Technical

Philips Masterline R111 lamps use IRC technology

this enables a lower wattage lamp to be used with no loss of light output.

How does this work?

Its easy really, IRC = Infra Red Coating, the coating covers the capsule or burner insulating the lamp.

For the lamp to operate at its optimum it needs to be at a specific temperature.

As the lamp is insulated the power required to reach this temperature is now reduced

this is why a lower wattage can be used to achieve the same power output.
