DC LightingWhen looking at different lamps, it is important to have an idea of the total system cost, not simply the lamp cost. This can be done by looking at three characteristics: the light output efficiency (measured in lumens/Watt), the number of switching cyles, and the lamp's lifespan. After doing so, we believe the Phocos lamps will stand-out for their overall value, as you will find the slightly higher comparitive price will quickly pay off. Click here for more information. All lamps available in Cold and Warm cathode, unless otherwise stated.  CFL Lamps: 3W, 5W, 7W, 9W, 11WDC Compact Fluorescent LampsThis high-quality 12V tops the field in efficiency and price-performance ratio, and fits into all types of 12V DC systems. A World Bank favorite, they have been successfully integrated into Rural Electrification projects all over the world.  CFL Lamps: 15W, 30WDC Compact Fluorescent LampsThese higher powered lamps are ideal for street lighting applications or for anything else that requires a higher light output. CFL Lamps:15W (24V)DC Compact Fluorescent LampsThis high quality 24V DC lamp can be used directly in 24V battery or solar systems.  CFL Detachable Lamps: 5W, 7W, 11W, 15WDC Compact Fluorescent Lamps, Detachable TubeThis lamp's lifespan greatly exceeds those of regular CFL lamps, which „go when the bulb goes.“ With the use of these detachable tube lamps, whose tubes can be easily replaced after they burn out, the value and efficiency of the overall lamp is increased many-fold.  LED Lamps: 1WLED Lamps for Solar ApplicationsThis sturdy LED ensures constant light output: unlike with other lower-quality LEDs, one can count on the same amount of light over its lifespan.  CFL With Housing (9W-11W)CF Lamp With Housing -- DC Compact Fluorescent Lamp with OTPThe CF lamps with housing offer additional bulb protection, come equipped with a switch, and have high efficiency and low power consumption. Simple replaceable bulbs multiply the lamp's lifespan and value several-fold. |
