240V DET Incandescent Lamps

Replacement 284mm 60W DET lamps for Razorlights and Slimlight striplights.

The DET lamp traces its origins back to the early days of lamp development some 80 years ago and it hasn't changed much during that time. It is a very popular lamp with users because of it's characteristics when mounted above mirrors in bathrooms and is used for illumination when applying makeup or shaving. The soft very warm white colour is kind to the face.

The DET lamp has poor lamp life at the best of times and life deteriorates further if installed in the vertical attitude or in an application where it experiences vibration. We recommend that you never install luminaires in the vertical attitude. The only attitude to use the DET is on a wall - i.e. horizontally on a vertical surface. Do not use it as under cabinet lighting either. The heat output tends to melt chocolate biscuits in the kitchen cupboard above! There are many other fittings with low energy consumption that will do the job better.

Though some suppliers offer DET lamps with 5 x the life of 'normal' lamps we doubt their claims as we don't know of any manufacturer who makes such a lamp.

If you want a really ECO-Friendly energy saving lamp choose the 3W 284mm DET LED Lamp for truly Fit n' Forget low maintenance performance coupled with low energy consumption. This lamp can be used in any attitude and has a rated life of 50,000 hours. And.. with such a low heat output it won't melt the chocolate biscuits in the cupboard above.
