Dimming
Dimming is done by the control of the discharge current. In dimming mode, the optimum cathode temperature shall be
maintained by additional cathode heating current. All GE T5 lamps are given a seasoning burn-in at the end of the
assembly line. This is sufficient cathode preparation for dimming, no additional burn-in at full power is required before using
the lamp for the first time.
Please note that after transportation and installation, the mercury is scattered in the tube. For stabilized operation, the excess
mercury should be migrated to the cold spot. This may take up to 20 hours of full-power operation. The stabilization time
becomes even longer if the lamps are dimmed.
Emergency operation
In emergency operation, lamps are typically underdriven running at low power. To save battery life, emergency inverters may
not apply additional cathode heating which would be necessary to maintain the proper cathode temperature.
Such unfavourable conditions result in accelerated blackening and shorter life over a longer period in emergency mode.
In a typical application, the emergency lighting system is tested for a short period on a regular basis. The cummulative impact
on lamp life can generally be considered low.
