FOR MANY: THE NEW GENERATION OF VERSATILE ECGs.

Without putting too fine a point on it, traditional electronic control gear for fluorescent lamps have been reliable but depressingly limited. Each ECG has been perfectly matched to a particular type of lamp and a particular wattage. Over the past few years there has been a welcome increase in the number of new, better and more effective fluorescent lamp systems, with the unfortunate result that the number of different ECGs has grown out of proportion. This is a problem not only because of the number of different types that have to be stocked and the amount of capital that this ties up, but also because it acts as a brake on the flexibility needed nowadays in luminaire manufacture and lighting design.

To solve this problem of a disproportionate number of units, OSRAM has taken a new route and developed electronic control gear that are so versatile that they can be used for a wide range of fluorescent lamps of different wattages. The new Generals are called QUICKTRONIC MULTIWATT. A large number of different ECGs matched to particular types and wattages can now be replaced by just four MULTIWATT models. For example, instead of eight ECGs to cover the entire range of T5 FH fluorescent lamps only one single-lamp ECG and one two-lamp ECG is now needed. The two-lamp MULTIWATT ECG can even be used to operate two lamps of different wattages. And only one QUICKTRONIC MULTIWATT ECG is needed to operate 17 different tubular and circular fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps, each at maximum efficiency.

FLEXIBILITY

MULTIWATT ECGs from OSRAM give luminaire designers new freedom to combine different types of fluorescent lamp and different wattages. The fact that there is now only a small number of different ECGs means that storage costs are reduced, less capital is tied up, forward planning is made easier and the logistics can be made more efficient.
