High Lumen T5 Compact Fluorescent Lamp Replacements for 40-Watt T5 Compact Fluorescent Lamps

New York, N.Y. (April 12-14, 2005) - The SYLVANIA 28-Watt DULUX® L SUPERSAVER® T5 compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is the newest addition to the ever-expanding line of compact fluorescent products. The DULUX L SUPERSAVER lamps are high lumen, single-ended T5 twin-tube lamps that provide a lumen output similar to 4' linear fluorescent lamps, yet are half the length.

The 28-watt DULUX L SUPERSAVER lamp is a direct, high-efficiency replacement for the 40-watt DULUX L (no ballast change required) and boasts a lamp efficacy of up to 100 lumens per watt. Switching to SYLVANIA DULUX L SUPERSAVER lamps provide users with 10 percent energy savings while maintaining similar light levels."As energy costs continue to rise, the introduction of energy saving products like the 28-watt DULUX L lamp to the lighting market is vital in order to provide customers with the cost saving lighting retrofits they demand," said Jim Conley, product manager for Compact Fluorescent.

The 28-watt DULUX L SUPERSAVER lamps are available in color temperatures of 3000K, 3500K and 4100K, with a color rendering index (CRI) of 82. Their improved performance in lighting fixtures make them ideal for direct and indirect lighting applications, including 2x2 recessed direct or indirect, and wall wash type applications.

The DULUX L SUPERSAVER lamps operate on SYLVANIA QUICKTRONIC® Instant Start DL ballasts with QUICKSENSE® shutdown circuitry that protects against overheated bases and sockets at end-of-lamp-life. The system is also covered by the comprehensive SYLVANIA QUICK 60+® warranty.
