Philips TrueForce Core LED SON-T

Philips TrueForce Core LED SON-T

The Philips TrueForce Core LED SON-T was developed as a cost-effective LED replacement for conventional SON-T and other HID lamps. The series combines a familiar tubular design with modern LED technology. This makes it relatively easy to upgrade existing professional lighting systems.

In addition, TrueForce Core has a similar bulb size and wide light distribution to traditional HID bulbs. This allows the existing optics of compatible fixtures to be used effectively.

For SON-T replacements ranging from 50W to 150W

The current product family includes various power ratings. This makes it possible to select the right LED lamp for a variety of existing SON-T installations.

• 17W – Replaces approximately a 50W SON-T bulb
• 26W – Replaces approximately a 70W SON-T bulb
• 40W – Replaces approximately a 100W SON-T bulb
• 45W and 49W – for high-power SON-T replacements up to approximately 150W

This significantly reduces power consumption while maintaining high light output.

2,700 to 10,000 lumens

The current TrueForce Core LED SON-T series ranges from 2,700 to 10,000 lumens. The exact luminous flux depends on the wattage and the selected color temperature.

• 17W – 2,700 to 3,000 lumens
• 26W – 4,000 to 4,500 lumens
• 40W – 6,500 to 7,500 lumens
• 45W / 49W – 8,800 to 10,000 lumens

This allows the light output to be precisely adjusted to match the existing system.

2700K, 3000K, and 4000K

Philips offers this series in three color temperatures. This allows the light color to be tailored to the environment and application.

• 2700K – warm white
• 3000K – warm white
• 4000K – neutral white

All current models feature a color display of CRI 70.

E27 and E40

The compact 17W and 26W models use a E27 lamp base. The more powerful 40W, 45W, and 49W models use E40.

As a result, the product family is compatible with various existing SON-T and HID fixtures.

Direct connection to mains power

The current TrueForce Core LED SON-T models are designed for direct connection to 220–240V AC power. This allows the conventional ballast to be removed from the electrical circuit.

This also prevents losses in the existing VSA. Always have the adjustment performed in accordance with Signify’s installation instructions.

Up to over 200 lm/W

Efficiency varies by model. For example, the current 49W / 4000K model delivers 10,000 lumens and reaches approximately 204 lm/W.

A 17W / 4000K model produces 3,000 lumens at approximately 176 lm/W. As a result, energy consumption can be significantly reduced compared to conventional HID lighting.

Wide light distribution

The current models have a very wide light distribution of approximately 300 to 330 degrees. As a result, the light is emitted almost all around the lamp.

This allows the existing reflector or optics of compatible luminaires to continue functioning effectively.

IP65

The Philips TrueForce Core LED SON-T has a IP65 rating. This protects the lamp itself from dust and water jets.

For outdoor applications, however, the fitting and the entire fixture must also be adequately protected. The light source’s IP65 rating does not automatically make the entire installation IP65-rated.

Not dimmable

All current models are not dimmable. As a result, Dimbaar has become a staple for this family at No be set.

25,000-hour service life

Signify specifies a nominal service life of 25,000 hours. In addition, the lamps are designed for approximately 50,000 switching cycles.

This reduces maintenance and the need to replace lamps compared to conventional HID lighting.

3-year warranty

The current individual TrueForce Core LED SON-T models have a 3-year warranty period. This clearly positions the Core series differently from the high-end MASTER LED HID SON-T Ultra Efficient.
