Neotek Cold Cathode Fixture Interior / Exterior Model CCF US Pat. # 6,050,700 |
|
|
|
The Neotek fixture is
a straight or curved dimmable cold cathode UL Listed fixture that will
be made between 24" to 96". The fixture has a 25mm lamp
mounted onto a two piece aluminum extrusion with a cavity to enclose a
120mA solid state transformer that operates less than 1,000 Volts. The
input voltage is 120 Volts. the fixture is listed for indoors or
outdoors with the optional lens. Extrusion:
The extrusion will be 2 parts (top and bottom) and shall be
made of aluminum. The
bottom extrusion shall have four .125 diameter holes for end plates to
screw into, or for steel pins to be pressed into so that the adjacent
fixture can be attached. The
base extrusion can be used as a wire way.
The top extrusion will be notched at the ends to allow the
electrodes to pass thru, then the lamp and transformer will be mounted
to the extrusion. Lamp:
As manufactured by
Neotek, Inc., shall be 25mm diameter, lead glass halophosphor or
triphosphor coated as per specified color and fabricated to proper size,
shape, and made with flat ends. The
electrodes Shall be rated for 200mA, and welded onto tube in a “bend
back” configuration. The tube will then be heated and annealed to relieve stress
and strengthen tube. Tubes
will be processed with turbomolector pump system and bombarded as per
the electrode manufacturer. Color
of lamps shall be selected by the Designer. Transformer:
The transformer is a dimmable solid state type and is mounted
inside the top extrusion. The transformer is UL2161 with the secondary fault detectors.
The voltage will be 990 volts on the output and rated at 120mA.
The secondary wire shall be listed GTO5 or greater and rated for
105C. Transformers have three wires that are Hot (120V),Dimmed Hot
(0-120V), and Neutral (-). The transformer is High Power Factor for
efficiency. Primary is 120volts/ .80 Amps each. A maximum of 14 fixtures
per 20 Amp circuit is recommended. Lens: (optional) The fixture will have a protective lens made of UV protected acrylic and will snap onto the sides of the extrusion. These lens are recognized by UL and have a flame class of 94HB. Approval: The fixture has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) as a complete unit and is listed for indoors and outdoors damp location. Fixture is listed for both United States and Canada. Each fixture will have a UL Listing Mark under UL File E216527. The fixture was tested under UL-48, UL-1598, and UL-5 Standards.
