4.3 Run-up behaviour
The start-up behaviour of an OSRAM DULUX ® lamp depends on more factors: e.g. type of the lamp,
type of the control gear (whether ECG or CCG), ambient temperature, burning position, off time,
volume and the construction of the light fitting and others.
Below are examples of run-up diagrams of different DULUX ® lamps in different burning positions
(free burning).
Typical run-up behavior of OSRAM DULUX® lamps (except special models) in CCG operation, 25 ºC ambient
temperature, mains voltage 230 V/50 Hz, free-operating
