Lynx and Mini-Lynx Product Range Summary

Introduction
Compact fluorescent (CFL’s) is one of the
fastest growing new lamp technologies today,
evolved from tubular fluorescent lamps. CFL’s
are designed as an energy efficient, environ-
mentally friendly and easy-to-use range of
lamps. They are used in applications such as:
Outdoor Amenity
Task Lighting
Home Lighting, replacing the traditional GLS
lamp
Indoor Commercial Lighting, particularly re-
cessed Downlights and Modular Low bright-
ness types.
Lynx Compact-S (Single, 2-pin base) and
SE (Single, 4-pin base): The simplest in
construction and most common of the CFL’s
for new luminaires, they offer the simplest
design solutions for a luminaire designer
considering CFL’s as an option to GLS. They
are designed as an energy saver alternative
to GLS Incandescent lamps typically used in
amenity or task lighting. S versions are
starter-incorporated but SE versions are de-
signed principally for electronic ballast opera-
tion. Ratings from 5W (250 lumens) up to
11W (900 lumens) are available.

 TECHNICAL MANUAL

Lynx Compact-D (Double, 2-pin base) and

DE (Double, 4-pin base): Increased power
and lumen output compared to CF-S and SE
due to their multi-limb design but without
increasing overall length. Typically used in
commercial interior lighting. D versions are
starter incorporated but DE versions are de-
signed for electronic ballast operation and are
suitable for dimming applications. Ratings
from 10W (600 lumens) to 26W (1800 lu-
mens) are available.
Lynx Compact-L and LE: The high power
equivalent of the CF-S and CF-SE lamps,
similar in output to the New Generation
Triphosphor T8 range of Luxline Plus, but of
significantly shorter length (less than 600mm)
than their linear double-ended counterparts.
Popularly used in commercial interior lighting
where the appearance of the suspended
ceiling is a concern. All types require an ex-
ternal starter. L versions are available in 18W
(1200 lumens) up to 36W (3300 lumens) and
LE versions, which are only for electronic
ballast operation, are available in 40W (3500
lumens) and 55W (4800 lumens) versions.
Lynx Compact -T (Triple, 2-pin base) and
TE (Triple, 4-pin base): These lamps are
evolved from the double multi-limb design for
use where still more light output is needed
without increasing overall length. In addition,
the arrangement of the lamp limbs provides
the most symmetrical luminous intensity dis-
tribution of all CFL lamps. Ballasting and
application requirements are generally similar
to those for CF-D and CF-DE. Lamps are
available from 18W (1200 lumens) up to 32W
(2400 lumens).

 TECHNICAL MANUAL

Lynx Compact F (Flat type, 4-pin): As an

alternative to clustering the multi-limb lamp
designs, the limbs of the F ‘flat’ lamp are laid
out in a slab form for low height amenity
luminaires where more light is needed than
from the CF-S range. Ballasting and power
ratings are similar to those specified for CF-L
range, from 18W (1100 lumens) up to 36W
(2800 lumens).

Self-ballasted CF lamps for direct replace-

ment of GLS Incandescent lamps.

Mini-Lynx Range: The ideal, long life most

energy-efficient replacement lamp for a
domestic GLS in all but the very smallest
luminaires. Mini-Lynx is available in 6 power
ratings from 5W (250 lumens = circa 25W
GLS) up to 23W (1300 lumens = circa 150W
GLS), in either E14 (7W from mid 1998), E27
or B22 and in several useful colours. Ad-
vanced features such as auto-switching and
application specific colours are offered, as
detailed below:
Mini-Lynx Professional: Double limbed
5-20W; 15, 20W and 23W triple-limbed lamps
driven from a very efficient integral electronic
high frequency ballast, which gives high light
output sustained for a long 12000 hours of
average life.

 TECHNICAL MANUAL

Mini-Lynx Automatic: Specification as for

the Professional but with an autoswitch fea-
ture via a photocell (light sensor). When the
ambient light sensed by the cell is less than
15 lux the lamp will switch on automatically.
Ideal for exterior night security lighting where
no local surveillance is practical or available,
which offers increased security and reassur-
ance both for residential and commercial
premises.
Mini-Lynx Pastels: The first lamp range of its
kind to offer tinted phosphors. Specification is
similar to the Professional series but with
Rose and Apricot colour options for leisure
applications where a welcoming or more
intimate atmosphere is desired. Mini-Lynx
Pastels are particularly suited for domestic
applications, where their softer light colour
options provide a most comfortable atmos-
phere wherever used.
Mini-Lynx Instant: A basic design version of
the Professional but with a ‘rapid start’ char-
acteristic which improves the speed of switch-
on and avoids flickering or delays during
starting.
Lynx-ES Energy Saver: A simple, cost-
effective magnetically ballasted CFL designed
to replace a GLS in the home.

