
Mounting Height
Distance from the bottom of the fixture to either
the floor or work plane, depending on usage.
Multi-Vapor®
A GE brand name for metal halide lamps.

factor correction. Contains no polychlorinated
biphenyls and meets EPA requirements.
Normal Power Factor
Ballasts with power factor less than .90 that
do not incorporate any means of Power
Factor Correction.
Open Circuit Voltage (OCV)
Open Circuit Voltage measured across the socket
the lamp screws into, with the ballast powered
on. It is dangerous to stick a voltmeter into such
a socket without precise knowledge of the
ballast because high voltages and voltage pulses
could be present.
Operating Voltage
For electrical discharge lamps, this is the voltage
measured across the discharge when the lamp
is operating. It is governed by the contents of the
chamber and is somewhat independent of the
ballast and other external factors.
PAR Lamp
PAR is an acronym for parabolic aluminized
reflector. A PAR lamp, which may utilize either an
incandescent filament, a halogen filament tube
or an HID arc tube, is a precision pressed-glass
reflector lamp. PAR lamps rely on both the internal
reflector and prisms in the lens for the control of
the light beam. Today it is common to refer to LED
replacement products for PAR lamps as "LED PAR
Lamps" even though there may be no parabolic
reflector in the package.

D-6

Parallel Lamp Operation/Parallel Wiring

current paths from a single ballast to allow lamps
to operate independent of one another, allowing
other lamps operated by the ballast to remain
lit should companion lamp(s) fail (see Series
Lamp Operation).

capacitors that were part of ballasts. It is now
illegal to use PCBs and most such ballasts have
been replaced over time.
Phosphor

components of some magnetic and electronic
ballasts. Potting compound fulfills functions of
protecting components, dampening sound, and
dissipating heat.
Power Factor (PF)
A measure of the phase difference between
voltage and current drawn by an electrical device,
such as a ballast or motor. Power factors can
range from 0 to 1.0 with 1.0 being ideal. Power
factor is sometimes expressed as a percent.
Incandescent lamps have power factors close
to 1.0 because they are simple “resistive” loads.
The power factor of a fluorescent and HID lamp
system is determined by the ballast used. “High”
power factor usually means a rating of 0.9 or
greater. Power companies may penalize users for
using low-power-factor devices.
Power Factor Corrected
Ballasts that incorporate a means of Power Factor
Correction yielding power factor of 90% or greater.
Precise™
The GE trade name for the compact MR-16 and
MR-11 low-voltage halogen dichroic cool beam
reflectorized spot and flood lamps.
Preheat Circuit
A type of fluorescent lamp-ballast circuit used
with the first commercial fluorescent lamp
products. A push button or automatic switch is
used to preheat the lamp cathodes. Starting the
lamp can then be accomplished using simple
“choke” or reactor ballasts. A preheat fluorescent
lamp is one in which the filament must be heated
by use of a starter before the arc is created.
These lamps are typically operated with
electromagnetic ballasts.
Product Code
It is important to use this five-digit code when
ordering to ensure that you receive the exact
product you require.
Programmed Rapid Start
Lamp starting method which preheats the lamp
filaments while not allowing the lamp to ignite
and then applies the open circuit voltage (OCV)
to start the lamp. The user may experience a
half- to one-second delay after turning on the

lamps while the preheating takes place. This type
of starting circuit keeps lamp end blackening to
a minimum and improves lamp life performance,
especially in applications where the lamps are
frequently switched on and off.
PulseArc®
GE metal halide lamp that provides improved
lumen maintenance for longer useful life and
extended relamp cycles. These products are
designed to operate on ballasts that have
ignitors to help with lamp starting.
Pulse Start
A lamp that requires an HID ballast with a highvoltage ignitor to start the lamp.

