60 Hertz (Hz) or 60 cycles per second.
Industry:Lights & lighting
GE's special barrier coating applied on the inside of all GE T8 fluorescent lamps, a well as some other lamp types, to enhance lamp life and deliver superior lumen maintenance.

Specified in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1990, is used 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 groundwater (See ECOLUX).
Industry:Lights & lighting
A family of high-efficiency GE instant-start electronic linear fluorescent ballasts designed to optimize GE's T8 Ultra lamps for enhanced system energy savings. UltraMax ballasts have a low lamp current crest factor and virtually "read" and adapt to incoming voltage from 108V to 305V. Other features include UL Type CC Anti-Arc Rating and anti-striation control to eliminate lamp striations and spiraling. GE also has an UltraMax HID ballast which can operate PulseArc and CMH lamps anywhere from 250 watts to 400 watts and provides greatly improved lumen maintenance.

Radiant energy in the range of about 100-380 nanometers (nm). For practical applications, the UV band is broken down further as follows: Ozone-producing - 180-220 nm; Bactericidal (germicidal) - 220-300; Erythemal (skin reddening) - 280-320; "Black" light - 320-400. The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) defines the UV band as UV-A (315-400 nm); UV-B (280-315 nm) and UV-C (100-280 mm).

The time it takes for a High Intensity Discharge lamp to reach 90% of light output after being turned on.

A Watt-Miser® lamp is a term used by GE to indicate a reduced-wattage lamp with performance characteristics (life, light output, etc.) such that it can usually directly replace a higher-wattage product. Watt-Miser® lamps are available in a wide range of incandescent, fluorescent and HID lamp types.
Industry:Lights & lighting
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.
