20w LEDVANCE (Osram) 80w Mercury Retrofit
|
1 x 20w LED filament lamp which is designed to replace 1 x 80w mercury vapour lamp.
Can be used on straight mains or with existing ballast as long as any ignitor or PFC capacitor is removed.
AT 3000lm it is slightly dimmer than a brand new 80w MBF lamp but since mercury lamps suffer from substantial lumen depreciation over their lives I reckon this will be brighter overall.
This does look quite realistic when lit in a lantern tbh! From a distance you'd be hard pressed to tell that this was not a brand new mercury lamp... except perhaps the far better CRI of this lamp.
While not quite as efficient as Philips' offering, these are better IMO as the smaller outer envelope lends itself for fitting inside existing lanterns better.
The Philips version of this will only fit into lanterns that would also accept a 125w lamp.