Principles of Operation

Compact fluorescent lamps belong technologically to the very large

group of low pressure tubular Mercury vapour discharge types. Cur-
rent is fed into the lamp by electrodes sealed into the ends of a glass
discharge chamber. The discharge chamber may have several folded
interlinks and is filled with a very low pressure of Argon gas and a
small quantity of Mercury in vapour form, circa 6 milligram. By means
of a process of excitation of the Mercury vapour, photons of ultra-
violet light are produced by the discharge which irradiate phosphores-
cent materials on the inner wall of the glass tube producing visible
light. All Sylvania’s CFL’s use the premium quality new generation
trichromatic (triphosphor) materials which are available in five differ-
ent colour tints for varying application needs.
All CFL’s require a power stabilisation device known as a ballast,
which may be of the magnetic inductor or a high frequency electronic
type. In the case of Mini-Lynx and Lynx-ES self ballasted lamps, the
ballast together with the starting aid are contained within the device
housing and are designed to be directly plugged in to the electrical
supply.
All 2-pin and 4-pin lamp cap CFL’s must be operated from an external
ballast of the correct line voltage input and lamp current output. 2-pin,
and self ballasted B22, E14 and E27 types contain an internal starter
however they may not be used on a dimming circuit. 4-pin lamps
must use a suitable external starter with a peak pulse of around 800
volts.
Mini-Lynx and Lynx-ES Energy Saver lamps contain integral HF elec-
tronic and magnetic inductor ballasts respectively. They comply with
CENELEC’s electromagnetic compatibility and conducted RF emis-
sion limits (see page 18 for further information).
In the HF ballast the 230-240V AC supply is first converted into a
smooth DC current then into a high frequency output (30KHz) by an
electronic ballast which is designed to give the Mini-Lynx its long
12,000 hour life.

Construction

Sylvania’s compact fluorescent lamps are manufactured using mod-

ern highest quality materials for a long service life to current EN and
IEC standards and are also CE marked. The most important ele-
ments of lamp construction are listed below :

Lamp glass: Tough, high optical transmission soda-lime glass

mounted in single or multiple-limb configurations
for optimum mechanical strength which gives a
highly robust construction.
Electrodes: Bead-mount type tungsten coil coated with
thermionic emitter for long lamp life.
Gas-fill: Inert Argon at low pressure for easy starting over
a wide range of temperatures (e.g. -15 to +50 C).
Phosphor type: New generation Luxline Triphosphor for high
luminous efficacy through life. These new
phosphors give the highest light output and
maintain it to c. 90% of the initial value after
more than 10,000 hours.
Cap: Rugged aluminium protective ferrule crimped
Lynx-S type over high impact and high temperature resistant
plastic housing. Brass contact pins ensure a
good electrical contact to the ballast to ensure
trouble-free operation through life.
Cap: As above but with the base housing constructed
All other types entirely in plastic.

Mini-Lynx: Generally as above but with E14 (SES) nickel-

plated E27 (ES) or B22 (BC) mains voltage
cap to ensure easy fitting and removal.

Mini-Lynx Ballast: Miniaturised solid state using the highest quality

components mounted on the most modern
SMD (surface-mounted device) circuit board.
These modern manufacturing techniques ensure
a long 12,000 hour average life.

Applications and Target Markets

Lynx Compact Fluorescent lamps are suitable for a wide range of

applications both where Incandescent lamps might be used, or in new
applications made possible by their compact construction e.g. small
area floodlights, construction site task lighting. Some of the main
applications are listed below:

Lynx-S 2-pin: For outdoor and indoor amenity use and for
anglepoise-style task and inspection lighting.
Lynx-SE 4-pin: For use with HF electronic ballasts and dimming
circuits in emergency/escape applications, traffic
bollards and modern beer taps.
Lynx-D 2-pin: Indoor commercial downlights.
Lynx-DE 4-pin: As above but suitable for dimming and
emergency/escape purposes, where the use of
HF ballasts is essential to meeting installation
performance standards.
Lynx-L and LE: For use in small outdoor floodlights (18 and
24W) and for ceiling-mounted indoor commer-
cial 600 X 600 mm format recessed modular
luminaires with low brightness mirror-louvre
designs (36, 40 and 55W).
Lynx-T: Also for downlights but where the axial lamp
orientation to the luminaire reflector provides a
better symmetrical intensity pattern.
Lynx-TE: As above but for HF electronic operation. Note
that not all types may be dimmed -see pages 33
and 34 of this technical brochure for guidance.
Lynx-F: Ideal for wall and ceiling mounted indoor and
outdoor amenity luminaires. The “slab” construc-
tion allows full diffuser flashing particularly for
square format luminaires and the low profile of
the lamp (25mm) allows for a shallow luminaire
depth which reduces protrusion from the mount-
ing surface.

