LAMP LIFE CALCULATOR
Use this reference to help plan your maintenance and get the most from
your lightsource. Works with any lightsource brand using
EKE, DDL, or EJA Quartz Halogen lamps. Because FTI's SOL-R™ models
feature integral digital voltage display, the information can
be put directly into the
lightsource with ease and accuracy.
Under the applicable lamp type, choose a voltage value from the center
column. The left and right hand column show resulting
intensity and mean life in hours.
To set the lightsource for a predetermined lamp life, make a selection
from the right hand column. The resulting intensity will
be displayed, along with the required input voltage.
The matrix is calibrated to display results for 1% differences in intensity
(up to 50% intensity). Therefore, when selecting a lamp
life value, choose a value closest to the desired target. If
you want to know what happens
when the lamp receives more than full rated voltage, or you
require more precise values, download our spreadsheet, or
contact us.
Of course, this information can only be used as a guide, as many influencing
factors affect lamp life. For more information on lamps, click
