General Luminescent Corporation manufactures cold cathode lamps and fixtures for commercial and industrial use. They produce COLOVOLT cold cathode fluorescent lamps that are 93 inches long and 25mm in diameter, coming in 4 standard colors. Engineering data is provided showing that two COLOVOLT 3500°K white lamps operated on a single cold cathode ballast would have a total lumen output of 4,800 with an average life of 10,000 hours and power consumption of 109 watts. Performance data over the life of the lamps is also shown in a table.

Cold Cathode, lamps and fixtures for commercial and industrial installations.
COLOVOLT cold cathode fluorescent lamps, designed to operate on standard
120 m. a. 750 volt ballasts, are
93"
long and 25 MM. in diameter. These lamps are
manufactured in four standard colors:
3500 White; Soft White; Daylight and
4500
White. Table one (1)
furnishes engineering data for operation of two COLOVOLT
lamps on a two-tube brick type, cold cathode ballast. The resultant light from a
system of two or more lamps operating on duo-ballasts is essentially free of strobo-
scope effect. Standard COLOVOLT ballasts are designed to operate from a 118 volt
line but COLOVOLT lamps will operate from a 230 or 440 volt line when properly
designed ballasts, which can be made available for that purpose, are used. Though
designed for average secondary voltage operation of 420 volts, COLOVOLT lamps
will operate effectively in high voltage series circuits. Secondary voltages up to
15,000 volts may be used if the proper number of lamps is placed in the series circuit.
In a standard installation, primary voltage variations from 105 to 125 volts will not
cause any lamp failure or nicker. However, the light output will be affected and in
occasional cases there may be a difference in brightness between the capacitive and
the inductive lamp when the primary voltage falls below 108 volts.
COLOVOLT lamps are highly practical for continuous line lighting because they
are long light sources (standard length
93"
plus or minus \") and because the number
of sockets and connections needed are substantially reduced.
Every COLOVOLT lamp is guaranteed for one year except for failure due to
breakage.
