ICR Technology

The abbreviation IRC comes from English and stands for “Infrared Coating.” This coating is used to reduce the energy consumption of light fixtures, thereby making them significantly more efficient. With the same luminous flux, up to 30% energy can be saved by using IRC technology to reflect the thermal radiation back onto the lamp’s filament. More specifically, IRC technology works as follows: A special infrared coating is applied to the inside of the lamp bulb, which then reflects back most of the thermal radiation emitted by the filament when current flows. This IRC technology is primarily used in high-voltage and low-voltage halogen lamps with double-ended bases to reduce their energy consumption. While these types of lamps are by no means energy-saving, IRC technology does at least contribute to energy savings and, consequently, to environmental protection.
