MASTER PL-R Eco is an extremely efficient compact fluorescent lamp for downlight applications. It consists of six parallel tubes with a new innovative ‘twist and lock’ lamp base, designed for operation with electronic gear. The MASTER PL-R Eco contains the original bridge technology invented and patented by Philips. This guarantees optimum performance in the application and results in significantly higher efficacies than with regular compact fluorescent lamps. On top of that, MASTER PL-R Eco lamps offer more than double the service life of a standard compact fluorescent lamp, thanks to superior lumen maintenance. The ‘twist and lock’ lamp base provides easy and safe (dis-)mounting and sturdy fixation in the luminaire.
Benefits
Up to 50% less energy consumption in application versus 18 and 26W PL-C/T on electromagnetic ballasts for comparable lighting levels

Applications
Designed for general down-lighting in (semi-)professional indoor applications: offices, retail, hospitals, governmental and public buildings
Ideal for use in recessed or surface mounted downlighters, wall units
Suitable for use in applications where maintenance costs are high (high ceilings, difficult to reach):department stores, supermarkets, warehouses, production halls and public areas
Warning & Safety
Lamp light technical and electrical characteristics are influenced by operating conditions, i.e. lamp ambient temperature and operating position as well as applied HF control gear
Shorter lamp life when often switching and not well pre-heated electrodes
A lamp breaking is extremely unlikely to have any impact on your health. If a lamp breaks, ventilate the room for 30 minutes and remove the parts, preferably with gloves. Put them in a sealed plastic bag and take it to your local waste facilities for recycling. Do not use a vacuum cleaner.
