Philips Trueforce CorePro LED HPL Bulb 18W E27 3000K 3000lm

The Philips Trueforce CorePro LED HPL 18W E27 bulb is a high-performance lighting solution engineered to serve as an efficient, direct replacement for traditional 80W High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. Utilizing advanced HighPower LED filament technology, this bulb replicates the size and light distribution of conventional HID lamps, ensuring a seamless transition without compromising on illumination quality. With a luminous flux of 3000 lumens and a warm white color temperature of 3000K, it provides consistent and reliable light for various environments.

Advantages

This LED lamp offers significant energy savings compared to traditional HID lighting, allowing for a short payback period on the initial investment. Its robust design features a 300-degree beam angle, ensuring wide and uniform light distribution across the illuminated area. With a rated lifetime of 25,000 hours, it minimizes the need for frequent maintenance and replacements. Furthermore, the bulb is built with an IP65 rating, making it versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor lighting applications.

Suitable for

• Industrial and warehouse lighting
• Outdoor area lighting
• Street and pathway illumination
• High-ceiling indoor spaces
• Replacement of traditional HID lamps

When it may not be suitable

This bulb is not designed for use with dimming systems and should not be connected to a dimmer switch, as this may damage the internal electronics. Additionally, it may not be suitable for enclosed fixtures that do not provide adequate heat dissipation, as excessive heat can reduce the lifespan of the LED components.

How to use

Installation is straightforward due to the standard E27 base, which fits into most existing HID lamp sockets. Before installation, ensure that the power supply to the fixture is switched off to prevent electrical hazards. Remove the old HID lamp and screw the Philips Trueforce CorePro LED bulb securely into the socket. Once installed, restore power to the circuit. No additional ballast modifications are typically required if the installation follows the manufacturer's guidelines for direct replacement.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the fixture dimensions can accommodate the bulb size.
• Ensure the existing socket is compatible with an E27 base.
• Check that the fixture is not connected to a dimmer switch.
• Confirm that the application environment does not exceed the operating temperature limits.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the bulb is installed in a fixture that allows for proper airflow. Avoid using this lamp in fully sealed, airtight luminaires unless they are specifically rated for LED heat dissipation.
