End of Lamp Life (EOL) The end of lamp life (EOL) effect has been a topic of much discussion over the past few months, however this phenomenon is not new and has been recognized for a number of years. The profile of EOL has been raised in recent months due to a number of serious failures in some of our competitor’s luminaires. As a result, there is considerable confusion surrounding the issue and the certification requirements for Ex e luminaires to protect against EOL. It should be highlighted that Chalmit products have always incorporated EOL protection and that no problems of EOL have ever been reported with Chalmit luminaires or ballasts. This presentation is will outline what constitutes EOL and how Chalmit products are protected.
