Specifications

Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting draw very little power for the light they deliver. Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting produce up to 80 lumens per watt. Halogen lights typically produce 15-18 lumens per watt, and the most efficient white LEDs on the market produce 23 lumens per watt.

The TIR lens enhances Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting efficiency. With the TIR lens, the CCF’s provide peak illumination 4 to 8 times that of halogen and incandescent sources (of equivalent power draw). Furthermore, the Surface Mount CCFs have an equivalent peak illumination of typical hot-cathode fluorescent lights that consume 50-75% more power. This significantly reduced power requirement means that: More lights can be run for longer periods on batteries before recharging. The electrical system (batteries, alternator, charger/converter, gauge of wire for lighting circuits) can be downsized

Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting operate at a much lower fixture temperature. Increased efficiency means you are generating more light for the power you consume; this is essential when considering you have limited power capabilities on a boat, RV, or off grid system. This increase in efficiency means more energy is converted to light and not heat. Therefore, CCF’s do not strain air conditioning loads, nor do they create fire hazards, or cause harm from accidental contact.

Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting provide up to 25,000 hours of service life and unlimited starts. The CCFs are similar in construction to neon lights, and because of this you receive the long-life you would expect with this light source. The CCFs are rated at 25,000 hours of life, which translates into less time, expense, and hassle associated with changing bulbs.

Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting have unmatched durability. The CCFs are very durable due to their tube and ballast construction, and hold up under shock and vibration typically experienced in the commercial and recreational marine, RV, and truck markets. These components are also built to operate under varying degrees of electrical power, and endure voltage spikes and drops without any damage. Furthermore, the bezels are stainless steel-based, and clear coated (brass and gold versions) to ensure that all finishes stand up to corrosive elements.

Energy saving dimming capability is incorporated into the Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting. Dimming is rare if not impossible with typical hot-cathode fluorescent lights, as this substantially erodes the thin wire filament and degrades the tube even further (the life-time is already significantly reduced under conditions of shock and vibration). Not only is this possible with Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting, you actually reduce power consumption and thus draw on the batteries when you dim the lights. Using a proprietary pulse group modulation, you can control light output and reduce current draw proportionately, thus dim efficiently. This benefit is especially useful at night, when a low light level maybe desired without drawing down your battery capacity. A single Taylorbrite dimmer can control as many CCFs as required.

Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting feature a superior stainless-steel packaging. The Taylorbrite Cold Cathode Fluorescent Interior DC Lighting have attractive bezels that feature white powder coating, gold, chrome, and brass plating over a stainless steel base surface. These fixtures, combined with at warm color temperature (3000°K similar to halogen and incandescent), not only look good, but they make your interiors look good also.
