POWERBALL HCI ® FOR EVERY NEED

OSRAM – the world market leader in round ceramic arc tubes.

Innovative POWERBALL HCI ® lamps from OSRAM meet the highest standards in terms of color rendering and the quality and stability of the light. Innovative POWERBALL HCI ® high-intensity discharge lamps with round ceramic arc tubes (patented by OSRAM) provide even better performance than conventional cylindrical counterparts in terms of light, color and stability.

Powerful light – greater effect, lower costs:

• POWERBALL HCI ® lamps have exceptionally high luminous effi cacy and offer up to 30 % more light over their entire life than lamps of cylindrical ceramic design

• More light for existing installations – with no extra energy costs

• New installations can be planned with fewer light sources – which means lower installation, energy and maintenance costs

Authentic light – excellent color rendering, more natural colors:

• Better color rendering than quartz lamps or conventional ceramic lamps

• Natural high-contrast lighting

• Natural color rendering for products, materials and dyes

Long-life light – excellent durability, lower lamp replacement costs:

• Long average life of 12,000 hours for all

POWERBALL ® types

• Excellent quality of light and effi ciency over a very long period of time

• Lower operating and maintenance costs

• Faster amortization of installation costs

Reliable light – permanent high quality and quantity of light:

• Quartz lamps have one major drawback: the light color ages at different rates from lamp to lamp; this often results in lighting installations that look

un attractive because they seem to have a mix of colors

• Innovative POWERBALL HCI ® lamps from OSRAM offer optimum color constancy throughout their lives thanks to the robust ceramic arc tube that

ensures there are virtually no differences from lamp to lamp

Gentle light – protection for dyes and materials:

• UV fi lter technology is standard for all HCI

®

lamps

• The risk of UV-related bleaching for products and materials is reduced

• Luminaire covers and other components remain functional and transparent for longer

Systematic light – HCI ® and POWERTRONIC ®

PTi are the perfect combination:

• Optimum operation of HCI ® lamps with modern

POWERTRONIC ® PTi electronic control gear from

OSRAM

• Maximum system reliability, comfort and economy

• ECG system guarantee from OSRAM (see page 11)

POWERBALL HCI ® FOR NATURAL LIGHT

Exclusive sales lighting.

Anyone selling exclusive products will pay particular attention to proper presentation. HCI ® -T and HCI ® -TC ceramic lamps from OSRAM provide natural light in professional sales outlets, exhibition areas and showrooms. POWERBALL HCI ® Shoplight, another innovation from OSRAM, has been specially developed for high-quality sales lighting. These lamps not only have extremely good natural color rendering at the red end of the spectrum, they also offer high luminous fl ux. POWERBALL HCI ® -R111 lamps in the classic shape offer variety and high performance for open luminaires. For very small luminaires that have to provide large amounts of light, the smallest lamp in the range, the POWERBALL HCI ® -TF, is ideal.

POWERBALL HCI ® Shoplight: a real trendsetter.

The Nuremberg branch of the Wöhrl fashion chain uses HCI ® Shoplight to show its models to perfection. They also provide particularly modern attractive lighting for the displays at the Peek & Cloppenburg outlet in Düsseldorf.

942: a stylish presence.

HCI ® lamps in color 942 create a particularly cool clear atmosphere – ideal for modern and effective high-class displays. Used in this

Korean shopping center for example, they help exclusive products and stylish shop architecture look their best.

POWERBALL HCI ® FOR OPEN LUMINAIRES

Power your sales.

In department stores or supermarkets, in shopping centers or individual shops, in rooms with high ceilings or low, ceramic lamps from OSRAM always put everything in the right light.

POWERBALL HCI ® -E/P, -TP, -R111, -PAR lamps have been developed specifi cally for open luminaires. The Protected versions can be used without shields thanks to their built-in safety features.

POWERBALL HCI ® : better light, higher sales.

HCI ® ceramic lamps can be found in outlets, large and small, throughout the world – wholesalers, retailers, boutiques, car showrooms and supermarkets. They provide razor sharp lighting in numerous Lacoste branches.

POWERBALL HCI ® : absolutely natural.

Decorations, merchandise and materials always appear in their best light – thanks to natural and constant color rendering and reliable UV fi lters. The lamps are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes to suit every application.

POWERBALL HCI ® FOR HIGH DEMANDS

Attractive architecture.

POWERBALL HCI ® -T, -TM and -TT lamps are perfect for prestige city, street and park lighting.

Their white halogen-like light presents objects in their natural colors and is therefore particularly pleasant and attractive and gives people a sense of security. Existing luminaires can be quickly and easily upgraded with POWERBALL HCI ® -TT. HCI ® -T, -E, -TS and -TM lamps are also ideal for indoor applications where the demands are particular “high”, such as atriums, railroad stations, factories, sports halls and prestige offi ces with high ceilings.

-TM: unique technology.

The new HCI ® -TM lamp is perfectly suited for indirect lighting systems. It has given the

Olympic beach volleyball venue in Athens a sunny look.

POWERBALL HCI ® : a feast for the eyes.

HCI ® ceramic lamps provide the perfect light for fi lling large spaces and picking out the fi nest details. They are being used for example at the shopping and leisure center in Dubai to create a magical seductive light.

POWERBALL HCI ® : modern times.

Many historical buildings such as the Bundeshaus (Federal Government Building) and other buildings in the center of the Swiss capital of Bern now appear in new splendour thanks to HCI ® . OSRAM POWERBALL ® lamps even add to the dignity and grandeur of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC.

And they also bring out the majesty of church architecture, for example at the Church of

Saint Michel in Ussel, France.

POWERBALL HCI ® TECHNOLOGY

All-round perfection: POWERBALL HCI

®

.

The POWERBALL HCI ® super model from OSRAM with its round ceramic arc tube puts its cylindrical competitors firmly in the shade.

Better red color rendering.

The already excellent color rendering quality of metal halide lamps has been even further improved in the POWERBALL HCI ® with a better color rendering index at the demanding red end of the spectrum.

Constant light and color performance.

The secret behind the ability of POWERBALL HCI ® lamps to produce more light throughout their long life is their high corrosion resistance. The discharge vessel has no cold corners in which the fi ller gases can collect and attack the ceramic wall. Luminous effi cacy and color stability remain at a high level throughout the long life of the lamp - and in any burning position.

Optimum arc tube geometry for more light.

In the round ceramic arc tube higher arc temperatures are possible because the distance between the hot discharge arc and the ceramic wall is greater, so the wall does not get as hot.

Thanks to this optimum geometry, more light can be generated in the arc, thereby increasing the luminous effi cacy. There are no thick walls that swallow the light. The arc tube walls are uniformly thin so the light can escape unhindered. The result is more light and less energy loss.

Fewer components for greater stability.

The arc tube consists only of rounded components and has no “rupture points” where there is an abrupt change in wall thickness or diameter. This means that POWERBALL HCI ® has greater mechanical stability and is less susceptible to vibrations.

Life in hours

A comparison between cylindrical and round arc tubes:

Cylindrical arc tube:

Loss of light due to uneven spacing between the discharge arc and the ceramic wall and light-absorbent plugs.

Round arc tube:

More light – thanks to uniform spacing and uniform light in all directions.

Cylindrical arc tube:

In the corners the fi lling reacts instead of producing light.

Round arc tube:

Lower luminous fl ux losses and better stability because there are no deposits in the corners.

Cylindrical arc tube:

Corners are rupture points.

Round arc tube:

More stable, therefore less susceptible to vibrations.
