The OSRAM Special LINESTRA lamp is a tubular incandescent lamp with an S14d base. It is designed for specific lighting fixtures, often found in bathrooms or decorative applications where linear light sources are preferred. Its opal finish ensures a uniform and glare-free light distribution.
3. Installation and Setup
- Safety First: Before attempting any installation, ensure the power supply to the fixture is completely switched off at the main circuit breaker.
- Check Compatibility: Verify that your lighting fixture is designed for an S14d base and can safely accommodate a 35W, 230V lamp. Refer to your fixture's manual for specifications.
- Unpack the Lamp: Carefully remove the lamp from its packaging. Handle the lamp by its base or ends to avoid touching the glass surface directly, as oils from your skin can reduce lamp life.
- Insert the Lamp: Align the S14d base pins with the corresponding slots in the lamp holder. Gently push and slide the lamp into place until it is securely seated. Do not force the lamp.
- Restore Power: Once the lamp is securely installed, restore power to the fixture at the main circuit breaker.
- Test Operation: Switch on the light to confirm proper installation and functionality.
Caution: Do not exceed the maximum wattage specified for your lighting fixture. Overloading can cause overheating and fire hazards.
4. Operating Instructions
The OSRAM Special LINESTRA lamp operates like a standard incandescent bulb. Once installed in a compatible fixture and power is supplied, it will illuminate when the fixture's switch is turned on.
- Switching On/Off: Use the wall switch or the switch integrated into your lighting fixture to turn the lamp on or off.
- Intended Use: This lamp is primarily intended for indoor use, particularly for mirror lighting and other decorative applications where a linear light source is desired.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Ensure the lamp is cool and the power is off before cleaning. Wipe the lamp gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the lamp's surface or internal components.
- Lamp Replacement: When the lamp reaches the end of its life (average nominal lifetime is 1000 hours), it will cease to function. To replace it, follow the installation steps in Section 3, ensuring the power is off before removing the old lamp and installing a new one. Dispose of old lamps according to local regulations.
