HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Lamp Life of T5 Fluorescent Lamps in Dimming Use Objectives −The effect of dimming on lamp life −The optimal electrode heating in dimming use −The electrode should be at a high enough temperature to produce sufficient electron emission, but not so high that there is excessive evaporation from the emitter
6
HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Introduction The electrode temperature determines the rate of loss of the electrode emissive coating Electrode temperature directly affects the lamp life The electrode temperature in dimming use is maintained by an additional heating current

HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Measurements Electrical measurements Average electrode temperature
8
HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Measurements Temperature measurements with infra-red camera Hot spot temperature
9
HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Lamp life test 8 test group, 24 T5-lamps in each, 28 W Dimming level: 100 %, 15 %, 5 % Electrode heating level nominal, decreased or increased Burning cycle 24 h, 23 h 45 min ON, 15 min OFF In addition some special lamps with no fluorescent powder near the electrodes

HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Results Electrode temperature vs. voltage after 15 000 h
11
HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Results Mortality after 20 000 burning hours Average electrode temperatures, hot spot values higher
12
HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Conclusions The electrode heating should be high enough in dimming use to ensure the adequate cathode temperature The electrode voltage with T5 28 W lamps should be more than 7 V and the average electrode temperature more than 700º C Results show that with proper electrode heating T5 lamps can be dimmed without decreasing their lamp life

HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Results, general preferences Test 1Test 2
23
HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Results, colour chart Test 2
24
HELSINKI UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Lighting Laboratory Conclusions With a good setup the perception of light from LEDs improves and people are more likely to prefer this light when compared to incandescent and fluorescent light. The rendering of the skin color under the LEDs light is not very well accepted. The colour rendering index does not predict the subjective preferences
