Figure 36: This is achieved by a reduction of the system power.
Figure 37: Even so the luminous flux of the luminaire hardly de-
creases because the level of efficiency of the system increases due
to the temperature limitation.
Figure 38: The clear rise in the relative light output shows that the
temperature limitation has a positive effect on the energy saving of
hot luminaires.
Measurements using an example of a narrow 2x80 W luminaire:
The precise scaling depends on the type of luminaire and the installa-
tion conditions of the ECG.
