Philips Lighting 532903 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to rewire the fixture or remove the ballast to install this Philips 16.5W PL-L LED tube?
No rewiring. The Philips 16.5W PL-L LED lamp is a UL Type A lamp, meaning it runs on the existing fluorescent ballast, so it drops straight into the 2G11 sockets and you are done. Keep in mind the ballast has to stay in the circuit and keep working; when it eventually fails, the lamp goes dark with it.
2) Will this LED lamp work on my existing PL-L fluorescent ballast, or do I need to check something first?
Check the ballast's output against the lamp's operating window. This PL-L LED retrofit runs at 70-110 V with a lamp current between 200 mA and 400 mA, on a ballast output frequency of 40,000 to 160,000 Hz. That covers typical electronic PL-L ballasts. If the fixture uses an older magnetic ballast operating outside that frequency band, the lamp is not a match for it.
3) Can I put this PL-L LED lamp on a dimmer?
No. The Philips 16.5W PL-L LED tube is non-dimmable. Putting it on a dimming ballast or a wall dimmer will give you flicker or no start at all. For a space that needs dimming, spec a lamp rated for it rather than this one.
4) Is this PL-L LED lamp OK in an unheated parking garage or exterior canopy fixture?
It runs in ambient temperatures from -20 C up to 45 C, which covers most unheated garages and covered exterior fixtures in moderate climates. Case temperature tops out at 75 C, so a tightly enclosed lensed fixture in a hot mechanical space is the situation to watch. Storage range is -40 C to 65 C if stock sits in a trailer or an attic stockroom.
5) Does this Philips PL-L LED retrofit qualify for a utility rebate?
It carries DLC Standard listing, which is the qualification most utility prescriptive rebate programs require for LED retrofit lamps. It is also EU RoHS compliant. Rebate amounts and program rules vary by utility, so confirm the DLC Standard tier is accepted on the program you are filing under.
6) Will these lamps look consistent from fixture to fixture across a floor?
Color consistency is held to under 6 SDCM, and every lamp is 82 CRI at the ordered color temperature. Across a run of fixtures in the same corridor that keeps visible color shift down, provided you order all of one color temperature rather than mixing the 3500K and 4000K versions.
7) Will this LED retrofit trip the breaker or upset power quality if I install hundreds of them in a building?
Power factor is 0.9 nominal at 16.5 W per lamp. On a large-scale changeout the connected load per fixture drops substantially against the fluorescent lamp plus ballast it replaces, so existing branch circuits end up loaded lighter, not heavier.
