Rep Power: 0 | Re: What is the powder on the lamps? How often do you wipe down the inside of the acrylics and lamps that are in your beds? Also how often do you clean the inside of the beds, fans, etc? I am trying to keep a regular cleaning/maintenance schedule on top of the regular daily/weekly duties my staff already complete.

Rep Power: 0 | Re: What is the powder on the lamps? Here are a couple of examples. The coating is to aid in starting. It breaks moisture buildup. Lamps that run on magnetic ballasts require a ground plane to start. If the dielecteic conductivity is reduced betweem the glass and the ground plane then the lamp will not start. So in conclusion, DO NOT WIPE OFF THE COATING!!! Lamps that run on choke ballasts do not require a ground plane so dielecteic conductivity between the glass and the ground plane is not an issue moisture on the glass does not affect the starting of the lamp as it does not rely on the ground plane. This is why the coating is only found on RDC lamps. http://www.gelighting.com/eu/resourc...dule05/08.html http://www.lamptech.co.uk/Spec%20She...a%20MCFA20.htm Last edited by Brian Oshman; 02-02-2012 at 11:31 PM. |
