PHILIPS LONG-LIFE PAR38 LAMP BENEFITS FROM HOUSING OF ARNITE® PBT FROM DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS
The housing and rim of the recently-introduced Philips 25 watt MasterColor® Integrated PAR38 metal halide lamp retain their good looks and strength, thanks to Arnite® polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) from DSM Engineering Plastics. The Philips lamp has proven popular in retail and industrial settings because it lasts two to three times longer than similarly-rated halogen lamps, and it uses 65% less energy to create more light output than halogen competitors. In addition to the material, DSM Engineering Plastics provided product and tool design consultation for the lamp, as well as International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) end-product testing.
