Havells Sylvania Newsroom
Havells Sylvania -- Lighting the City of the Future
Date story added: 17/06/09
Havells Sylvania has just launched a new generation of high efficiency white light sources with its revolutionary UrbanWhiteTM CMO–TW tubular ceramic metal halide lamps for outdoor lighting, in four wattages -- 45W, 60W, 90W and 140W.
However, it’s not only the new lamps which are outstanding -- the range is complemented by the perfectly matching BriteTronic Xtreme electronic control gear, making it a complete urban lighting system.
The extremely compact system is designed to deliver maximum performance, with light output efficiency reaching a remarkable 118 lm/W in the 140W version. The specific combination of halides and its special arc tube design contribute to the lamp’s optimised efficacy.
In fact, as well as offering white light for improved perceived brightness, the UrbanWhiteTM range is more efficient than alternative outdoor lighting solutions, even high pressure sodium. The range offers energy savings of up to 14% when compared to current ‘yellow’ SHP-TS lamps: the output of CMO-TW 45W matches the SHP-TS 50W; CMO-TW 60W is equivalent to the SHP-TS 70W; CMO-TW 90W equals the SHP-TS100W; and the luminous flux of the CMO-TW 140W is similar to that of the SHP-TS 150W. By consuming less energy, and putting out less CO2 emissions, the UrbanWhite range will also help to save the environment.
The lamp’s compact form is mainly achieved by the new arc tube shape, which guarantees optimised optical performance, as well as offering greater flexibility for use in modern, high-performance luminaires. Moreover, the improved twist-and-lock cap offers ease-of-use and firm, precise alignment within the luminaire, without compromise. Of course, all lamps come with an integral UV stop on the outer bulb.
Typical applications for the new system are city centres, residential areas, roads, tunnels, parks and public places. The extremely bright white light of the CMO-TW lamps improves user visibility at night, especially in dark streets and areas, leading to a more pleasant outdoor ambience and greater safety for residents, pedestrians and drivers. Last but not least, the entire system is characterised by an optimal service life of three years – resulting in reduced maintenance costs for municipalities.
UrbanWhiteTM CMO–TW lamps – the perfect solution to urban lighting needs, offering an unbeatable combination of white light, energy saving and optimal light distribution.
All products will be available in Europe at the end of July 2009.