are heated while open circuit voltage (OCV) is
applied to facilitate lamp ignition. A Rapid Start
fluorescent lamp has two pins at each end
connected to the filament. Some rapid start
lamps may be instant-started without filament
heat, for example, the F32T8 lamp.
Rapid Start Circuit
A fluorescent lamp-ballast circuit that utilizes
continuous cathode heating, while the system
is energized, to start and maintain lamp light

the modern phosphors used in fluorescent lamps
and LEDs.
Rated Lamp Life
For most lamp types, rated lamp life is the length
of time of a statistically large sample between first
use and the point when 50% of the lamps have
died. It is possible to define “useful life” of a lamp
based on practical considerations involving lumen
depreciation, color shift and also on the need
to reduce lamp replacement costs (see GROUP
RELAMPING).
Reflector Lamp (R)
A light source with a built-in reflecting surface.
Sometimes, the term is used to refer specifically to
blown bulbs like the “R” and “ER” lamps; at other
times, it includes all reflectorized lamps like PAR
and MR.
Room Cavity Ratio (RCR)
A shape factor (for a room, etc.) used in lighting
calculations.
RCR = 5H (L+W) / L x W, or, alternately,
RCR = (2.5) Total Wall Area / Floor Area.

Where H = height, L = length and W = width of
the room. A cubical room will have an RCR of 10;
the flatter the room the lower the RCR.
RP
A series of “Recommended Practices” issued by
the Illuminating Engineering Society for various
lighting applications, e.g. RP 1 for Office Lighting,
RP 8 for Roadway Lighting, RP 29 for Museum
Lighting, etc.
Scotopic/Photopic (S/P) Ratio
This measurement accounts for the fact that of
the two light sensors in the retina, rods are more
sensitive to blue light (scotopic vision) and cones
to yellow light (photopic vision). The Scotopic/
Photopic (S/P) Ratio is an attempt to capture the
relative strengths of these two responses. S/P
is calculated as the ratio of scotopic lumens to
photopic lumens for the light source on an ANSI
reference ballast. Cooler sources (higher-colortemperature lamps) tend to have higher values of
the S/P Ratio compared to warm sources.

A discharge lamp with an integral ballasting
device allowing the lamp to be directly connected
to a socket providing line voltage (see CFL).
Series Lamp Operation
Refers to ballasts that employ a single current
path passing through all lamps operated by the
ballast. If one lamp should fail, companion lamps
operated by the same ballasts will also extinguish
or dim.
Spacing to Mounting Height Ratio
Ratio of fixture spacing (distance apart) to
mounting height above the work plane;
sometimes called spacing criterion. It is OK to have
fixture spaced closer than the spacing criterion
suggested by the manufacturer but not farther,
or you will get dark spots in-between fixtures.
Specification Series (SP) Colors
Energy-efficient, all-purpose tri-phosphor
fluorescent lamp colors that provide good color
rendering. The CRI for SP colors is 70 or above
and varies by specific lamp type. See Lamp Color
Chart on inside back cover.

lamps with superior color rendering ~ 90.
Specular Reflection
Reflection from a smooth, shiny surface, as
opposed to diffuse reflection.
Spectral Power Distribution (SPD)
A graph of the radiant power emitted by a
light source as a function of wavelength. SPDs

to characterize fluorescent lamp waste as
hazardous or nonhazardous waste. The TCLP test
measures the ability of the mercury and/or lead in
a lamp to leach from a landfill into ground water.
THD (see total harmonic distortion).
TM21
Technical Memorandum developed by the
Illuminating Engineering Society to provide
method for projecting lumen maintenance of
an LED source, array or module as a function
of temperature. This will allow LED Luminaire
manufacturers to predict lumen depreciation in
their fixtures, based on the operating temperature
of the LED in that package. See also, "L70, L85,
etc."
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
A measure of the distortion of the input current
on alternating current (AC) power systems caused
by higher order harmonics of the fundamental
frequency (60Hz in North America). THD is
expressed in percent and may refer to individual
electrical loads (such as a ballast) or a total
electrical circuit or system in a building. ANSI
C82.77 recommends THD not exceed 32% for
individual commercial electronic ballasts,
although some electrical utilities may require
lower THDs on some systems. Excessive THDs
on electrical systems can cause efficiency losses
as well as overheating and deterioration of
system components.
Transients
High voltage surges through an electrical
system caused by lightning strikes to nearby
transformers, overhead lines or the ground.
May also be caused by switching of motors or
compressors, as well as by short circuits or utility
system switching. Can lead to premature ballast

TRIAC
Genericized tradename for "Triode for Alternating
Current," a device at the heart of many common
residential dimmers. TRIACS reduce the current by

