4 Operating characteristics
4.1 Start-up characteristics
4.1.1 Single circuit, inductive operation
For OSRAM DULUX
®
compact fluorescent lamps the average starting times in inductive mode are:
1.5 to 3.0 seconds for a supply voltage of 230 V and an ambient temperature of 25ºC. At low tem-
peratures and/or if the supply voltage falls 10 % below its rated value of 230 V there will be a con-
siderable increase in the starting times. OSRAM DULUX
®
T 26 W CONSTANT (amalgam lamps)
should be ignited and operated only at the optimum supply voltage (230 V) and never below 5ºC.
The table shows starting time values measured according to the description in IEC 60901. In real
applications with common magnetic ballasts deviations from the figures below are possible.
