| General remarks | The ambient temperature during the whole set of illuminance measurements was 25.5 – 26.2 deg C.
The temperature of the lamp gets maximally about 9.5 degrees hotter than ambient temperature. Warm up effect: During the warmup time the illuminance varies during 11 minutes and decreases with 5 %.

Overview table
Please note that this overview table makes use of calculations, use this data with care as explained on the OliNo site. E (lux) values are not accurate, when within 5 x 1460 mm (maximal luminous size, eventually diagonally measured)= 7300 mm. Within this distance from the lamp (data given in red), the measured lux values will be less than the computed values in this overview as the measurements are then within the near field of the lamp.
EU 2013 Energy label classification
Since Sept 2013 these labels will be needed.
Important for the energy classification are the corrected rated power and the useful luminous flux.
The measured rated power is 23.7 W and might need to be corrected. The correction is dependent from the lamp type and whether or not the lamp control gear is included or not. The choice for this lamp is the following classification: Lamps with own control gear (external or internal). As a result the corrected rated power becomes: 23.7 W.
The luminous flux measured is 2684 lm. The classification of this lamp needed to determine the useful flux is: Non-directional lamps. Then the useful flux becomes 2684 lm. Now a reference power can be calculated.
The energy efficiency coefficient is P_corr / P_ref = 0.12.

Eulumdat light diagram
This light diagram below comes from the program Qlumedit, that extracts these diagrams from an Eulumdat file.

The light diagram giving the radiation pattern.
The light diagram indicates the beam in the C0-C180 plane (perpendicular to the length direction of the lamp) and in the plane perpendicular to that, the C90-C270 plane (along the length direction of the lamp).
Illuminance Ev at 1 m distance, or luminous intensity Iv
Herewith the plot of the averaged luminous intensity Iv as a function of the inclination angle with the light bulb.
The radiation pattern of the light bulb.
This radiation pattern is the average of the light output of the light diagram given earlier. Also, in this graph the luminous intensity is given in Cd.
These averaged values are used (later) to compute the lumen output.
Intensity data of every measured turn angle at each inclination angle.
This plot shows per inclination angle the intensity measurement results for each turn angle at that inclination angle. There normally are differences in illuminance values for different turn angles. However for further calculations the averaged values will be used.
When using the average values per inclination angle, the beam angle can be computed, being 142 deg for the C0-C180 plane and 109 deg for the C90-C270 plane.
Luminous flux
With the averaged illuminance data at 1 m distance, taken from the graph showing the averaged radiation pattern, it is possible to compute the luminous flux.
The result of this computation for this light spot is a luminous flux of 2684 lm.
Luminous efficacy
The luminous flux being 2684 lm, and the consumed power of the lamp being 23.7 Watt, results in a luminous efficacy of 113 lm/Watt.
Electrical properties
The power factor is 0.94. An electrical load with this power factor means that for every 1 kWh net energy consumed, there has been 0.35 kVAhr for reactive energy.

Harmonics in the current waveform and checked against IEC61000-3-2:2006 and A2:2009
When the consumed power is <= 25 W there are no limits for the harmonics.
The Total Harmonic Distortion of the current is computed and its value is 12 %.
Inrush current
The inrush current has been measured for different voltage start angles; from 0 – 170 degrees with a 10 degrees step. The current- and voltage values have been acquires at a sample speed of 39.9 kS/s. Then this data has been fed into a second order 2kHz low pass Butterworth filter. This removes the current spikes that do not represent relevant values.
The lamp was two minutes off before every inrush current measurement was made.
