7.5.3 Luminaire 
Optimisation 
With the mentioned measuring principle the best correlation between 
ambient temperature and cold spot temperature of the T5-lamps is 
achieved. 
7.5.4 Maximum luminous 
flux for FH
®
…HE 
fluorescent lamps 
So called Horseshoe Curve shows the correlation in between the cold spot 
temperature and the ambient temperature ta. 
7.5.5 Verticalness 
Operation 
If luminares are operated in horizontal position the lamp stamp of the 
FH
®
…HE und FQ
®
…HO fluorescent lamps have to be placed down. 
Luminaires with circular FC
®
 lamps have to have the lamp socket 
positioned down. 
Attach the thermocouples in the area of the lamp caps 
within a distance of 2mm from the glass tube 
x
Measuring point with the best correlation 
between cold-spot temperature and 
ambient temperature