Applications and Target Markets cont.

Mini-Lynx For any application where a GLS incandescent

Professional: is used, where there is sufficient space available
in the luminaire and where energy-saving and a
long operating life is desired.
Mini-Lynx As above, but where a quick switch-on, avoiding
Instant: flickering and delays, is preferred.
Mini-Lynx Similar to the Professional but with the added
Automatic: feature of a light sensitive cell to provide auto-
matic switching of the lamp when ambient light
levels fall below 15 lux. Ideal for security ‘guard’
overnight applications such as porch lighting, (in
a closed protection) luminaire with moisture and
rain ingress protection.
Mini-Lynx Similar to Professional but designed to provide
Pastels: a softer light in pubs, clubs and restaurants and
home lighting applications such as in dining
areas and bedrooms.
Lynx-ES An inexpensive, magnetically ballasted and
Energy Saver: larger version of the Mini-Lynx, mainly for use in
the home to replace GLS and where there is little
or no restriction on size or weight of the replace-
ment CFL.

Relative Features and Benefits

The Lynx CFL range was originally conceived in the mid-1980’s as a

response to the need for long life energy-saving alternatives to GLS
incandescent lamps. Subsequent product evolution has allowed the
design and development of many new concept luminaires. The princi-
pal features and benefits are listed below:

Product Feature Related benefit

1. Compact dimensions Attractive new design or re-

and light weight (<100g) placement alternative to GLS
incandescent

2. High luminous efficacy, For similar light outputs there

c. 60 lumens/Watt are substantial energy savings
available compared to a GLS
lamp, which has en efficacy of
only 13 lumens/Watt

3. Multi-limb designs More flexible and novel optical

and mechanical design of
luminaires is possible

4. Long life of 10-12,000 hours Reduced maintenance required

versus a 1000 hour GLS, since
the CFL lasts up to 12 times
longer, the labour cost or incon-
venience of replacing a lamp is
vastly reduced

5. Range of lamp colours Better adaptation of colours to

available with CRI of 85 the application and easier com-
(DIN Class 1b-very good) bination with linear T8 of similar
Luxline Triphosphor colour in
professional installations, which
enables all the benefits (90% of
initial lumens over 10,000 hours)
to be available throughout the
installation

 TECHNICAL MANUAL

Amalgam lamps: The word Amalgam refers to a Mercury

metal alloy which replaces free Mercury.
Depending on the operating pressure of the
lamp more or less Mercury is released into
the discharge tube, optimising performance.

The principal benefits are:

• Since the Mercury pressure is more stable, light output through life is
also more stable
• The lamp will always operate at its optimum pressure within a reason-
able range of ambient temperatures
• A much lower Mercury content is needed

For the luminaire designer there is:

• Greater flexibility in operating position
• More light output through life

Ballast Recommendations

Remote ballasted Lynx CFL’s may be operated on 50Hz magnetic

inductor ballasts, on 12-24V DC input inverters or HF electronic bal-
lasts (see next section for further information).

DC Operation
It is permissible to operate 4-pin CF-L lamps on 12-24V DC inverters
but after a few hours of operation the lamp may show a dark, unlit
zone due to Mercury migration. After switching off and cooling down,
or reversing the polarity of the DC supply, the lamp will return to nor-
mal, however this process will repeat until the lamp is re-switched.

50Hz Operation

All Lynx CFL’s, except LE and TE 4-pin versions, may be operated on

50Hz electrical supplies. The table on page 32 outlines the require-
ments. Certain types may be operated in tandem i.e. two lamps may
be operated in series from a single ballast. Other types, which do not
include a built-in glo-bottle starter, must have a suitable starter in the
external circuit.

Power Factor
Uncorrected magnetic ballasts will give a relatively low power factor
between 0.3 and 0.5 lagging, which may be improved using a shunt-
connected capacitor connected at the input side of the ballast or
incoming terminal block. Please consult the ballast manufacturer for
further information.

