PHILLIPS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PHILLIPS from 3G Electric.
What are the wattage and color temperature options for Phillips LED U-bend lamps?
Phillips LED U-bend lamps are available in 11.5 W, 13 W, and 15 W versions, all with a 6500 K color temperature. They use a medium bi-pin (G13) base and have a 6-inch U-bend leg spacing. These lamps are UL Type B (ballast-bypass), meaning they operate without a ballast, which simplifies retrofit projects in troffer fixtures. The 6500 K color temperature produces a cool, daylight-like output suitable for task lighting and general illumination in commercial and industrial settings. When selecting, verify that the fixture is compatible with ballast-bypass operation and that the leg spacing matches the socket configuration.
What is the difference between the Phillips PAR38 LED lamps with SKU 912CD0 and 912CD1?
Both SKU 912CD0 and 912CD1 are Phillips PAR38 LED lamps with a clear finish, 33 W power consumption, 120 V AC operation, medium screw (E26) base, and 3,000 lm output at 3000 K color temperature. The primary difference is that SKU 912CD1 is specified as shatter-resistant, while SKU 912CD0 is not. Shatter-resistant construction is beneficial in applications where glass breakage could contaminate products or create safety hazards, such as food processing or certain industrial environments. Both lamps are dimmable and suitable for track lighting, recessed cans, and other directional lighting applications. Choose based on whether shatter resistance is required for your installation.
What are the selectable wattage options for Phillips mogul screw base (EX39) high-output lamps?
Phillips mogul screw base (EX39) high-output lamps are available in two wattage selection ranges. One version offers 18 W, 27 W, or 36 W, and another offers 36 W, 45 W, or 54 W. Both use a corncob ED28 form factor and are designed as HID replacement lamps with universal burning positions. The 18/27/36 W version has a fixed 3000 K color temperature, while the 36/45/54 W version has a 4000 K color temperature. These lamps allow a single SKU to cover multiple brightness levels, reducing inventory complexity. They are direct replacements for metal halide or high-pressure sodium lamps in high-bay fixtures, post-top lights, and other high-output applications.
What are the specifications of the Phillips Quick Connect Junction Box with Push Down Springs?
The Phillips Quick Connect Junction Box with Push Down Springs (MPN 15-860) features push-down spring terminals for tool-free wire connections. It has a 10-inch wire length and a 1 1/4-inch overall length. This component is designed for fleet and vehicle maintenance applications, where quick and secure electrical connections are needed. The push-down spring mechanism eliminates the need for screwdrivers or other tools, speeding up installation and maintenance. It is suitable for various low-voltage and control wiring tasks in vehicles and equipment. 3G Electric supplies this junction box as part of its Phillips product offering, alongside lighting lamps and other electrical components.
Are Phillips PAR38 LED lamps dimmable and what is their lumen output?
Yes, Phillips PAR38 LED lamps are dimmable. They deliver 3,000 lm of light output at a 3000 K color temperature. The lamps operate at 120 V AC and consume 33 W, providing a significant energy reduction compared to equivalent halogen or incandescent PAR38 lamps. The medium screw (E26) base makes them compatible with standard sockets. They are suitable for track lighting, recessed downlights, and other applications where directional light is required. The clear finish provides a crisp, bright beam. When dimming, ensure the dimmer switch is compatible with LED loads to avoid flickering or reduced dimming range.
What base types are available across the Phillips lighting range from 3G Electric?
The Phillips lighting range available from 3G Electric includes several base types: medium bi-pin (G13) for U-bend lamps, medium screw (E26) for PAR38 lamps, and mogul screw (EX39) for high-output corncob lamps. Each base type corresponds to specific fixture sockets and applications. G13 bases are common in linear fluorescent and LED troffer fixtures. E26 bases are standard for household and commercial screw-in fixtures. EX39 bases are used in high-intensity discharge fixtures and high-bay luminaires. When replacing lamps, always match the base type to the existing socket to ensure compatibility. 3G Electric provides detailed base specifications in product listings to assist with selection.
