Philips CosmoPolis Urban Lighting - Manual (Page 5)

Miniaturisation to meet the
needs of today
Miniaturisation is much more than a design trend.
It means:
• Less materials used to conserve resources.
• Smaller, lightweight luminaires with light-duty poles to conserve resources
and reduce capital cost.
• Easier end-of-life disposal under WEEE regulations.
CosmoWhite and CosmoGold are 65% smaller than equivalent HPI/CDO and SON lamps.
CosmoPolis dedicated electronic gear is half the size of HPI/CDO and SON
electromagnetic gear.
9 8
By comparison:
• CDM-T has only a two-year service life.
• CDO-TT and HPL have a three-year service life but a lumen maintenance of only 60%.
…and electronic control gear as well!
Philips’ dedicated HID-PrimaVision control gear for CosmoPolis lamps has a service lifetime
of 60,000 hours (95% survivors). And since electronic control gear eliminates the need for
power factor correction capacitors and ignitors, system failures caused by these components are
also eliminated.
Even more reliable lamps…
CosmoWhite has a service life of three years (12,000 hours) with a lumen maintenance
of 80% and more than 90% survivors. CosmoGold has a service life of four years (16,000
hours) with a lumen maintenance of 90% and more than 90% survivors.
