C3 Series - Cold Cathode Lamps
The next generation cold cathode fluorescent lamps

Cold cathode lamps have been used for years in laptop displays, copiers and cell phones. Even some of the new flat panel LCD television screens and monitors utilize cold cathode technology because the technology is proven and reliable.

Recently, the technology has been adapted and applied to compact lighting products that have an average life rating of 25,000 hours and are dimmable. These long-life and energy saving lamps are ideal for special applications, such as signage, where reduced maintenance and energy costs are desired.

The soft starting of the cathodes ensures long lamp life and
unparalleled performance under difficult ambient conditions.

OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

DIMMING:
USHIO’s dimmable C3™ Cold Cathode Fluorescent lamps should only be used on modern analog dimmers. They will not work on digital dimming systems, which although uncommon, may still be found in certain new installations.

CCFL’s will not dim to 0%. A Cold Cathode lamp functions similarly to a linear fluorescent lamp, which requires that an arc be maintained between the cathodes / electrodes. A certain amount of power is required to maintain this arc. There is also power that is consumed in the operation of the ballast. Due to the power consumed by these two items, a dimmable CCFL lamp has a much more restricted dimming range than other lamps. C3™ Cold Cathode lamps have a dimming range of 100% - 30%. Depending on the brand and type of dimmer used, you may experience flickering or shutdown with C3™ Cold Cathode lamps when dimmed below 30% of the lamp’s power.

ENVIRONMENT:
The ideal ambient operating temperature for the C3 Cold Cathode lamps is 25C (77F). These lamps will operate in ambient temperatures between -15C (5F) and 50C (122F).

The 3W, 5W and 8W C3 lamps are suitable for use indoors or outdoors. The 13W and 18W C3 lamps are for indoor use only.
