You get more light longersave time, trouble, and money,

because ffi#&K#ffiffieffiW units

stay clean inside. Here's how:

No matter what type of environment your plant operations produce-grit,
fumes, or ordinary dust only the janitors can see-Filterglow units (and only
Filterglow units) have built-in cleaning protection for lamp, reflector, and
inside door glass. Activated charcoal purifies the air, keeps the inside elements clean.
Even enclosed luminaires "breathe." During operating hours, when the
lamp is hot, air is forced out of the optical assembly. When the lamp is not
operating, cool air is brought in, depositing light-dimming contaminants on
the lamp, reflector, and inside door glass.
But with the enclosed GE Filterglorv luminaire (rated as a Dustproof Unit,
meeting U/L and NEC requirements for Class III, Division I and2locations),
incoming air-following the line of least resistance-passes through a disc of
activated cocoanut charcoal gasketed through the reflector. This filter s/ops

atmospheric contaminants before they can do their dirty work.

Result: Iight output stays high. You get more of the light you're paying for,
longer-plus high maintained visibility on working surfaces. And because of
lessened need to clean, maintenance is greatly reduced. A once-in-a-while
wipeoff of the outside of the door glass is all the maintenance needed between
lamp changes. You save the costly bother of periodic cleaning of luminaires'
Filter elements last indefinitely under normal lighting conditions. Where
atmospheric contaminants are especially heavy, filters can easily be changed
during periodic relamping.

The result? The exclusive GE ALGLAS reflector,

o Because atmospheric contaminants don't adhere to
the inert finish, it stays brighter longer than open units

Take the durability and light weight of aluminum; the

In

essence,

this new development is a heavy-duty,

precision-formed aluminum reflector, chemically processed on both sides with a silicate glass finish which is
inert and highly resistant to corrosion and heat. Because of the extra smoothness of the surface, the reflector stays cleaner-since dirt and stains are less
likely to adhere. And when units must be cleaned,
ALGLAS is as easily cleaned as glass.
With the GE ALGLAS flnish, there is no sacrifice in

reflector efficiency-in fact, there is a slight gain-in

comparison to aluminum with an anodized protective
coating or prismatic glass reflectors.
The ALGLAS finish is on the reflectors of all units
described in this bulletin. Its advantages are perhaps
more pronounced, however, in the EconoglowTv open

o When cleaning ls performed, the ALGLAS reflector

is restored to peak reflectance with minimal effort,

whereas a metallic-finish reflector is inherently more
susceptible to permanent dulling from atmospheric
exposure.

r Because of the inertness of the ALGLAS finish,

Filterglow and Econoglow units are extra-protected
both inside and out from destructive chemical fumes
common to industrial installations.
The test results below show how the GE ALGLAS

a total-cost-of-lighting plus!

Until the Filterglow luminaire was developed, the use of highintensity discharge lamps in enclosed fixtures has been compli
cated by the lack of up-light from available enclosed units. Any
lighting system should provide

visually comfortable atmosphere,

free from inherent brightness contrasts that might cause eye

strain.

Current IES recommended practices suggest significant

amounts of upJight, in all installations, to reduce the contrast
between the brightness of the light sources and their background.
This can best be done by a lunit designed for up-light without un-

duly sacrilicing downJighting efficiency. Generally speaking,

about 10 percent up-light is considered ideal with vapor-source
lamps. OnIy Filterglow luminaires provide this up'light in an
enclosed fixture.

Also, in the critical viewing angle zone of 60 to 90 degrees from

vertical, the specular reflectors of GE units are measurably lower
in brightness than prismatic glass, etched aluminum, or porcelain
reflectors commonly used in this equipment.
Between the up-light and the inherent lower brightness of GE
units, your work force gets the best in visual comfort with General
Electric luminaires.
