3C

The Mode ‘3C’ range has been designed specifically to operate argon pumped cold cathode lighting tubes of diameter 18-25mm. The ‘3C’ is effectively a modern update to the popular ‘Argotran’ from Mode Lighting. It offers the same functionality but with far greater usability.

The ‘3C’ are generally used to power concealed up-lighters in coffers or cornices. For this type of indirect lighting, a higher brightness is required than would normally be needed for simple Argon signage. There are three high output models of ‘3C’ to choose from. This model is the ‘3C-2’ which is a 90mA twin output version. It has an output voltage of less than 1kV and is therefore classified as a low voltage convertor. ‘3C’ is fully dimmable by all types of leading and trailing edge dimming systems and has open circuit and overload protection. Installation is now easier than ever with pluggable mains connectors and single screw cable clamps.
