About this manual

The catalogue lists a wide range of lamps – filament, neon and LED – together with their electrical ratings, dimensions and medium operating life. It also includes guidance on colour lenses, protective diodes for LEDs and safety notes such as EMC and CE‑conformity.

Technical data sheets for each lamp type give rated voltage, current, power and typical operating life. Accessories such as lamp extractors and recommended series resistors for LED circuits are also described.

Frequently asked questions

What resistor should be used for a 12‑14 V LED circuit?

A 680 Ω resistor rated 0.50 W is recommended.

How long do LED lamps last under normal conditions?

LED lamps are rated for an operating life of 100,000 hours at 25 °C.

What is the current tolerance for neon lamps?

Neon lamps have a rated current tolerance of plus or minus 30 %.

Do the lamps fall under the Low‑voltage Directive?

No, illumination lamps and LEDs are not steadily connected to the network, so the Low‑voltage Directive does not apply.
