TFORCE LED HPL ND 60-42W E40 840 LED Bulb

The Philips TrueForce LED HPL ND 60-42W E40 840 LED bulb, reference 63828300, is a professional LED lamp designed to replace HID discharge light sources in compatible luminaires. With a power rating of 42 W, it delivers a luminous flux of 6000 lm and an efficacy of 142 lm/W, offering an LED alternative to 125 W HPL and 70 W SON lamps.

Equipped with an E40 base and 4000 K neutral white light, it stands out for its omnidirectional 360° light distribution, especially suitable for taking advantage of the reflectors in luminaires originally designed for discharge lamps. It can operate either with a compatible electromagnetic ballast or via direct connection to 220-240 V mains, providing flexibility in lighting retrofit projects.

42 W power and 6000 lm

The Philips TrueForce LED HPL offers a nominal luminous flux of 6000 lm with a consumption of 42 W, achieving a luminous efficacy of 142 lm/W. This combination makes it possible to significantly reduce installed power compared with traditional HID technologies while maintaining high light output.

LED replacement for HPL 125 W and SON 70 W

Philips specifies this reference as an alternative to 125 W HPL lamps and 70 W SON lamps. It is especially intended for the modernization of compatible existing luminaires in urban, street, residential, and professional lighting.

Before replacing, the luminaire dimensions, base, thermal conditions, and compatibility of the installed control gear must be checked.

Compatible with electromagnetic ballast and direct mains connection

One of the main advantages of the TrueForce LED HPL 63828300 is its EM/mains compatibility. It can work with compatible electromagnetic ballasts or be connected directly to 220-240 V supply following the diagrams and conditions indicated by Philips.

This makes it easier to retrofit existing installations. If the wiring is modified to remove or bypass the control gear, the work must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

E40 base

The lamp uses an E40 screw base, common in professional luminaires equipped with high-power HID sources. Before replacing an existing lamp, it is necessary to verify that the installed lampholder is E40.

4000 K neutral white light

The 840 color code corresponds to a color temperature of 4000 K and a CRI of 80. This neutral white tone provides functional and balanced lighting, suitable for areas where good visibility is required.

The color consistency specified by Philips is below 6.

360° light distribution

The lamp has a nominal beam angle of 360°, emitting light around virtually its entire perimeter. This omnidirectional distribution makes it possible to take advantage of the reflectors in many luminaires originally designed for HPL or SON lamps.

Corncob LED format

The TrueForce LED HPL uses a corncob design, with the LED emitters distributed around the body. This format provides a very wide light distribution while maintaining dimensions compatible with numerous HID luminaires.

The body is made of plastic and has a transparent finish.

IP65 protection

Philips specifies an IP65 protection rating for the lamp, providing protection against dust ingress and water jets under the intended installation conditions.

In outdoor applications, the final protection rating of the assembly also depends on the luminaire, lampholder, connections, and the rest of the components used.

Nominal service life of 50,000 hours

The nominal service life declared by Philips is 50,000 hours, with 70% luminous flux maintenance at the end of that period.

The lamp is also designed to withstand up to 50,000 switching cycles, helping reduce maintenance interventions in professional installations.

Fast start-up

The nominal start-up time is approximately 0.45 seconds, and the lamp reaches 60% of its luminous flux in about 0.45 seconds as well.

LED technology thus avoids the long warm-up periods typical of certain traditional discharge sources.

220-240 V supply

The Philips TrueForce LED HPL operates at a nominal voltage of 220-240 V and a frequency of 50-60 Hz. Its nominal current is 186 mA and the power factor reaches 0.95.

The inrush current specified by the manufacturer is 6.3 A.

Non-dimmable

The ND designation indicates that this lamp is not dimmable. It must not be connected to conventional dimmers.

Dimensions of 84 x 191 mm

The lamp has a diameter of 84 mm and an overall length of 191 mm. Its net weight is approximately 500 g.

These dimensions should be checked before replacement to ensure there is enough space inside the luminaire and that proper thermal conditions are maintained.

Operating range from -30 to +45 °C

Philips specifies an operating ambient temperature range from -30 to +45 °C. The maximum rated case temperature T-Case is 65 °C.

Energy efficiency class D

The TrueForce LED HPL 63828300 has energy efficiency class D according to the current European scale. The declared energy consumption is 42 kWh per 1000 hours of operation.

RG1 photobiological safety

The lamp is classified in photobiological risk group RG1 according to EN 62471. Philips also declares a PstLM flicker value of 1 and an SVM stroboscopic effect value of 1.6.

Maximum number of lamps per circuit

Philips indicates different maximum quantities depending on the circuit breaker and supply system:

• B10 circuit breaker with direct mains connection: up to 30 lamps.
• B10 circuit breaker with EM ballast without capacitor: up to 30 lamps.
• B10 circuit breaker with EM ballast and capacitor: up to 7 lamps.
• B16 circuit breaker with direct mains connection: up to 48 lamps.
• B16 circuit breaker with EM ballast without capacitor: up to 48 lamps.
• B16 circuit breaker with EM ballast and capacitor: up to 11 lamps.

These values must be combined with the actual sizing of conductors, protection devices, and installation characteristics.
