CF26349-28B

Cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) are an efficient type of lamps that utilize a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-discharge system to generate light. The CF26349-28B is a particular CCFL design from the Phillips Lighting Company that is used in a variety of applications and is based on a precise working principle.

The CF26349-28B is designed to provide a power saving alternative to traditional fluorescent lighting. It is based on the principle of a vacuum discharge lamp - meaning that no external electric field is required for the lamp to operate. The discharge is initiated by a low-voltage electrical pulse, and sustained thereafter by an ionized gas. The current in this ionized path ionizes the mercury atoms in the lamp, producing visible, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation. The combination of these radiations gives the CF26349-28B its unique color characteristics and is why it is commonly used for task lighting, UV curing, and other specialized applications.

The working of the CF26349-28B is based on the configuration of the lamp and the electrical system that powers it. The lamp consists of an evacuated tube that runs along the length of the device. Inside this tube, a mixture of inert gasses - argon, neon, and mercury - are used to generate the ionizing effect. A pair of electrodes at the center of the tube supply the electric power required to operate the lamp. The electrodes can be of either a high-voltage or low-voltage type, depending on the application.

The electrical system of the CF26349-28B consists of an inverter, a ballast, and a transformer. The inverter supplies the required electric power to initiate and maintain the ionizing process within the lamp tube. The ballast regulates the current flow through the electrodes. The transformer provides the electrical isolation required to protect the system in case of any overvoltage or overcurrent events.

The CF26349-28B is a multi-spectral, low-energy CCFL lamp that is an ideal choice for a variety of applications. It is often used in task lighting, UV curing, medical applications, and general lighting. Its high efficiency and long life make it a cost-effective option compared to traditional fluorescent lighting. Thanks to its precise working principle and reliable configuration, the CF26349-28B is a great option for professionals looking for an energy-efficient, durable CCFL lamp.