For practical purposes, any radiant energy within
the range of 100–380 nanometers. It is beyond
the blue or violet region of the spectrum, and is
invisible to the eye just like the silent “ultrasound”

Some wavelengths (180–220) produce ozone,
some (220–300) are bactericidal, some (280–320)
erythemal (redden human skin); others (320–400)
cause secondary luminance (black light).
Ultra Watt-Miser®
GE’s family of energy-saving T8 fluorescent lamps.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
A private organization which tests and
lists electrical (and other) equipment for
electrical and fire safety according to
recognized UL and other standards. A UL listing is
not an indication of overall performance. Lamps

for scanning at the register.
Veiling Reflection
Effective reduction in contrast between task and
its background caused by the reflection of light

across the points. The volt specification of an
incandescent lamp is the electrical “pressure”
required to drive it at its designed point. The
“voltage” of a ballast (e.g. 277 V) refers to the line
voltage it must be connected to.

traveling wave. The wavelength of light is between
400 and 700 nanometers.

The Value of Lighting Upgrades
About 35% of the electricity bill of commercial and industrial buildings is
lighting. Upgrading to more energy-efficient lighting is an easy way to
significantly reduce the overhead costs of running a business. Additional
savings can be realized from using long-life lamps that reduce maintenance
costs. Further, energy-efficient lighting also reduces the air-conditioning load
on the HVAC system and provide greater energy savings.
Users need to be reminded that energy is usually the highest portion of the
cost of lighting. A single T12 lamp will use about $100 of energy over its life; a
single 400W metal halide lamp will use over $1000 in energy over life.
Remember, the products currently used in many buildings today are using
products that are effectively obsolete due to technology improvements that
have occurred over the last few years. There are several additional reasons
to consider lighting upgrades today.
1)	Legislation: many less-efficient products are being phased out by
	 Government regulation. In each case there are better, more efficient, longer 	
	 life replacements available that bring benefit both to the end-user and to 		
	 the national economy because of energy savings.
2)	Energy Reduction, both direct and indirect HVAC
3)	Improvements in ambiance, productivity and user-satisfaction
4)	Maintenance savings from longer life products
5)	Environmental benefits from reduced energy consumption leading to
	 reduced emissions, reduced or no-mercury, longer life.
6)	Rebates offered by many utility companies. These rebates may go away
	 as more and more inefficient products are eliminated
7)	Tax deduction provisions of the Energy Policy Act (EPASCT) for lighting 		
	 upgrades completed by end of 2013
Upgrades can involve something as simple as unscrewing the old bulb and
screwing in the new bulb. However, in many cases ballasts and lamps are
replaced in the existing fixture, or a retrofit kit is used to insert new holders
and reflectors. Sometimes it is economically justified to replace the entire
fixture with e new fixture.

Products Eliminated by Legislation
Incandescent Bulbs: Incandescent bulbs convert only 4% to 7% of the
electrical energy into light; the rest is wasted as heat. Legislation in the US
and many other countries is progressively banning the use of incandescent
bulbs in most regular applications. A single incandescent 100-watt bulb
operated for an entire year (8760 hrs.) will require the burning of over 1000
pounds of coal in a coal-fired power plant to generate the electricity it uses.
Replacing it with an efficient LED or CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) will cut
energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission by 75% in addition to
saving over $70 per socket at the prevailing average national energy rate of
11 cents per kWh. These products also last 10 times to 30 times longer!
Halogen Reflector Lamps: Although more efficient than standard
incandescent lamps, halogen lamps are still using a hot tungsten filament to
generate light. The latest HIR+ product s from GE use an infra-red reflecting
film in the filament tube, and silverized reflectors to increase performance.
Upgrading to these HIR+ products or to significantly more efficient, long
life LED products provide significant energy savings. In many cases CMH
(ceramic Metal Halide) reflector lamps can be considered, either with integral
ballasts or with external ballasts. Halogen floods can be replaced with CFLs.
T12 Linear Fluorescent Lamps and some lower-performing T8s: These have
been legislated away since very efficient, high-performance T8 systems are
available. Also, LED fixtures are becoming a viable option to be considered for
offices and classrooms. It is possible to obtain up to 45% energy savings with
out loss of light when upgrading from T12 systems.
Standard Metal Halide lamps and ballasts: The old “probe start” metal
halide lamps on magnetic ballasts are now eliminated by legislation for new
construction, although replacement products for existing installations are still
available. Upgrade options include Pulse-Start or CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide)
on magnetic or electronic ballasts. For Industrial and High-bay attractive
financial returns can be obtained by going to multi-lamp T8 or T5/HO fixtures.
In outdoor lighting applications like parking lots and roadway, many users
are upgrading from HID to LED fixtures for energy and maintenance savings.
Contact your GE distributor or GE sales rep for a simple lighting audit and a
financial analysis of the benefits of lighting upgrades at your facility.