30-40 kHz HF Operation

The Principal Benefits of Using HF Ballasts

• Flicker-free operation
• Instant light from switch-on and stabilisation after about 30 seconds
• Very low ballast power losses
• Light weight and convenient dimensions, particularly for multi-lamp
configurations
• Dimming options are available (except for amalgam versions of CF-TE
types)
• Life is often improved by over 20% versus 50Hz operation
Lynx-F, LE, CF-TE and Mini-Lynx are designed or provided with high
frequency (HF) ballasts. Modern HF ballasts, which conform to or ex-
ceed current standards will be of the low harmonic distortion, high power
factor type, and will meet the requirements for radio-frequency (RF)
emission.
Note that using a CE-marked HF ballast does not automatically confer
CE marking to a luminaire that incorporates it, since the lead positioning
between the lamps and the ballast can play a significant role in coupling
RF output from the ballast to the neutral of the mains supply. It is
strongly advised that RF testing, by an approved test station, is per-
formed on all equipment which embodies an HF ballast, where the end
product is to be CE marked.

Ballast Design Notes

1. Current crest factor: Electrode life may be severely shortened if the
lamp current crest factor (peak to r.m.s.) exceeds 1.80.
2. Built-in starter lamp types, such as CF-S, CF-D or CF-T with 2-pin
bases should not be operated on electronic ballasts.
3. Ensure that the lamp electrical data on pages 19 and 20 is observed as
it will vary compared to 50Hz operation. Consult the ballast manufac-
turer if compatibility is in doubt. Mini-Lynx incorporates an HF ballast
within the plastic housing, which enables a long life, energy saving
compact dimension plug-in solution to be offered for the GLS incandes-
cent.

 TECHNICAL MANUAL

Switching, Dimming and Continuous Operation

Switching
The frequency of switching/operat-
ing cycle is the most significant
factor in determining actual CFL
lamp life. Life testing is performed
in accordance with EN 60901 An-
nex C. on the basis of 8 switchings
per day. Lower switch frequencies
may lead to improved lamp life. See
graph for an indication of the rela-
tionship.

Dimming
Self ballasted: Mini-Lynx should not
be used on any dimming circuits
nor with circuits incorporating pas-
sive infra-red sensing switches.
Remote ballasted: All 4-pin based Lynx CFL lamps, (with the excep-
tion of amalgam type CF-TE 24W and 32W) are suitable for dimming
using analogue or digital HF dimming ballasts. Lamp life is not ex-
tended by dimming and the following points should be observed in
order not to shorten lamp life:
1. Ensure the dimming ballast is of the correct full output lamp cur-
rent rating for the lamp in use.
2. Only use a ballast type which provides a continuous preheat to
the lamp electrodes to ensure that power-up and down are
effected smoothly.
3. Lamp preheat currents should be calculated on the basis that the
hot resistance of each electrode is four times that when at room
temperature, generally about 48 ohm per electrode at 150 -190 mA
(hot).

COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS JANUARY 1998

34
 TECHNICAL MANUAL

Continuous Operation
Conditions can arise during continuous operation which can lead to
both lamp current and voltage rising. In the case of electrode failure
the lamp arc current may be conducted solely by the electrode sup-
port causing severe local overheating. If several operating circuits are
grouped on to one large capacity circuit breaker or fusible link, the
fuse sensitivity may be too low to cause a supply interruption. It is
therefore recommended that for continuous operation that each oper-
ating circuit is individually fused in the luminaire/device itself.

