CONT

The life rating of a light source is given in burning hours and is based on measurement of a large representative group of lamps under laboratory conditions. The rating is based on lamp industry standards which specify the burning cycle per start, a 50% mortality, and approximately a minimum of 70% rated lumens.

CONT

If lamps are tested at 11 hours per start (i.e. an 11 hour burning cycle), then an installation in which the lamps are operated for only three hours at a time may experience significantly shorter lamp life.