Affected products that have been eliminated by legislation or are facing
elimination in the immediate future based on efficiency requirements are
listed in the next column:

LEDs for General Lighting
LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor chip that emits visible light
when energized. LEDs are also referred to as solid state lighting (SSL) devices.
One of the first references to LEDs came in 1907 when Marconi’s assistant
Henry Round ­reported it in a letter to Electrical World after observing light
emission from carborundum (silicon carbide, SiC). Round was experimenting
with cat’s whisker detectors, a device used in early crystal radios. Later, in
1920 the Russian scientist Oleg Losov studied the phenomenon in greater
detail, publishing a number of papers on the current-voltage characteristics
of SiC.
However the modern father of visible LEDs is considered to be Nick Holonyak
who invented a red LED in 1962 while working at a GE lab in Syracuse, NY.
Later, he moved to the University of Illinois at Urbana and a student of his,
George Craford went on to invent yellow, orange and green LEDs. Finally, in
the 1990s, several researchers at Nichia laboratories in Japan found ways to
make efficient blue LEDs and the modern white LED was born.
Light emission from LEDs
LEDs are made of semiconducting material, not unlike what is found in
transistors and computer chips. Electrons from the “n” or negative material
flow into the “p” or positive material across a junction, where they encounter
“holes” . When an electron falls into a hole a photon is emitted corresponding
in energy to the energy lost by the electron.
If this primary photon is in the blue region of he spectrum, it is possible
to add phosphors that absorb the high energy blue photon and re-emit
lower energy photons of green, yellow, orange or red colors. Based on the
thickness and composition of the phosphor, the color of the LED source
can be changed from blue to cool white to very warm white. In general, the
higher color temperature LEDs (cool color) have less phosphors and are more
efficient with higher lumens per watt (LPW). Warm LEDs have to use more
phosphor and pay a small price in LPW if the warmer color is desired.

Key determinants of performance
Long-term performance of LEDs is critically determined by the junction
temperature of the LED—the junction being the layer where most of the
primary light emission is occurring. Even though each individual LED
generates only about a watt of heat, this heat can destroy the semiconductor
material if it is not rapidly conducted away.
The LED chip manufacturer will often rate the LED at 100,000 hours based on
the junction temperature being kept below a specified point. If overheated,
a 100,000 hour LED can easily die in 10,000 hours or 1000 hours, or even
100 hours.
Thermal management of the LED, achieved through well designed heatsinks and conduction paths is the key factor that determines LED longevity.
Reliable life testing of LEDs in the finished configuration under field conditions
is the only way to determine how long an actual lamp or fixture is likely
to last. ANSI standard TM21 specifies how to test and rate LED life and all
reputable LED manufacturers will refer to this document to validate their
life ratings.
Sorting (binning) of LEDs
LED manufacturers constantly work to manage process variation and maximize
yield. To this end, LEDs are sorted by three criteria—forward voltage, light
output and color—and placed in appropriate “bins.” ANSI requirements call
for roughly a “seven step” equivalent cell, each step being the minimum
color difference perceptible to the human eye. However, for more demanding
applications, it is possible to pay a little more and require tighter binning,
e.g. to three-steps.
The Future of LEDs
LEDs are the most promising breakthrough in Lighting in half a century. The
boundaries of efficiency and life are being extended almost on a daily basis.
The US Department of Energy says, “… Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), has the
potential to revolutionize the efficiency, appearance, and quality of lighting as
we know it.“ Some experts estimate that LEDs might approach 200 lumens
per watt within a few years.
