The following glossary of terms will help you when selecting lamps in this section.
Within each product line, lamps are divided into families – within these families,
lamps are listed by wattage. The Product Description can be used as a quick
reference to each product’s attributes. Where Life or Average Life are stated we
refer to the industry standard definition of how many hours of operation 50% of
a given installation will exceed.
