Why This Configuration
What the 40 W / 3000 K / RAL7043 combination is actually for.
40 W · 5,600 lm
5,600 lm at the same 140 lm/W, about a third more than the 30 W version. For wider walkways, campus loop roads and plaza edges where the 30 W would leave dark bands.
3000 K · warm white
Warm, low-blue light that sits comfortably beside lit residential windows and period brickwork. The default for heritage streets and housing estates.
RAL7043 · dark grey
Graphite grey that recedes against dark poles, wet asphalt and evening foliage, so the lit ring reads as a floating disc after dark.
Installation & Wiring
Pole interface
Slides onto a Ø60 mm post. Base Ø90 mm outside, minimum Ø61 mm inner bore, 65 mm of engagement — no adapter needed.
Wiring
Factory-fitted 0.5 m three-pole round rubber cable, 3 × 1.0 mm², single flying wires. Terminate inside the pole handhole.
Circuit loading
Approximately 0.19 A per luminaire at 230 V, calculated from 40 W at a power factor of 0.9 (worst case). Size the circuit and any timer contactor against that figure.
Earthing and surge
Safety Class I — protective earth required. Surge protection L-N 2 kV and L/N-PE 4 kV built in; ETO raises this to 10 kV.
Isolate the circuit before opening the pole handhole. This version is on/off only — it has no dimming input, so do not wire it to a dimmer or a DALI line.

What does the 3000 K version give me compared with the 4000 K version?
Both run the same 140 lm/W platform and differ only in colour temperature, so the 40 W 3000 K and 40 W 4000 K versions carry the same nominal output. This page states the family figure because the 3000 K value is not separately published. Philips publishes initial lumens at 4000 K (4,200 / 5,600 / 7,000 lm for 30 / 40 / 50 W); the 3000 K version shares that efficacy figure. Pick 3000 K for residential edges and heritage streets, 4000 K where a neutral white is specified.
Can this 40 W version be dimmed?
No — the standard BGP162 D520 40 3000K RAL7043 is on/off only, and the integral driver has no dimming input. 0-10 V dimming or DALI-2 DT6 is available as an engineered-to-order variant on the same housing, together with up to 100 W, 2200 K / 2700 K / 5000 K and 10 kV surge protection. ETO variants carry a minimum order quantity and are quoted per project.
What exactly does 911401742534 cover, and which pole do I need?
The 12NC covers the luminaire only, in RAL7043 dark grey, with a factory-fitted 0.5 m three-pole cable. No pole is included. The base is Ø90 mm outside with a minimum Ø61 mm bore and 65 mm of engagement, so it slides onto a standard Ø60 mm post. Safety Class I — a protective earth is required. The other housing colour of the same wattage and CCT is BGP162 D520 40 3000K RAL7040.
