Lumen Maintenance
As lamps age, the amount of light they produce decreases as does their energy efficiency. This is due to various factors such as filament depletion, gas-fill “clean up” where the molecules of gas are slowly absorbed into the structure of the lamp over time, changes in internal pressure, etc. This chart shows the expected lifespan and rate of decay in the output of various kinds of lamps including the RealTime electromagnetic lamps. You will note that RealTime lamps have the highest rate of lumen maintenance.
