Fluorescent Lamp - Indirect Lighting Fixtures for your Office Panels

- This slim-lined lamp surrounds you with ambient light

Fluorescent lamp provides ambient lighting for open cubicle environments. Ambient lighting is the type of lighting in an area that provides general illumination. It is essential in offices as it helps to remove sharp contrast between potential dark areas and computer screens. Different than personal task lights, which are best focused on particular paper or work surface-based projects, pleasing ambient lighting, especially when combined with a task light in your work area, can help ensure ergonomic vision wellbeing.

Two different models of indirect lighting fixtures are available in several color finishes. Two models of panel lamps are available in similar design, and both measuring 47.84"L. Slim tubular styling is designed to mount along the top of office panels and provide indirect general illumination. One model provides illumination with two T5 high-output 3500K bulbs. The other model houses two 40 watt compact fluorescent 3500K lamps and includes a linear prismatic lens. To achieve optimal coordination with your office decor, these desk lighting ambients may be ordered in any of several available colors.

Indirect lighting fixtures provide quality construction and features. The overall length of these contemporary tubular styled lamps is 47.84" L and the rounded tube is 4" in diameter. The housing itself is extruded aluminum with stamped 14-gauge steel end plates. It is then finished with a baked enamel coating in a choice of colors.

As you can see in graphic at left, two bulbs rest end to end inside the housing. Your light includes two bulbs, and the distinction between the two models available is the type of bulb each is designed to accept:

34-AL3-48 uses two T5 high output lamps which produce approximately 45% more initial lumens than a standard T5 lamp of similar size. Their end caps are flat to match the body. The average life of these bulbs is 16,000 hours, which translates to lower lamp replacement cost as well as lower resultant labor costs. Compared to incandescents and halogens, these lamps operate cooler, with resultant reduction in office cooling costs. These lamps have a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 85, making it the most color accurate fluorescent source available presently.

34-AL3-48B utilizes two 40W compact fluorescent lamps. These provide an average life of approximately 20,000 hours. Its CRI rating is 82 so it, too, provides a more natural color to objects, though not as accurate as that of T5 high output lamps described earlier. This particular lamp also incorporates a Batwing lens (linear prismatic, shown at left) with ridges and valleys running perpendicular to the user. This reduces the amount of reflected light that can bounce off the work surface and back up into the eyes of the user.

Depending on which model you select, yours will either work with two T5 high output lamps or two 40W compact fluorescent bulbs laid end-to-end as shown in the graphic above.

Advantages to using a fluorescent lamp with an electronic ballast.  Both models use an electronic ballast, providing several advantages over a magnetic ballast. First, electronic ballasts decrease energy costs because they operate at cooler temperatures. Second, due to their solid state construction, audible humming (which is often associated with magnetic ballasts) is eliminated. Third, flicker caused by voltage fluctuations is minimized. Fourth, this ballast eliminates interference with Video Display Terminals (VDTs) through the omission of electro magnetic interference (EMI).

Cross reference your panel system against the Orchid AL3. Open up this reference guide by clicking here. Find the name of the panel manufacturer and system upon which you intend to mount this light fixture and see if there is an "X" under the heading of AL3, signifying that this ambient light is compatible with your particular system. This list is subject to change, however, so if you do not find your panel system on the pop-up list, contact our customer service department to check for updated compatibility.

If you do find that your panel system coordinates with the AL3 lighting, contact our customer service department to place your order after first deciding on the color for your lamps.
