A comprehensive range of miniature incandescent lamps including advanced Xenon-filled types and matching drop-in replacement sockets is available from CML Innovative Technologies (CML-IT). Cost-effective and with high luminous output, traditional incandescent lamps still have a valid role in many applications such as automotive, gaming, aviation and transport, where cost restrictions do not warrant the use of still higher-priced, modern LED lamps.
Produced in Bury (United Kingdom) and Bamberg (Germany), CML-IT's range of Xenon-filled miniature incandescent lamps, for example, benefits from a long service life of 10,000 hours, a cool wall temperature (about 30degC less than comparable Argon lamps), a very high colour temperature and high output in low-watt versions. Compared with conventional incandescent lamps, Xenon-filled types also offer power savings.
Miniature incandescent lamps generate significant sales of approximately $40M per year for CML-IT and recently prompted a major investment at the company's production facility in Bury. A new socket machine was commissioned and will increase the production of sockets from 440,000 units per week up to 660,000 units per week. This will make it even easier for customers to directly source miniature incandescent lamps and matching sockets from CML-IT.
