Superior Lamp, Inc.: "There's More to March Than Just the Madness"

March 23, 2011 - MOUNT LAUREL NJ -- Spring is in the air. It's March, which means that all eyes are on college basketball. It's an American tradition to be glued to the television to root for a favorite team and pay close attention to your bracket. However, Superior Lamp, Inc. believes that there is more to March than the NCAA tournament. The weather is getting nicer. While it may be tempting to stay in and watch basketball, it's time for people to get outside and enjoy the weather and maybe even play some basketball themselves.

The college basketball tournament is impressive, and every year it seems to become more and more of a spectacle. If Americans spent even half as much time as they do watching the tournament or put half as much effort as these talented college basketball players put into their craft working towards improving and protecting our environment our country wouldn't be approaching an environmental crisis.

Our natural resources are bound to run out eventually. That is why it is so extremely important for American citizens to do their part. Superior Lamp, Inc. recognizes this need to take care of our country and has been designing their products to be environmentally friendly since the company was established in 1977. Spring is a great time for any individual or company to reassess their energy needs and make steps towards becoming more energy efficient. If everybody just made a small change or two, the results would be astonishing.

Superior Lamp Product Tip- Avoid "Hot Relamp"

, Superior Lamp Product Tip -AVOID “HOT RELAMP”

When your customers’ Superior Lamps are about to be installed, make sure the power is turned off to the fixture. This is done to avoid a “hot relamp.” Hot relamping tests have been shown to shorten, sometimes severely, the life of the lamp being installed in the socket.

A “hot relamp” is the term for changing a lamp when the power is still on at the socket. A hot relamp jolts the lamp’s filament when the base makes any positive electrical contact with the energized socket. When you screw in a lamp, you are wiggling the bulb around (which can flex the cold filament) and then a large surge of electricity jolts the filament while it is flexed. This moment of stress can reduce lamp life and cause a premature burnout. Cold relamping (relamping with the power off to the socket) is recommended for all types of screw-in and plug-in lamps. This should particularly be the case when changing Halogen lamps, since they use a more inflexible filament.

Hot relamps should also be avoided with fluorescent fixtures, as you can short out and damage the ballast and lamps. In addition, hot relamping places the installer at higher risk for electrocution, which is why hot relamping violates OSHA safety regulations.

To insure Superior Lamp customers get the best life and most satisfaction from our products, remind them not to hot relamp.
