How to Use This Guide To help you in your search, this Product Guide is divided into sections. We recommend that you first review the Table of Contents and choose the section appropriate to your search. When you turn to a section, review how it is set up. Each section is organized according to available information: • General Lighting: A cross-reference table for Philips, GE and Sylvania bulbs • Miniatures: Organized by ordering code, with volts, watts and size specifications • Surgical & Endoscopic; Dental; Ophthalmic: Locate product by equipment manufac- turer and model number • Microscope: Find bulbs by equipment manufacturer and manufacturer’s part number • Ultraviolet (Germicidal): Organized by lamp type and specifications • Analytical: Organized by equipment manufacturer and instrument model; Hollow Cathodes by elements • Stage, Studio, TV, Photo, AV: This section has its own index which cross references ordering code with product specifications • Graphic Arts: Locate product by manufacturer, model number and manufacturer number • Batteries: Organized by chemistry with the addition of a manufacturer’s cross reference This Guide is a reference tool. Due to size constraints it does not include all products, images or pricing. For further information contact us via phone, fax or email. We recommend that this Product Guide be used in conjunction with our eCommerce site, Bulbtronics.com, where you can view full color product images and line drawings, lists of specifi- cations, price and availability.

Thaw President and CEO 2 Electromagnetic Spectrum About Bulbs Lights, Color and Kelvin Ratings… Color temperature is a measurement of warmth or Color coolness of a light source. Rendition When metal is heated, the color will change. As the metal heats the color will first appear as red and Index (CRI) changes to orange, yellow, white, blue-white and then to deeper colors of blue. The temperature of the CRI is not a lamp’s exact spectrum, metal can be measured in degrees Kelvin, or but an indication of it. Well-balanced, absolute temperature. full spectrum lamps have higher CRI The appearance of the sun as it rises is approxi- values. All CRI values are relative to mately 1800o Kelvin. As it climbs to the sky, it sunlight which has a CRI of 100. A changes from red to orange to yellow and to white at lamp with a high CRI (90+) displays noon, when it reaches 5000o Kelvin. It reverses the objects nearly the same as if they scale as it sets. Color temperature describes the were lit by sunlight. warmth or coolness of a light source. Higher Kelvin ratings are “cool” and lower ratings are “warm.” Spectral Distribution Visible light is a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Radiant energy travels through space as electromagnetic waves. These lengths of waves, or spectra of visible light, determine the color perceived by the eye and are indicated by nanometers (nm). The human eye perceives wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm. Below 400 nm - ultraviolet Between 560 and 590 nm - yellow Between 400 and 420 nm - violet Between 590 and 630 nm - orange Between 420 and 490 nm - blue From 630 and, to a bit above 700 nm, light appears red Between 490 and 560 nm - green Above 700 nm - infrared Relative Energy 4 1.800.654-8542 mm 8ths INCHES About Bulbs Helping You to Understand Lamp Codes in our Catalog 1- Some lamps are called “ANSI-coded” with a 3-letter code assigned by the American National Standards Institute. This provides a system of assur- ing physical, electrical and performance standards for interchangeability among brands. 2- Other lamps may consist of a combination of numbers and letters which can help you identify your bulb. To break down a lamp code, try using the following example: Shape Base 25T8DC/IF Watts Diameter Finish This bulb is 25 watts, with a “T” (tubular) shape 1” (measured in 8ths of an inch) in diameter, with a DC (double contract) bayonet base (BA15d), and IF (Inside Frost) finish. 3- Miniature lamps are usually identified by a 2, 3 or 4 digit number which is similar to an ANSI code, because mechanical and electrical characteristics should be the same regardless of the manufacturer of the bulb. 4- Not all lamps can be identified by one method. Many equipment manufactures will put their own code on lamp, but in many cases we can help identify your bulb. Call us with the bulb in your hand, your equipment brand and model number, and we may be able to cross-reference it with that information. 5 How to Read Incandescent Lamp Designation When metal is heated, it glows and emits visible Incandescent lamp designations follow a standard light.

The letter indicates the bulb’s shape and the number is the diameter of the bulb in eights of an inch. For example, “T-10” indicates a tubular bulb 1 1/4 inches in diameter (10/8=1 1/4”).

A fluorescent lamp consists of a glass tube filled with low pressure gas and containing a small amount of mercury. This tube is coated with phosphors, and at each end there’s an electrode, a coil of tungsten wire coated with rare earth oxides.
