Tungsram

Tungsram portfolio for maintenance programs and retrofit projects

Tungsram covers general service lamps, discharge and metal-halide sources, fluorescent systems, specialty references, and automotive lines. Below is a buyer-centric guide to help engineering and procurement standardize SKUs, meet photometric targets, and reduce downtime across multi-site estates.

Tungsram category map and where each family fits

Start broad when building a mixed bill of materials in Tungsram lamps, then narrow by technology and application:

• For stadiums, façades, and high-bay tasks, shortlist gas discharge lamps.
• For retail accents, galleries, and high-output projectors, use Tungsram metal halide lamps; when optics are defined by the luminaire, choose metal halide lamps without reflector.
• Niche and technical use cases live under special lamps.
• Fleet maintenance is covered by automotive lamps.
• For panels, indicators, and control stations, specify indication and signalling lamps.

Tungsram fluorescent systems for legacy estates and staged upgrades

Keep existing luminaires productive while planning LED migration:

• Core references are in fluorescent tubes.
• Match 26 mm formats via fluorescent tubes T8 and slim formats via fluorescent tubes T5; for circular fixtures use circular fluorescent tubes T5.
• Compact forms with integral electronics sit in CFL bulbs, while control-gear-driven types belong to compact fluorescent lamps without integrated ballast.

Engineering checks for fluorescent
Ballast type (HF vs EM), starter spec, length and wattage equivalence, ambient range and starting behaviour, lumen maintenance, colour policy (2700 K, 3000 K, 4000 K), and flicker metrics for offices and camera environments.

Tungsram general service lamps for fast building maintenance

Standardize spares and keep visual uniformity:

• Mixed estates and rapid replacements belong to Tungsram light bulbs.
• For heritage ambience and full dimmer compatibility, stock incandescent bulbs where regulations and site policy allow.
• For miniature fixtures with G5 caps, use G5 light bulbs.

Selection tips
Replace on lumens, not watts; define a CCT and CRI policy by zone (CRI 90 for retail displays, CRI 80 for corridors); verify envelope temperature in enclosed shades; confirm dimmer type and low-level stability where applicable.

Tungsram metal halide and discharge best-practice

• Photometrics: choose beam and CCT by task; document target lux for aisles, displays, and façades.
• Electrical: confirm ignitor/ballast compatibility, surge class, warm-up and restrike times.
• Thermal: check luminaire tc points and ventilation; record case temperatures in acceptance tests.
• Maintenance: group relamp in high-access areas; track hours and colour shift, keep labelled spares.

Application playbooks with Tungsram

• Retail and hospitality: high CRI and controlled beams for merchandise; warm CCT in seating zones; low flicker on dimmed circuits.
• Museums and galleries: tight beams, UV-controlled sources, stable CCT; schedule lux/UV audits.
• Logistics and light industry: high lumen packages, wide beams, robust starting in cold bays; verify IP/IK of luminaires.
• Public and exterior: select discharge or MH with suitable surge immunity; align CCT to local lighting policy and wildlife considerations.
• Automotive service: maintain charts for H-series and signal types; replace in pairs to keep beam symmetry.

Procurement and QA checklist

1. Lumen targets by zone, UGR requirements for offices, and CCT/CRI policy in the spec.
2. Electrical data sheets for ballasts/ignitors, surge classes, voltage tolerance.
3. Environmental limits ambient, IP/IK, UV stability, vibration where applicable.
4. Acceptance tests: illuminance spot checks, CCT sampling, flicker and dimmer behaviour, fit tests in representative luminaires.
5. Traceability: hold DoC, EN test summaries, batch codes; label shelves by base/cap, CCT, and lumen class.
