1. Introduction

1.1 History

The development of linear fluorescent goes back to the thirties of the 20th
century. The diameter of 51mm was very voluminous. However, better
efficiency did not come up before the fifties.

The improvements according to the luminous flux and lifetime with the T12
lamp (38 mm diameter) made an economic and even outdoor application
possible. There were continuous improvements for optimizations as for
example Amalgamtechnology. In this term fluorescent lamps were operated
by conventional control gears (CCG).

The decisive breakthrough was at the end of the 70s and early 80s. In the
year 1978, a new T8/

∅ 26 mm- lamp generation started to replace

T12/

∅38mm- fluorescent lamps. New phosphors with higher resistance

came into the market. Nowadays known under triband-phosphor (LUMILUX
light colours). The diameter of the lamps was reduced from 38mm to 26mm
however the length was kept with 59, 120 and 150 cm as the sockets G13.
The new wattage of 18, 36 and 58 W was advantageous as it was a
reduction of at least 10% compared to the T12/

∅38 mm lamps in 20, 40

and 65 W.
This was also the hour of birth for the Electronic Control Gears (ECG). First
the circuits were in a instant start mode what also was called softstart up to
the programmed or preheat start. Together with modern Electronic Control
Gear QUICKTRONIC T8/

∅26 mm- fluorescent lamps became even more

efficient and longer lasting. In addition, the thermal behavior of the
luminous flux was improved.
The T8-system was permanently improved as the example of the triband-
phosphor shows with a very high service life of the fluorescent lamp.

In 1995, the next milestone of fluorecent lamp development saw the
introduction of new FH...HE (High Efficiency) systems to the market. With
the reduced diameter of 16 mm only the lamp was designed. It is available
in 14, 21, 28 and 35 W with the G5 sockets. It is 50 mm shorter as the T8
fluorescent lamps.

T5 fluorescent lamps only can be operated by Electronic Control Gear. So
the light output and the life time of the lamp were designed from the
beginning to an optimum of up to 104 lm/W. The maximum luminous flux of
the T5 lamps is at 35 °C compared to 25 °C at T8 or T12 lamps. The
reduced lamp diameter of 16 mm as the maximum lumen output at 35 °C
are the relevant feature for a higher efficiency of the fixture.
