However, the Biax™ S/E lamps have 4-pin caps without built-in capacitors and starters, they are therefore suitable for operation with electronic control gear and can be used for dimming and emergency lighting applications. Biax™ S/E lamps can provide savings of up to 73% in energy costs compared to incandescent lamps and have high quality colour rendering. The use of separate electronic ballasts makes them suitable for almost every kind of energy supply: high and low voltages, accumulators, batteries, solar cells and systems that can be dimmed.
