1) Average life under engineering data with lamps turned off and restarted once every 12 operating hours.
2) Approximate initial lumens.The lamp lumen output is based upon lamp performance after 100 hours of operating life, when the output is measured during operation on a reference ballast under standard laboratory conditions.
For expected lamp lumen output, commercial ballast manufacturers can advise the appropriate ballast factor for each of their ballasts when they are informed of the designated lamp.The ballast factor is a multiplier applied to the
designated lamp lumen output.
3) Design lumens are the approximate lamp lumen output at 40% of the lamp’s rated average life.This output is based upon measurements obtained during lamp operation on a reference ballast under standard laboratory conditions.
Lamp meets US Federal Minimum Efficiency Standards.

General Overview
Philips PLUS T8 Gold 32W Lamps
provide up to 50% longer life
than standard T8 Gold products
in the industry.
Benefits
By using Philips PLUS T8 Gold fluorescent lamps, the lamp replacement and labor costs may
be extended by an extra 2
1 ⁄
2
years on a facility that operates an average of 4,000 hours per
year. For example, a standard T8 Gold product, with a rated average life expectancy of
20,000 hours should last five years (20,000 hours rated life / 4,000 hours per year =
5 years). Conversely, Philips Long Life PLUS T8 Gold fluorescent lamps should operate for
seven and a half years due to their rated average life expectancy of 30,000 hours (30,000
hours rated average life / 4,000 hours per year = 7
1 ⁄
2
years). 7 1 ⁄
2
years – 5 years = 2 1 ⁄
2
years.
