Please forgive me if my choice of my words looks like offensive, while that isn't my intention.
I only working with the international date format (dd.mm.yyyy).
I lives in Israel, which is a 220-240V, 50hz country.

| Hi Dor
Thanks for your reply. T is tubular - but what do the H and I represent? Does H = Halide, I = Intensity?
If you could further clarify I'd appreciate it.

| H could mean mercury as it's chemical symbol is Hg. Not always the case as HPS means high pressure sodium. However in North American nomenclature, the H means mercury vapour (H33 is 400 watt mercury vapour).

| The "H" looks like a symbol for a "high pressure",
"S" for sodium, "I" for iodine,
"T" for tubular.
(just my guesses)
There is no real international standard on how to label the lamps, practically each major maker uses it's own system. There are some "national" standards, but these are used only by some makers based in the given country and as no more than one major maker is present in one country, it usually means system of that major maker, the small ones usually just follow...

Yes these is a lamp coding system mosty used in german spoken countries. It is known as LBS (Lampen Bezeichnungs System) or for other countries it is called LBS (Lamp Designation System). The whole system is published by the trade assosiation called ZVEI: ( Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie). In the Internet you will find the complete list of all different kind of lamps and their designation. |
