Holtkotter (Holtkoetter) Dimmable Fluorescent Afterburner Technology

The concept of the Afterburner design is to increase the efficiency of the light output without increasing the use of electricity. One way to achieve a more efficient output is to burn the fluorescent lamp at a higher temperature. The design of the glass shade makes it possible to reflect the infra-red light rays back to the tube as heat.

As heat is reflected back onto the tube, the ambient temperature increases to approximately 35o C, warming the tube to a more efficient temperature without using more electricity. The temperature of the bulb without the Afterburner is approximately 25o C, with an output of 8, 400 Lumens. With the ambient temperature at 35o C, the output is 10, 080 Lumens, a 20% increase!
