High-quality daylight ESL for better color reproduction

I put 6 pieces of ESL in my office for over 3 years as the main light source, and am very pleased with this decision. Currently, the ESL have been with me for more than 7000 hours (3 years x 300 days x 8 hours) in use (ie 70% of the predicted service life) and there was no failure, the brightness (measured with a light meter of Sekonic) has not abated.

By the 5-band phosphor used this ESL is very similar colors reflect the sunlight able. The Ra color rendering index is> 92 - and it shows.

Not everyone likes daylight temperatures in lighting and not for any room (eg living room, bedroom) is suitable that, but I find the workspace 6500 Kelvin ideal. For me, the works - even if it is sometimes late - as guard holder and promotes my ability to concentrate.

The Compact 2000 HPF also has a high switching strength of 600,000 switching operations - one on the ESL eg 20x on one day, then this would affect only after 100 years. This could be used in a stairwell with motion sensor it even.

Also a positive note that the ESL immediately after turning already achieved a high brightness - I measured it the well:
Immediately after turning it already reached 65% of the final brightness after 1 min. 90% and the maximum after about 2 min.

Technically environment contains these ESL no liquid mercury, but in the form of a metal compound, the so-called. Amalgam. This means that the ESI should break, no mercury can enter the environment. Even the recycling that is an advantage.

Overall, this is for me an extremely successful product, although a little more expensive than other ESLs, but worth every penny.
