orbik-perferm-module2ORBIK’s passion towards maintaining successful partnerships with customers enabled new markets to be explored and this rapidly expanded ORBIK’s range of products which now includes a comprehensive range of emergency control gear for linear and compact fluorescent lamps, central battery systems, inverters, mains and emergency lighting luminaires, static inverter systems, self test and addressable emergency systems and now with a range of LED mains and emergency luminaires to support the challenges of reducing carbon footprint.

Orbik Product information

Combined Module/Ballast

orbik-ballastIncorporates Perferm technology to ensure optimum operation of low mercury and amalgam construction lamps from both ‘cold start’ and warm start applications. The electronic ballast circuit has a lamp failure protection circuit to prevent damage occurring to the ballast when a lamp fails

Sine-wave output in emergency prevents unpleasant visual lamp effects and ensures maximum lamp cathode lamp. Advanced battery charging exploits energy absorption charging technology and reduces power losses in the unit. Reverse polarity protected to provide stable charge conditions to maximise battery life.

Products include: MCP4100P3, MCP4097P3, MCP4099P3, MCP4098P3, MCP4101P3

Perferm Conversion Modules for Fluorescent Lamps

With the increased concern regarding the environmental impact of mercury on the environment, the lighting industry is constantly reducing the amount of mercury in fluorescent lamps. Typical levels are currently 3mg. However, there are some fluorescent lamps with levels of Perferm technology is an ongoing development involving the latest lamp technology and as such is subject to change as and when further lamps/data become available.
