Philips CorePro LED PLC builds on the successful Philips MASTER LEDtube InstantFit, using the same click-to-fit technology for replacing CFLni lamps that work with existing Electro Magnetic (EM) and High Frequency (HF) ballasts.<\/p>\n
The new lamp will be targeted at replacing the 150 million CFLni lamps found across Europe and provides 60% energy saving over conventional PL-C lamps.<\/p>\n
The Philips CorePro LED PLC range is the first retrofit LED alternative to compact fluorescent lamps in down lighting applications that comes in a fully retrofit form factor and offers EM and HF ballast compatible versions. Used for general lighting applications, Philips Lighting has re-imaged one of the world\u2019s most common lamps used in downlights.<\/p>\n
The new lamps simply plug and play into existing fittings. Philips CorePro LED PLC deliver energy savings up to 60% and has a lifetime that is three times longer than conventional fluorescent PL-C lamps.<\/p>\n
Installation and maintenance costs are also kept to the bare minimum thanks to simple plug and play installation and the robust, shatterproof plastic housing.<\/p>\n
The average pay-back time is less than two years.<\/p>\n