CFL’s In Use - Cost Saving Potential of CFL’s - Home Use

The cost saving potential of CFL’s is best illustrated by considering the

replacement of a number of GLS incandescents in the home by Mini-Lynx
Professional.
If 20 100W GLS are replaced by an equal number of Mini-Lynx Professional
20W lamps it is possible to calculate the pay back time for the cash outlay in
terms of the energy saved.
Cost of lamps 20 Mini-Lynx at ECU 21.74 each = ECU 434.80
less 20 100W GLS at ECU 0.73 ECU 14.60
Net cash outlay ECU 420.20
Cost of energy
Assumptions: 1000 average hours use per annum, per point.
Life of Mini-Lynx 12,000 hours; Life of GLS 1,000 hours
Unit kWh cost ECU 0.145
Power saved per point (100-20 Watt) - 80W (0.080 kW)
Power cost saved per point per year ECU 11.60
Total power cost saved per year ECU 232.00
Time to break even 1.8 years or 1800 hours
It is easy to see therefore that the purchase of a CFL, when compared to an
incandescent lamp, is recovered very quickly. This is a characteristic of all
such similar comparisons.
Cost-of-ownership - Professional Use
For hotels, restaurants, offices and institutional usage a calculation of the
total cost-of-ownership over the entire life of the lamp is more appropriate.
Just taking into consideration the cost of the replaced GLS lamps but disre-
garding the cost of maintenance, labour cost for lamp replacements and
capital interest yields the following savings:
Assumptions: 20 Mini-Lynx lamps are installed in an office, burning 10
hours per day, 5 days a week: With an average life expectancy of 12.000h
one Mini-Lynx lasts 4.61 years and replaces 12 GLS lamps.
Cost of lamps: 20 Mini-Lynx at ECU 21.74 = ECU 434.80
Less 12x20 GLS lamps at ECU 0.73 = ECU 175.20
Incremental cost of lamps = ECU 259.60
Energy savings: 20 x 12000 x .080 kWh at ECU 0.145 = ECU 784.00
A winning situation:
Energy savings are 6.4 times greater than the cost of the lamps!

 TECHNICAL MANUAL

Troubleshooting

General
Take all sensible safety precautions when investigating an apparent
fault.
Always check the fuse or circuit breaker in the external circuit first. If
tripped, reset or replace the fuse cartridge but if the fuse trips out
again then it is most likely the fault is in the luminaire (device) or
lamp. Next ensure that the correct lamp has been inserted into the
luminaire socket. The maker’s label should give the correct informa-
tion.

Self-ballasted lamps

Mini-Lynx and ES Energy Saver lamps are not user-serviceable and

should never be dismantled with a view to effecting a repair. Should a
fault develop an internal fuse has been provided which when tripped
cannot be repaired.

Remote-ballasted lamps

Please use the following checklist in order to determine how to rectify

the fault:

A. Lamp out
1. Check that the supply is switched on and that the external fuse has not
tripped. If the fuse trips again then:
a. Check that the power factor capacitor has not developed a short
circuit condition. You may remove it temporarily to check.
b. Check that all wiring insulation is in good condition. An electric strength
test with a PAT (portable appliance tester) should be made. Replace any
defective wiring. If the lamp still does not start then switch off and verify
that all internal wiring connections in the luminaire are properly con-
nected and go to 2.

COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS JANUARY 1998

40
 TECHNICAL MANUAL

2. Make sure that there is good ‘Earth’ continuity between the terminal
block and the luminaire frame. Repeat the PAT test and go to 3.
3. Switch off the electrical supply for at least 10 seconds and then switch
on again (certain electronic ballasts reset after switch-off if they have
been overloaded).
4. If no attempt to start the lamp is observed, switch off again and withdraw
the device’s local fuse, if serviceable. Check or replace the fuse.
5. If the lamp still does not start and the operating circuit contains a starter,
replace it.
6. If repeated starting is observed but the lamp does not sustain, then
replace the lamp.
7. Isolate the ballast and for choke inductors only perform a continuity
check using a multi-meter equipped with a low voltage DC battery.
Never ‘Megger’ test any ballast for any reason. If an open circuit or zero
impedance is found then replace the ballast.
8. If the lamp still does not start consult the manufacturer.

B. Lamp does not appear to give its full output

1. Ensure the correct lamp is fitted.
2. Check the electrical supply available voltage and match it to the ballast
maker’s label information. If ballast taps have been provided make sure
the most suitable one has been connected.
3. Check that the luminaire is venting properly to avoid heat building up.
Alternatively a cold forced air draught may cause lamps to be
overcooled requiring a nearby air conditioning inlet to be re-balanced.
4. The lamp is not burning in the optimum position in the luminaire/installa-
tion. Consult the manufacturer.

C. Overheating
Many instances of overheating are related to poor design or over-
running a luminaire with a lamp and/or ballast combination for which it
was never designed. Sometimes restricted ventilation or improper
burning position may be the cause. Use all common sense methods
to allow the luminaire to thermally stabilise properly. Consult the
manufacturer.

Disposal

Compact fluorescent lamps contain a small amount of Mercury

(c.6mg) within the fluorescent tube chambers. Consult your local
authority before the disposal of more than 6 lamps in normal waste
since regulations may be in force which require the lamps to be
treated as ‘special waste’. Mini-Lynx self ballasted lamps contain
electronic components which may also be the subject of additional
regulations regarding disposal.
DO NOT at under any circumstances attempt to crush or break up
any compact lamp, which should be disposed of as an integral unit,
particularly where waste will be disposed of by landfill.
