TFORCE LED HPL ND 57-42W E27 830 LED Bulb

The Philips TrueForce HPL ND 57-42W E27 830 LED bulb, reference 63822100, is a high-power professional LED lamp designed to replace traditional discharge lamps in compatible luminaires. With just 42 W, it delivers a luminous flux of 5700 lm and an efficacy of 135 lm/W, offering an LED alternative to 125 W HPL and 70 W SON lamps.

Equipped with an E27 cap and 3000 K warm white light, this Philips TrueForce lamp is especially suited for street, road and outdoor lighting applications, as well as other professional installations where existing luminaires are being upgraded to LED technology. It supports direct mains operation at 220-240 V or with a compatible electromagnetic ballast and provides an omnidirectional 360° light distribution.

42 W power and 5700 lm

The Philips TrueForce LED HPL consumes 42 W and produces a nominal luminous flux of 5700 lm, achieving a luminous efficacy of 135 lm/W.

These performance levels make it possible to significantly reduce installed power when upgrading lighting systems based on traditional discharge technologies, while maintaining a high light output.

LED alternative to HPL 125 W and SON 70 W

Philips specifies this reference as an LED alternative to 125 W HPL lamps and 70 W SON lamps. This equivalence makes it easier to modernize compatible existing luminaires without having to use an LED lamp with a power similar to the technology being replaced.

Before carrying out a replacement, the physical, electrical and thermal compatibility of the existing luminaire should be checked, especially the internal space, cap, ballast and auxiliary gear configuration.

E27 cap

Reference 63822100 uses an E27 screw base. This feature is especially important in retrofit installations, as Philips markets other TrueForce variants with different wattages and caps.

Installation should only be carried out in luminaires that can accommodate the dimensions, power and thermal conditions of this lamp.

3000 K warm light

The 830 color code corresponds to a color temperature of 3000 K and a CRI of 80. This tone provides a warm white light suitable for applications where visibility is combined with a less cold appearance than 4000 K or higher solutions.

360° light distribution

The bulb has a nominal beam angle of 360°, providing a practically omnidirectional distribution around the lamp.

This behavior makes it suitable as a replacement for discharge lamps in luminaires whose reflector is designed to collect and redistribute light from an omnidirectional source.

Corncob LED format

The Philips TrueForce uses a corncob-style LED design, with the emitters distributed around the body to generate light in multiple directions.

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

Compatible with electromagnetic ballast or direct mains connection

Philips specifies EM/Mains compatibility for this reference. This means it can be used in configurations compatible with an electromagnetic ballast or directly connected to the mains according to the installation scheme approved by the manufacturer.

The electrical configuration of the luminaire must be checked before installation, and any wiring modifications must be carried out by qualified personnel following Philips instructions.

Non-dimmable

The TrueForce LED HPL ND 57-42W E27 830 is not dimmable. It must not be connected to conventional dimmers unless Philips expressly indicates compatibility within a specific configuration.

50,000-hour nominal lifetime

Philips declares a nominal lifetime of 50,000 hours. The luminous flux maintenance factor at the end of this nominal life is 70%.

The lamp is also specified for 50,000 switching cycles, offering long service life for professional installations where light source replacement can involve high maintenance costs.

Fast start-up

The nominal start-up time is approximately 0.45 seconds, and it also reaches 60% of luminous flux in about 0.45 seconds.

Unlike certain traditional discharge lamps, LED technology provides lighting quickly after power is switched on.

IP65 protection

The lamp has an IP65 protection rating according to Philips’ official datasheet. This classification provides protection against dust ingress and water jets under the conditions specified by the manufacturer.

Final suitability for outdoor installation also depends on the luminaire, lamp holder, connections and the rest of the assembly components.

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.

To ensure the expected lifetime, it is important to respect the thermal conditions of the luminaire and provide adequate ventilation around the lamp.

220-240 V power supply

The 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 it has a power factor of 0.95.

These characteristics are intended for professional lighting installations connected to standard low-voltage networks.

Dimensions of 84 x 178 mm

The lamp has a diameter of 84 mm and an overall length of 178 mm, with an approximate net weight of 365 g.

These dimensions should be checked before replacing a conventional lamp, as the TrueForce must have sufficient space inside the existing luminaire and maintain the required distances for proper thermal operation.

Energy class D

The current energy efficiency rating published by Philips for this light source is D, in accordance with the current European system. The declared energy consumption is 42 kWh per 1000 hours of use.

RG1 photobiological safety

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

Maximum number of lamps per circuit breaker

Philips provides indicative values for installations with multiple lamps on the same circuit:

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

These values should be considered together with the actual characteristics of the circuit and the electrical sizing of the installation.
