1.12 OSRAM ECG
Milestones
• For the first time in 1995, T5- fluorescent lamp systems with Cut-
off-technology have been introduced to the market.
Cut-off technology is the cut-off of the permanent filament
preheating after lamp ignition. This can be realized due to
modifications in the electronic circuit of the ECG. The result of the
Cut-off technology are less losses and optimized lamp operation.
• Four years later, in 1999, OSRAM sold the first reliable
MULTIWATT-ECG.
This operates all lamps with rated data.
• During the following years the trend of miniaturization continued and
the height of Electronic Control Gear was reduced by 30% from
30 mm to 21 mm.
In 2002, OSRAM is again the first manufacturer to introduce
MULTIWATT-ECG to operate FQ
®
…HO-fluorescent lamps High
Output in 21 mm height.
• In 2003, another novelty is brought to the T5-product segment: As
the first producer, OSRAM offers a 21 mm high 2-lamp ECG for
FQ
®
80 W HO-fluorescent lamps.
• In the beginning of 2004, the newest and most innovative member
of the T5-product family has been introduced: micro-controller
based ECG capable of operating T5-fluorescent lamps of equal
length regardless if it is a FH
®
…HE- or FQ
®
…HO-type. This micro-
controller especially developed under the co-operation with OSRAM
is responsible for clear lamp detection and lamp operation with
nominal data.
QUICKTRONIC INTELLIGENT, QTi make one MULTIWATT-ECG
possible for all T5-fluorescent lamps from 14 to 39 W no matter if
FH
®
…HE- or FQ
®
…HO-types.
